Hi! I'm a Licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Richmond, Virginia. I received my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University and I have over 20 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have been in private practice for the past 6 years supporting those who struggle with anxiety, PTSD, Depression, and unresolved grief. I am passionate about achieving mental wellness and it would be my absolute pleasure to support you on your journey.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we’ll start with introductions and then take a deeper look at specific challenges you’d like to address. This will help us create a plan that is specific to your current needs. We will use this plan to steer future sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked in the field for over 20 years, I’ve learned that healing often occurs in the process of simply being heard with compassion. While my compassion, openness, and warmth promote healing, my ability to be lovingly direct will hold you accountable to making desired changes that will sustain your mental wellness.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I've successfully used this model to support individuals feeling overwhelmed, stuck, powerless, and unable to function or make decisions. This approach has been reported by many to provide significant relief from anxiety, anger, fear and tension in the body caused by stress.
Experiential Therapy
Using art, music, role play, and movement are just a few ways that I've helped people tap into underlying emotions, thoughts, and feelings connected to traumatic pasts and unresolved grief that make it difficult to enjoy their lives. This approach is especially helpful for those who find it difficult to express themselves with words at times. This approach has also proven to be effective with adults who want to tap into a deeper level of radical self-care that helps to calm and reset the nervous system.
Christian Counseling
For those looking for therapeutic support laced with the word of God. I have successfully counseled individuals and couples using a Christian lens to help process and unpack issues such as anxiety, grief and loss, family overwhelm, marital discord, and depression.
