About Me
I am an experienced Psychotherapist and a board certified Clinical Supervisor in the Commonwealth of Virginia. My focus is on individuals with a trauma history, simple and complex. I also have a particular interest in Nutrition for Mental Health. Most of all, I love mentoring social workers pursuing their clinical license. When I am not working, you can find me dancing in the living room with my two children or enjoying her husband’s culinary creations.
Education & Experience
I received my Master’s in Social Work (MSW) from Tulane University with a concentration in Disaster Mental Health. I have extensive experience working with chronic medical conditions to include Traumatic Brain Injury, HIV, and Sickle Cell Disease. I love using EMDR and mindfulness based approaches to treat PTSD, depression, anxiety, etc.
