Life can be stressful and overwhelming. You've taken the first step, which is the hardest! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in VA with over 25 years experience. I am skilled in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which is the most successful treatment approach for anxiety, depression and other mood disorders. I have a diverse background, including people with trauma, crisis, depression, grief, ADHD, anxiety and relationship issues. I prefer a person centered approach, meaning you are in charge . We go at your speed.
What you can expect from our first session. Rapport building to start and I want to hear your story! I believe in a relationship based on trust and going at your own pace. Clients tell me they feel listened to , like chatting with a close friend, but realized there was growth.
Let's start your journey today. I look forward to working with you.
