Do you feel that living in this world can sometimes feel overwhelming, confusing, and challenging? I believe that even the strongest people need support and guidance to navigate life's ups and downs. You are the expert in your life and I am here to support you. I work with you (and/or your loved ones) to identify goals and map paths for improvement so that you can move forward. My approach is unique and collaborative, blending elements from different techniques and tailoring treatment according to each individual. Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or you are looking to restart services, I am so glad that you are here.

I work with adolescents, adults, and families. My style is straightforward and collaborative. I am always willing to do short-term, results-oriented work, but I relish as well the opportunity to do longer-term work, which allows for the working-through of old hurts and for the gradual discovery of new ways to relate to ourselves, others, and our lives. At its best, therapy is a creative and richly rewarding endeavor. Clients over the years have reported that they find in me warmth, pragmatism, a keen mind, and a willingness to laugh and to be human.

I specialize in helping clients cultivate coping skills and gain insight into issues to improve relationships, functioning and quality of life. I obtained my Master's Degree at Virginia Commonwealth University and have twenty years experience working in various mental health settings, including Loudoun County Mental Health (CSB), INOVA Health System and outpatient practice. Drawing on experience from individuals with serious mental illness, to those needing guidance, education and support for a wide variety of everyday issues, I tailor my clinical expertise to meet my clients where they are at to support recovery and meet goals.

Sometimes it is easy to get a bit off kilter and be in need of added support due to depression, anxiety or related problems. Having a baby isn't what you thought it would be? Trying to juggle work and a family? Your child or teenager is having difficulty in school and you've tried everything? My philosophy is to gain understanding of the client's perspective and then develop a plan for progressing toward the client's goals using mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral techniques, understanding of the client's relationships and family therapy.

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.

I am devoted to offering my clients an emotionally warm and comfortable place where they feel really listened to and not judged. Working with people of all ages, I empathize with each individual to offer hope, knowing that life is challenging. I provide professional counseling services to children, adults, families and couples in the Northern Virginia area to help them find solutions and growth in their lives.

The transition to motherhood can feel utterly indescribable. Let me help you acknowledge the layers, stop comparing yourself to others, and give yourself some grace. Being a child or teen can be tough with the demands of today's fast paced world. I empower children to explore their experiences, thoughts, and feelings in their own way. I offer teens the autonomy and confidentiality to confront their personal challenges. For young adults, I give them the space to feel heard and supported while working to address personal, social, relational, or emotional difficulties as they navigate the new responsibilities of adulthood.

My ideal client is one who is willing to explore more effective strategies for navigating their challenges. I would enjoy working with someone curious about improving the quality of their life and motivated to explore change. I believe anyone can fearlessly divorce behaviors that compromise a healthy lifestyle. Through client-centered care, I seek to help my clients develop their definition of success and begin working toward it by building confidence and generalizing skill use. My hope is to empower those I serve to examine their truths from different perspectives and to challenge their own perceptions.

We all need support, validation, and empathy in the midst of conflict and everyday struggles.

We are not meant to navigate life’s tumultuous ups and downs alone. I commend you for exploring what is out there in terms of getting the support you deserve. Here in the therapy room, I offer a safe and non-judgmental space for you to unpack what is bothering you or keeping you from a more fulfilling life so we can explore, together, what freeing that space might look like for you. I encourage curiosity and non-judgement so that we may get to know how these aspects of you came to develop and work to create change that compliments who you are today and where you envision heading. Whether it is a recent life transition,

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Registered Play Therapist, National Certified Counselor, and National Certified School Counselor, I provide mental health services for children, adolescents, adults, and families. My focus is helping clients who are struggling with parenting, anxiety, adjustment disorders, relationship issues, school adjustment, trauma, and issues involving separation and divorce.

I have clinical experience across a wide variety of clinical settings. My primary areas of interest and training include assessment and support of individuals with neurodiversity including autism and ADHD, and treatment of trauma, mood disorders, and anxiety disorders. I utilize a bio-psycho-social approach with individuals, integrating modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, exposure therapy, relaxation, breathwork, and yoga therapy practices. I am also a member of PsyPact and can practice virtually from Virginia in participating states.

Since 2010, I have been in private practice helping women and adolescents work through anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, relationship issues, trauma, chronic health issues, everyday stressors and adjustments to life’s everchanging dynamics and stressors. I am trained in EMDR therapy through EMDRIA and can provide this effectively via telehealth. Together, with the client, we work as a team to achieve their desired goals.

I believe that it is a privilege to work with people who are in distress. Attentive listening, empathic response, and sound feedback can help individuals of all ages get through difficult life events, often becoming stronger through the process. Lives in transition, despite pain and disruption, can be lives that are transforming to become sounder, more flexible, and less bound by former roadblocks and repetitive missteps. I strive to understand my clients in the context of all that is going on in their lives, not defined by diagnostic category only.

You’re exhausted and overwhelmed by daily life. You love your family, but it’s so hard to enjoy them when you feel this way. You want to learn how to take care of yourself, so that you have the energy and space to be the type of parent, partner, friend, and person that you know you could be. It seems like it’s always just out of reach, and if you just pushed a little harder or finally got organized, you’d finally have a handle on it all. Maybe you can't even put your finger on anything that's wrong, but you just feel like things could feel better. Is this just normal? Would counseling even help? (Spoiler alert: yes and yes)

I work with adolescent and adult clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, personality disorders, trauma and adjustment disorders, ADHD, neurodevelopmental disorders, eating disorders, and suicidality. The clients I work with primarily want a therapeutic approach that consists of evidence-based modalities mixed with empathy, compassion, nonjudgmental stance, authenticity, and being person-centered. Whether their goal is to have a space to process and work through trauma, vent and find ways to cope with and navigate life stressors, or have someone to talk to, I do my best to meet my clients where they're at.
