About me

I can only see folks who are in Virginia. Also, I cannot see folks who have need more intensive therapy. As a licensed therapist since 1995, I bring nearly three decades of diverse counseling experience to my practice. My professional journey includes: • 14 years in private practice • 17 years in emergency mental health services • 7 years in college counseling • 4 years at a women’s resource center • 5 years with a family service agency I integrate evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness practices, breath work, and anxiety reduction techniques. My particular expertise lies in addressing codependency and helping clients navigate dysfunctional family dynamics. I welcome you to email me for more information about my services or to schedule a consultation.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our initial meeting serves as an opportunity for us to connect and establish the foundation for our therapeutic relationship. During this session, we will: • Take time to get acquainted and discuss what brings you to counseling • Address the practical aspects of therapy, including developing an appropriate diagnosis and treatment plan • Establish a collaborative framework where both our expectations are clearly understood and aligned

The treatment methods and tools I utilize

I think a client-centered approach works very well in most cases. This form of therapy is based on Rogerian principles which states that the client is best able to decide what to explore and how. I encourage clients to take a wholistic approach to their healing. I can be directive when need be also.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strength is my ability to form genuine connections with clients from our very first interaction. This rapport, combined with my skill at quickly identifying core issues, allows me to develop effective treatment plans tailored to each individual's needs. With years of experience, I've gained deep insights into the many challenges people face. Rather than applying temporary solutions, I'm committed to addressing the root causes of distress, providing lasting relief and genuine healing for my clients.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds, with particular experience supporting: • Women navigating gender-specific challenges and life transitions • Individuals experiencing grief and processing loss • Those struggling with codependency in relationships • Clients working to build self-esteem and develop confidence • People managing mild to moderate depression • Individuals coping with anxiety and seeking effective management strategies My approach is compassionate, tailored to your unique circumstances, and focused on cultivating lasting positive change.
