At the end of the day, you the client are the one living your life & dealing with your choices, consequences, & actions. It is my job as the therapist to provide you a safe, supportive, & non-judgmental space to explore your life, inner parts, & what makes sense for you.

I understand that it takes courage to ask for help and find a therapist you can trust and feel connected to, especially when life is challenging, difficult, disappointing, and painful. I am easy to talk to, non-judgmental, respectful, and down to earth. I work in an empathic way that creates a caring confidential space for you to feel safe, heard, supported, and understood when you are experiencing PTSD (from serving in the military, natural disasters, personal trauma, or sexual abuse), relationship problems, divorce, depression, anxiety, self-harming behaviors, career and life transitions, acculturation, illness, and bereavement.

I have significant experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I use a strength based perspective believing that each one of us have inherent strengths that can help us manage life. My framework is based on trauma and attachment approaches which emphasize that the stress an individual experiences is usually rooted in a traumatic event that has formed negative beliefs, dysruption of lifestyle, change in family system, or that has helped to develop a less than satisfying parent child relationship. My ideal client is an individual that wants to have a happier life or a family or couple that wants more peace.

I grew up in an Army family, I learned, early on, how to quickly adapt to change, and about resilience. All of my work with children, and their families, has caused me to marvel at their ability to adapt, grow, change, learn and heal. I work one-on-one with children, as well as with their families, utilizing play, and art therapies. I use a Cognitive Behavioral approach, among a variety of other therapy techniques, and always work from a strengths-based perspective. I work with all adults, who are motivated to improve their current situation by making needed changes, resolving issues, and re-imagining their lives.

I have worked in the Fredericksburg/Stafford community for the past 22 years. I enjoy working with adolescent and adults. My area of interest has always been trauma, self-awareness, mindfulness, and dissociative disorders. The approach and style that I utilize is tailored to each individual I work with. Currently we are only taking referrals for psychological testing, custody evaluations and parental capacity evaluations.

Communication can be difficult for kids with Autism; they find it much harder to have conversations and relate with other people. Some children with the disorder have difficulties in developing, understanding, or using spoken language, while some have no verbal language at all. Some have a hard time with eye contact, while others can’t understand the importance of the exchange of facial expressions and gestures. That’s not to say kids on the Autism don’t communicate at all – they certainly do. But they have their own way of doing it, like using words in unconventional ways.

I operate primarily from a Systems and Cognitive Behavioral perspective and acknowledge trying to balance work, family, and social lives, the individual self, the past and present, and all the events that occur within and between those spheres can lead us to a state of overwhelm and stress overload that we are sometimes not equipped to manage.

Everyone comes to therapy for different reasons, and I feel each client I see is the expert on themselves. I seek to first listen to what brings them in before we plan together how to proceed. Everyone’s path is individual to them. I believe I provide an environment that is safe and compassionate to help you on your journey.
