My clients may feel that they have been unable to comfortably make decisions in their lives or have made poor decisions. They may not have been able to identify or achieve their goals, leaving them feel unfulfilled. Often, they want to initiate change but have uncertainty about their ability to do so or the steps in that process. They seek to establish and achieve goals that will bring fulfillment, enjoyment, material comfort and success in their lives. My clients seek lives in which they are self-confident and motivated. Through the coaching relationship, they determined what was important to them, then pursued and achieved it.

I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span from therapy for depression and grief counseling to parenting support, couples counseling and beyond. In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each of my clients individual needs to help attain the personal growth they're striving for.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for working with adolescents, experiences of trauma and addressing family concerns. I view therapy as a collaborative and exploratory process to find a deeper meaning of self, develop awareness, and enhance strengths. I obtained my BSW at James Madison University in 2008 and my MSW at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2009. I have been licensed since 2015. I have a background in Community Based Mental Health services for both children and adults since 2009.

When individuals, couples, or families reach out to get help in order to face life's challenges, or to find meaning in their lives--I know that the healing journey has begun. I respect and admire the courage that it takes to make that first call and to admit to another human being that one is hurting and needs help. Or, maybe, to admit that one just needs to get another perspective on a difficult problem. As a therapist, I am committed to all who embark on the therapeutic journey of healing.

******EFFECTIVE SEPTEMBER 2020: I’m working from a 3-month waiting list*****It takes strength to admit our need for help. It is my privilege to be a collaborator with you on this journey. While treatment is unique for each client, I tailor my approach to your individual needs and background. My sessions integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and motivational enhancement techniques to facilitate necessary changes. I desire to offer a safe place that allows you to feel accepted, safe, and supported.

It takes courage and vulnerability to reach out for help, but the potential gain is worth every step. You will experience a safe and secure environment as we work together to achieve your goals. One of my greatest joys is to help you be your best self.

When thinking about emotional growth, I find it helpful to contrast it with our physical growth. Developing into our full-grown physical selves is a fairly automatic process based upon our genetics. Our emotional growth, however, requires guidance and nurturing from others, typically our caregivers, as we progress from childhood into adulthood. For many of us this process is short circuited, and we can find ourselves navigating a world of relationships and uncertainty without the emotional intelligence needed to recognize and understand our emotions, and to respond to those emotions in healthy and productive ways.

Are worries, insecurities, or sadness affecting your quality of life? Are you wanting relief from these stressors and to increase happiness in your own life? I like to help clients discover the negative messages/beliefs that they have about themselves and the world that they, often unknowingly, have been carrying around with them. Examining these messages, discerning what is true and helpful and what is not, is freeing. A major goal of therapy is to have your positive sense of self well up from within.
