As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the Commonwealth of Virginia, with an unrestricted professional license, I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and groups. I bring more than twenty years of post-graduate experience, with a master’s degree in Clinical Social Work (MSW) from Boston University and an undergraduate degree in Business Management (BA) from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, FL.
Prior to attending graduate school in Boston, I worked primarily in group home
settings supporting mentally and developmentally disabled adults. Through these experiences I came to understand my own privilege, and my commitment to serve others deepened further.
I have spent my career supporting those in crisis, people struggling with grief, and helping marginalized folx expand their spaces. During the early part of my career, I worked with Fenway Health, a leading community health center in Boston serving the LGBTQAI+ community.
After my time in Boston, I spent more than a decade serving children and families in Northern Virginia as a social worker for a local jurisdiction, followed by multiple years working at the Detox Center in Fairfax County. My experience and training include working with out-of-family placements, adoption, substance use disorders, co-occurring trauma and disorders, anxiety/depression, and grief work.
