About Me
I am a Culturally competent Psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience working with diverse populations providing treatment using various evidence-based, person-centered treatment modalities. I have completed EMDR Parts 1 & 2, am A Certified Sex Offender Treatment Provider, A licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Provider and am Registered Supervisor with the Board of Virginia to provide supervision for other's seeking licensure and am also able to provide supervision for those seeking certification in the treatment of Substance Abuse (CSAC). I do not believe in stigmatizing or judging people, nor do I believe that people "are" their diagnosis. I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is one of the most important tools of change, so I strive to create a safe space where the client feels free to be their authentic self.
