Meet Your Therapist
Licensed, compassionate, and deeply committed to your growth.
A therapist who believes
in the power of the journey.
Welcome. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Virginia with a deep passion for helping adults find their footing — whether they're navigating the weight of past trauma, the complexity of addiction and recovery, or simply seeking to understand themselves more clearly.
My work is rooted in the belief that healing isn't a destination but a journey — and every person's path looks different. I bring curiosity, warmth, and evidence-based practice to every session, meeting you exactly where you are without judgment.
Before opening Justful Journeys, I worked in residential substance use disorder treatment, where I served as both a clinician and program leader. That experience shaped my understanding of how deeply interconnected our emotional, relational, and behavioral patterns are — and how powerful the right therapeutic relationship can be in untangling them.
I hold specialized training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for trauma and utilize motivational interviewing, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral approaches, and a strengths-based lens in my practice.
Through Justful Journeys, I offer 100% telehealth services to adults across Virginia — so you can access quality care from wherever you feel most comfortable.
How I Work
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence — but always guided by you.
Evidence-Based
I draw from EMDR, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused CBT, and other research-backed modalities — choosing the right tools for your specific goals.
Person-Centered
You are the expert on your own life. I act as a guide and collaborator, not a prescriber. Sessions are shaped around your pace, your needs, and your goals.
Trauma-Informed
All my work is grounded in an understanding of how trauma shapes our minds and bodies. Safety, trust, and empowerment are central to everything I do.
Culturally Aware
I recognize that identity, culture, and lived experience are inseparable from mental health. I strive to be a culturally humble and inclusive practitioner.
You deserve support that
actually fits your life.
