Everyone could use a little help getting through life. It's unpredictable, ever-changing, and sometimes very difficult. Whether you are experiencing present day relationship issues, grief, depression, or anxiety or you are reliving trauma from years ago, there is help available through a variety of approaches. I have experience with children, adolescents, adults, and couples and enjoy my time with each of them. Email is the best way to contact me.

My ideal client is motivated to improve their quality of life by learning effective coping skills, processing their trauma, and building resilience. They seek therapy to find relief from their distress, gain understanding, and develop the tools they need to navigate their challenges.

The most important aspect of counseling is to establish clear goals that the client and counselor set together. I have worked with many families in the Juvenile Justice Department as well as individual and couples counseling. Life can be overwhelming at times and that is why goals and collaborative contracts within the therapeutic relationship help to sort each issue out individually while working towards the desired outcome. I have treated symptoms of anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder, adjustment disorders, marital conflict, tic disorders, and oppositional defiant disorder as well as conduct disorder.

Waitlist for new clients
Booking Online Clients Only. I work with those whose lives seem to be going pretty well on the outside – but privately, they're hurting. Sometimes the source of the hurt is clearly known, other times it’s waiting to be discovered. Either way, something needs to be addressed in order to thrive, and my clients are willing to do the work to address it. We face tremendous pressure to be the perfect person, parent, and partner, yet we are not explicitly taught how to exist and grow in relationships or juggle the demands of everyday life. I have a special interest in working with women, couples and new parents.

Greetings from Thailand, where my family is posted with the State Dep’t. My hours are in Virginia’s evenings and all throughout the day for those in other countries. I specialize in working with individuals, 18+ in the gov’t-connected and global community; service members, veterans, State Dep’t or other 3-letter agencies most can’t talk about, first responders, missionaries, aid workers, etc., and their families. As a veteran myself, I see your lonely nights, stressful deployments, difficulty adjusting, constantly shifting community, decision fatigue, parental guilt and continual first and second-hand trauma you've endured.

I'm confident that it will become more comfortable as our therapeutic relationship grows over time. My goal in therapy is to create a safe place where we can explore your struggles, and celebrate your strengths.

Starting to explore our own behaviors can be scary. Creating a safe space and trusting relationship where people can deeply explore what is blocking them from enjoying their lives to the fullest is the utmost importance for healing. Every person's path is different and no one heals exactly the same. I work primarily (not limited to) clients who are seeking to work on issues related to trauma, depression, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. I have experience working with first responders, active duty/ veterans, medical professionals, pilots, and attorneys.
