I specialize in providing counseling for kids, teens, and adults with issues such as OCD, life stressors, trauma, family conflict, depression, and anxiety.
Instead of asking "what's wrong" with someone, my approach is to ask "what happened." Getting to the root of a problem, seeing what’s behind it and what’s contributing to it, is more beneficial in the long term than solely viewing an issue as it presents today. While providing a safe and supportive environment, I work collaboratively with clients to learn ways to manage symptoms more effectively, keep the past from negatively affecting the present, and assist clients in moving forward with clarity and purpose.

I have been a LPC for nearly a decade and have worked with young children, adolescents, and adults.
I think the first thing someone seeking help needs to release is a sense of wrongness - "I let this happen," "I'm no good," "If only I had..." These are all normal, human responses, but they are also hurtful and create a false sense of self. The reason I became a counselor was to help those individuals carrying around guilt and shame. It affects everything - your relationships, your work, everything! I want everyone to thrive and live their fullest life. Being able to see yourself clearly, not for what you've done or did not do, is a powerful healing agent.

I specialize in working with adolescents and adults.
People seek a counselor for a number of reasons. You are likely feeling down and mentally fatigued, overwhelmed, stuck in a rut, scared, or you may be struggling with substances.

Since 2005 I have enjoyed working in outpatient settings, emergency mental health treatment, residential, and community mental health agencies.

I have 12 plus years of experience providing mental health services to adolescents and adults in the school, detention, foster care, college, and community setting.
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! My primary goal as a therapist is to make sure that each session is client-centered. This means that YOU are the main focus of therapy! I aim to ensure that therapy sessions are tailored to meet the needs of each client so that the individual can feel comfortable, supported, heard, accepted, and most of all-ready to grow. I tailor sessions to fit each client by integrating the client’s strengths and interests into sessions (art, writing, crafting, and music). One of my favorite things to integrate into session (when appropriate) is humor! I love to laugh!

I work with adults and adolescents who are struggling with relational hardships. Often these relational barriers are due to faulty thinking patterns developed in early childhood, however, they create difficulties in controlling emotions, thoughts, and behaviors today. I understand there are also spiritual components to emotional and relational problems. Consequently, I will often times utilize the Bible or Christian references to assist with treatment. In conjunction with my strong personal faith, I will also be using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to uncover your unique human development which led to your present state.

Hello! I assume you've come because "life is lifeing". Do you feel overwhelmed with your daily life? Has it become harder to keep 'pushing through'? Maybe you are going through some season changes/life transitions. Or perhaps your past has gotten in the way...thoughts you can't stop thinking? Behaviors which are no longer serving you that you are having a hard time changing...? I want to help you get 'unstuck'. In fact, that's my super power! I believe that new thoughts give way to new behaviors, and new behaviors build new life.

I have worked with many children, adolescents, adults, and families since 2017. Conflict in relationships, issues in communication, adverse patterns of behavior, and many more have been successfully addressed through counseling. Life is a journey that includes a lot of ups and downs. Sometimes all we need is for someone to walk along side us for a time as we face challenges that come along. I would like to equip you with the tools you need to address these. As we work together, my objective is that you gain insight and understanding about your personal struggles and feel confident enough to face them autonomously.

I specialize in working with parents with children, teens, adults who are impacted by fetal alcohol spectrum disorders.
I'm only seeing clients located in Virginia and fully virtual! I often work with parents who are preparing to bring a child into their family through adoption and those who have been a family for a long time who are struggling. Maybe becoming a parent through adoption was not what you expected or you’re struggling as a special needs parent. Maybe you are an adoptee yourself and struggling with things like feeling really guilty or wondering where you fit. My clients want to better understand themselves and their family dynamics to feel more whole and secure.
