Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the states of Alabama, Virginia, Georgia, the District of Columbia, and Maryland. My experience includes clinical social work, risk management, regulatory compliance, quality assurance, case management, crisis intervention, advocacy, brokerage, education, and facilitation working with diverse groups of children, adolescents, and adults in medical social work, child welfare, mental health/chemical dependency, corrections, HIV/AIDS, and Veteran Affairs. While working with these clients, I have acquired necessary clinical skills relevant to culturally diverse practice and effective outcomes. I am a well-organized, highly motivated, and an energetic team player dedicated to meeting my clients where they are through both micro and macro level social work interventions.
Working in Mental Health for over 12 years, I’ve learned that people are literally trying to put the pieces of their life together just to make it through the day. Being sensitive to this, I’ve developed my practice model around the following quote, “We’re only as strong as our weakest link; therefore do your best to strengthen someone today!” My goal every day is to strengthen someone (self-included) in some area. Let’s Live in Purpose so we can Win on Purpose!

Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions for most typical issues.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that feels most comfortable, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and reach support from different locations.
Each therapist is a licensed professional, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they would prefer a different fit. The combination of clinical expertise and flexible communication methods makes online therapy a practical choice for many people seeking support.
