I have extensive expertise helping individuals find hope and healing in their struggles with stress, anxiety, addiction, or feeling depressed. I have counseled and coached others in the areas of premarital and marriage counseling, parenting, and child-adolescence therapy. Through a holistic counseling approach I integrate effective insights from psychology, biology, and social sciences. My career in counseling began over 30 years ago, by providing counseling services for individuals, couples, and families. I'm also a retired teacher from FCPS/FCCPS school systems, where I taught IB Psychology and worked with students that had IEPs.
You feel stuck, wishing things would change but unsure of what to change, or how. Nothing you do seems to be enough to make others happy and your efforts feel unseen or unappreciated. Maybe you’re unsure of how you feel or can’t seem to find the right words to describe your emotions to others. This group can help you to learn more about what you need and feel clear about how to share this, understand your relationships better, and explore the messages you have received about "how men should be".

Group meets in Fairfax, VA 22030
We help couples build person-to-person, heart-to-heart, soul-to-soul connections. We all long to be seen, heard, understood, held, and cherished by our precious person. Being in secure connection often conflicts with how life has shaped us. For many of us, relationship experiences have included bumps in the road, needs have been missed, wounds have developed, protections have grown, trust has been broken, limited beliefs have emerged, and parts of us have been hidden away. We help couples explore how life has influenced their interactions and then find lasting ways to heal, connect, repair, meet unmet needs, and build security.

My approach is based in the conviction that we each have unique strengths which help us thrive in adversity. Through therapy, individuals can identify and develop those strengths to build coping, executive function, or interpersonal skills, process difficult life events, and reduce anxiety and depression, I believe that you can make lasting change when you leverage your passions, insights, and life experience. My 17 year career as an English teacher shaped me as a communicator and connector and showed me the power of curiosity and creativity. It is my desire to bring those same attributes from the classroom to the therapy room.

Pause to practice using the emotion regulating techniques that many of us know, but struggle to implement consistently. In group we use breath work, body movement, thoughtful attention, and visualization to improve our ability to: notice, name, and tolerate our emotions, pause and observe our experiences without reacting to them, and stay connected to the present moment. Research has shown that engaging in practices like these can reduce stress and emotional reactivity, lift mood, improve working memory and cognitive flexibility, and increase relationship satisfaction (APA, 2012).
