I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Washington, D.C., and I’m so excited to support you on your journey!
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA, and have had the privilege of working with a wide range of people, including children, teens, adults, and older adults, across different settings. Before joining BetterHelp, I focused on supporting vulnerable communities, including children with learning differences or on the Autism Spectrum and individuals living with chronic medical conditions, serving as both a social service provider and advocate in the D.C. area.
I take a whole-person, client-centered approach to therapy. I believe that everyone is unique, and therapy should fit you—your experiences, strengths, and goals. My goal is to create a warm, safe space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, build on the skills you already have, and discover new ways to thrive.
I love working with clients on challenges like anxiety, stress, life transitions, and educational or personal growth concerns. I use tools like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing (MI), and mindfulness, and I’m always excited to adapt and learn new ways to help you succeed.
I look forward to connecting with you soon!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
