About Me

As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia for over a decade, I strive to help you feel understood, respected and accepted. I consider myself a supportive, compassionate guide towards helping you make lasting positive changes.

.I’ve worked with people who suffer temporary challenges and setbacks who want brief therapy support. I’ve also worked with clients who struggle with significant emotional distress and strive for deep character change and healing of long-standing issues.  

I’ve been in the mental health field for over 18 years in a variety of settings including residential treatment, intensive in-home counseling, public school settings, outpatient therapy, equine-assisted psychotherapy and online telemental health therapy. I have experience providing family and individual therapy to children, adolescents & adults.

I currently provide individual therapy to adults. In our work together, my approach is collaborative and strength-based. I seek to empower you by helping you process your struggles, identify your best solutions to problems and offer education on effective coping strategies and tools, providing you knowledge and skills you can use to address your current challenges. I assist you in identifying and working through any obstacles, beliefs, or patterns that hold you back from experiencing the well-being you desire. 

I practice a combination of cognitive -behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, strengths-based, solution-focused therapy, and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), among other approaches as tailored to your unique needs.

I am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP, Evergreen Certifications) and specialize in treating anxiety.

In my spare time I enjoy oil painting, horseback riding, and spending time in nature.
