I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Washington D.C. I have experience working with adolescences, teens, and adults struggling with trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, stress and life transitions. I use Person Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a Solution focused approach when working with clients. I enjoy helping clients use their uniqueness to find joy within, while offering mindfulness techniques and guidance to help each client meet their self-proclaimed goals. I work with my clients to create a safe place where they can speak and share openly, free from judgment or shame while learning new skills to find healing and to live a healthier life.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
