Are you looking for a therapist that is compassionate, warm, uplifting, and supportive? My strength as a counselor is connecting with my clients and helping them access their strengths and resources. I have experience with individuals of all ages from diverse backgrounds. The clients I have worked with have primarily experienced the effects of trauma, grief, and loss. For more than 16 years I have worked with individuals effected by domestic violence, sexual assault, and childhood sexual abuse. I enjoy working with parents who are navigating the challenges of raising children, especially those who have not had positive examples.

I've worked in the field of counseling/social work for over 20 years. I also served as an adjunct professor of social work for over 10 years, so I like to incorporate teachings on mental health issues into sessions (psychoeducation). I'm an author of four books and creator of Date or Mate card game which helps people have conversations to ask the important questions they need to know when forming bonds. Most of my clients are males who are dealing with anxiety, depression, and/or trauma; however, I do work with females as well. I can work with adult individuals residing in Virginia and Washington, DC.

I have been providing counseling services to adolescents and adults for over 30 years. I have extensive training in the treatment of addiction, trauma, PTSD and anxitey and mood disorders. Together we will determine your goals and my treatment approach will be based on where you are in your journey. I am not a therapist who will simply ask you "how do you feel?" I am very active. I can not do the work for you, but together we will explore what has brought you to therapy and I will gently guide you to a path of healing and growth.

I have been in the counseling field for over 30 years! I specialize in trauma therapy and relational issues. I have extensive experience with anxiety and depressive disorders, codependency, and women's issues. I encourage clients to use their strengths to combat sabotaging beliefs & find new ways of coping and grounding. I provide a customized treatment approach for the unique needs of each client. I integrate traditional & current therapy techniques to help clients make lasting, positive changes. My clients report greater confidence, restored relationships, increased emotional support from within, and more happiness.

My primary focus is on helping couples and individuals with sexual issues. In working with couples, I find dissatisfaction with partnered sex is often linked to deeper relationship difficulties and the two can be intertwined. In other instances, the therapeutic focus is primarily on enhancing technique and increasing desire rather than improving the relationship. I also work individually with women to eliminate barriers to sexual wellness and increase acceptance. I enjoy working with gay, lesbian, and heterosexual clients and have respect for sexual fluidity and variance in erotic interest.

Have you ever wondered why you are the way you are? Why you think the way you think, feel the way you feel, and do the things you do? I believe that psychotherapy can help anyone answer all of those questions and truly discover who they are and how they can help themselves. Imagine what your life would look like if you could identify how you are feeling in the moment, where it's coming from, and how to work through it effectively. My goal is to help you better understand who you are, help you identify your strengths, and provide you with the tools you need to help you achieve your goals and live the life you want.

I specialize in trauma informed, outside of the box therapy. I enjoy working with people who find conforming to societal norms a bit challenging. I like to highlight the strengths of such uniqueness, while also giving resources that can help manage every day "normal" life. I prefer a holistic approach that focuses on the mind-body connection. I've had success in reducing anxiety, depression, ADHD and autism symptoms with a combination of diet and behavioral interventions.
