LPC, 6 years of experience
I am an LPC in Virginia specializing in individual, group, and communities to improve mental health outcomes. My approach is honest and open-minded focusing on providing insight into the problems in your life, finding practical solutions, and implementing long-term change for healing and better relationships. Throughout our journey together, I will provide you with a listening ear, guidance, and practical solutions to improve your mental health and well-being. You can expect to gain insight into gaps in your thinking, and coping mechanisms, and in turn, improve your overall quality of life.
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 follow-up sessions.
I am specialized in Substance Use Disorders, Anxiety, Depression, Grief and Bipolar disorders. Further experience includes Compassion Fatigue, PTSD and Trauma.
I am well rounded with all stages of life; however, I am well educated on addiction, PTSD, anxiety and ADHD. I have served in law-enforcement and work with Active/Retired Military.
I have been practicing this method to assist with challenging and changing cognitive distortions, increase healthy communication and work on challenging negative perceptions.
