Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Virginia. I received my Masters from the University of Virginia and have been practicing for 28 years. I specialize in self esteem/self-worth, anxiety, depression, trauma and it's effects on your current life, navigating relationships, helping families through adoptions, and the impacts of a loved one's addictions. My therapeutic style combines cognitive-behavioral , solution focused, understanding attachment styles, and internal family systems therapy.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In your first session, we will explore what brought you to therapy, begin rapport building for a trusting therapy relationship. Feeling comfortable is key for your growth and we will only go at your pace. I want to hear your story!

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths lie in my extensive experience and training, particularly in attachment and trauma therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, and solution focused therapy. Equipped with evidence-based anxiety-reduction techniques, my practice offers a holistic approach that integrates a Christian perspective. Clients benefit from my strength-based methodology, finding comfort in my relaxed, welcoming, and non-judgmental demeanor. My interactive style fosters a safe space for growth and healing.
