Hi! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in Virginia. I received my Masters from South University of Florida and have been practicing for 10 years. I would love to assist you in your journey to wellness. I have experience working with individuals struggling with chronic pain, using CBT to address cognitive factors contributing to pain perception. I strive to be inclusive and sensitive to the needs of LGBTQ+ individuals.

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, and 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.

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

I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with those who often feel stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious. I am best positioned to work with clients with anxiety, substance abuse, depression, couples, and family issues. My clients are eager to improve, however, don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality.
