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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
