I’m a holistic, open-minded provider serving the NRV area in person and via telehealth, and offering telehealth-only services in Harrisonburg. I empower clients to create meaningful change by identifying strengths and building personalized strategies to manage symptoms in ways that work for them. I support adolescents and adults with concerns including C-PTSD, ADHD, women’s issues, stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and relationship challenges, including polyamorous and ethically non-monogamous dynamics.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, working in mental health for the last 9 years. I hold a certification in EMDR and as a clinical trauma professional. I have extensive training in LGBTQIA+ unique needs and ethically non monogamous relationships. I also have extensive experience working with families of all types including foster and adoptive families.
I am here to work alongside you to develop skills, strategies, and education while honoring your unique identity and strengths and support you in implementing these in ways that work best for you. Ready to start your healing journey? I’m here to offer a safe, open and compassionate space for your growth.
