“Trauma brings emotional darkness and aloneness because it feels like no one cares and no one could possibly understand. When we are heard by someone who seeks to understand and feel with us, we are no longer isolated and alone in our suffering”

Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Founder of Golden Wellness LLC
Hi, I am so glad you are here! I’m the Founder of Golden Wellness LLC and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in DC, Maryland, Virginia, Georgia and registered as an Out-of-State Telehealth Provider in Florida. I hold a Bachelor of Science and Psychology in Crisis Counseling from Liberty University and a Master of Social Work from the Catholic University of America. With nearly six years of experience, I’ve supported children, families, adults and school communities as a school-based therapist, mobile case manager, clinical supervisor, and mental health advocate.
At Golden Wellness LLC, I aim to provide a safe, trauma-sensitive space where clients and communities can explore and address issues like anxiety, depression, grief + loss, trauma, and religious or attachment trauma. I’m especially passionate about helping faith communities adopt trauma-informed practices, effective soul care, and engage in abuse prevention and recovery.
Rooted in Christian values and garnering strength from mental health experts (e.g., Dr. Diane Langberg, Dr. Dan Allender, Dr. Daniel Siegel, Dr. Daniel Amen, Nedra Glover Tawwab, and Dr. Bessel van Der Kolk), my holistic, client-centered, and evidence-based approach focuses on healing through connection. I endeavor to uplift all aspects of a client’s life — relational, emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical using scientific skills for success. Just as gold is refined to shine with brilliance, I view the journey to wellness as a process of discovery, growth, and transformation. Therapy can be challenging, but let’s lean into the discomfort together and collaborate over cultivating for you and/or your community a golden state of well-being — where self-compassion, safety, resilience, and peace can flourish. In doing so, we’ll uncover your strengths and help you move from surviving to shining.
