Hello! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia and have been providing therapy support since 2014. I help people recognize their strengths to improve their mental wellbeing and find solutions to life’s challenges. I also work with adults with a history of childhood trauma or have had traumatic experiences-to find a way towards peace and resilience for the future.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our initial session, we will get to know each other and discuss your expectations of our work together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
With other 14 years of experience, I know that all clients and challenges are unique to each person and the therapy experience should be as well.
