I work with individuals, couples and families dealing with a variety of conditions. Whether there is one person or more in my office, my therapeutic philosophy is the same. This is because I believe that the quality of our relationships has a direct impact on the overall quality of our lives. For individuals, this means taking ownership of your own personal actions, values and personal growth. I help couples to learn how to improve their communication skills, develop tools to enhance their relationship, create better boundaries, and identify positive ways to respond to their spouse amid conflict and differences in perspective.

I work with children (5+), adolescents (families) and adults. Children often exhibit behaviors such as outbursts, meltdowns or withdrawal that indicate their cry for help. Pre-teens, teens and adults will often exhibit signs of depression and anxiety or even physical symptoms such as stomach aches, headaches, sleep disturbances or other health concerns that are often a sign of their internal struggles. No matter the age I believe all can benefit from mental health services. I believe strongly in the mind-body connection and use this belief to guide the therapeutic process to meet your unique needs.

I am a licensed professional counselor in Virginia with 12 years of professional work experience. When I work with clients, listening to understand instead of hearing to respond is a priority. I believe it is imperative that I develop a sound understanding of my client's subjective worldview to meet them where they are and disrupt maladaptive thoughts and patterns of behavior. My objective is to collaborate with my clients in order to help them identify, address, and resolve matters that reinforce and/or contribute to their presenting concern(s).

Providing a client-centered approach coupled with cognitive restructuring techniques enables my clients the skills to change their negative thinking patterns. So often, these negative automatic thoughts negatively influence one's sense of stability, confidence, and self-esteem. Together we will develop positive coping skills to increase your problem-solving skills. I believe in the power of mindfulness skills to address negative thinking and improve a sense of wellness, Being in the moment is easier than it sounds, we all are distracted by our thoughts, and learning to quiet the mind is a powerful tool.
