You Process Your Experience, Prioritize Your Goals
& Move Your Life Forward >>
Through my own experiences and experience supporting others, I am sure of one thing: authentic joy doesn’t come from settling into what we are "supposed" to do.
​
I am honored to use my career as a therapist and coach to help others avoid settling and find true, authentic joy.
​
I have dedicated many years to gaining extensive & multifaceted education, training, and experience that allows me to competently and meaningfully support my clients through difficult times of transition.
​
I earned my Master of Social Work Degree with a concentration in Adult Mental Health and Trauma from the University of
Denver. I currently provide clinical therapy services as a Supervisee in Social Work to complete the 3,000-hour clinical requirement to gain LCSW licensure in Virginia. I engage in specialized training focused on the needs my core clientele, including becoming a trained and certified Parenting Coordinator, completing couple’s therapy training including base-level Emotionally Focused Therapy training, and completing Domestic and Sexual Violence specific training.
Before entering private practice, I worked at The Women’s Center in Vienna, Virginia providing individual, couples, and family therapy services to a diverse set of low-income clients and domestic violence survivors.
​
Additionally, I completed a Master of Legal Studies Degree from American University, which I used to gain experience in the family law field as a paralegal to learn about the impacts of high-conflict divorce, child custody, and various family law matters from the legal perspective.
I have also completed intensive certification processes to become a Certified Divorce Coach and Certified Life Coach, and have gained client-facing experience supporting clients nationwide through an action-oriented coaching model as I complete my LCSW licensure.
