(she/her)
Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Virginia. I received my Masters from Radford University and have been in the mental health field, in various roles, for more than 20 years. I specialize in providing Trauma Focused CBT treatment to my clients and their families. I am able to put myself in my clients' shoes, in order to understand the emotional and psychological impact of trauma without judgment. As a trauma-focused therapist do not rush clients to revisit or process traumatic events until they are ready.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in your counseling journey.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I strive to offer a flexible, empathetic approach tailored to the unique needs of each client. The most important part of the process is building trust, establishing a safe space, and working collaboratively to create meaningful change.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
As a counselor, I am best positioned to provide services to a wide range of individuals who may benefit from various therapeutic approaches. I have worked with individuals who have experienced trauma (e.g., abuse, loss, accidents, or other forms of distressing events). I pride myself in providing a safe, empathetic space to process their experiences, emotional validation, and tools to heal from past wounds.
