About Me

Im a licensed clinical social worker in Virginia and Utah with over 30 years of clinical experience. I am IFS level 1 and EMDR trained. I'm passionate about helping children, teens, young adults, adults, and families to experience greater well-being and connection in their every day lives. My approach is reflective, compassionate, and supportive. In my free time, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my dog, family, and friends.

Education & Experience

I completed my undergraduate degree with a double major in Psychology and French at Denver University and completed my graduate degree at The University of Utah, Graduate School of Social Work. I spent 30 years in Utah, and worked as a clinical director of children's services, a school district mental health specialist, as an out patient therapist, and as a community consultant. My experience and interest was focused upon providing supportive services to under-resourced youth and families. Since moving to Va in 2022, I have opened a private practice and am grateful for the opportunity to work with individuals and families who are invested in their treatment and in experiencing a more fulfilling life.

Professional & Volunteer Affiliations

I am EMDR trained and IFS Level 1 trained. I enjoy volunteering at a local non profit preschool, whose mission is to support and prepare children and families for success
