As we voyage through life, it is inevitable that we will face the unexpected. Often times, this means taking on challenges beyond our familiarity and traversing obstacles we can conquer with guidance. My experience and proficiency has allowed me to guide individuals toward their overall recovery and wellness in a variety of areas. My expertise involves working with adults who live with chemical addiction (drugs and alcohol), process addiction (gambling, sex, video games etc.), anxiety, depression, parenting/family issues, Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and major life transitions.

Life can be a difficult journey. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over twelve years of experience, I provide counseling to individuals, families, and groups consisting of adolescents, adults, couples, families, and the elderly. Helping clients increase self-empowerment is done with personal growth in self-awareness. I incorporate a creative, positive, supportive, caring approach to assist you with the issues you are encountering, whether it be mental/emotional health, family issues, education or employment stressors. As a Pastoral Counselor, I provide spiritual/religious counseling for someone's faith journey.

I am an LCSW-C therapist who works with adults and couples. Life has a way of presenting people with challenges that may cause you to want to seek counseling to help you navigate your way through life's ups and downs. Sometimes these challenges make us feel stuck and uncertain, whether it be relationship issues, divorce, intimacy, death of a loved one, loss of a job, grief, suicide survivor, identity crisis, family conflict, addiction, processing trauma, sexual orientation, communicating or relating better, building coping skills and resilience, etc., or simply feeling like you are at a crossroads and not sure what to do next.

I practice in VA and DE. Supportive reflection with compassionate listening and understanding are the hallmarks of my practice as I work collaboratively to achieve my client's treatment goals. Attending therapy is a time not only to address immediate concerns but to understand how past experiences impact present behaviors and responses. I enjoy working with young adults, adults, and couples to enhance their relationship with themselves and others. In therapy we will build a therapeutic relationship based on trust and respect. As a clinical supervisor for resident in counseling, I encourage residents to practice with these values.

I bring a wide range of life experiences as well as a significant depth of education in Imago Relationship theory to the couples I counsel. I promote and respect each partner's individual worldview. My hope is that my couples celebrate the differences that each partner brings to their union. I facilitate a dialogue process that can be incorporated into the couple's relationship toolbox. In trusting the process of dialogue, I find that the couple shifts from distance to connection when they learn the "real story" as to why their partner's behavior or reactive energy occurs.

Life has stresses. How we cope, how we manage and how we use them to strive for the next best thing matters. Maybe you are anxious or feeling down. Maybe you and your partner are arguing more or feeling disconnected or maybe you’re beginning to feel the effects of being sandwiched between caregiving for your aging parents and taking care of your own family. It’s all hard. Finding new strategies to manage and getting new knowledge can be transformative. Together we will make a plan that helps you take meaningful action towards a more fulfilling life.

I am passionate and optimistic in my therapeutic approach with couples, families, and individuals (adolescents/adults) who struggle with issues that affect their daily functioning. My goal is to empower clients to understand themselves, to highlight strengths, positive traits, hopeful patterns, and encourage the potential that emerges during the therapeutic process. Life today is stressful under good circumstances but when life throws us off balance we need a safe place to process our thoughts and feelings in order to regain wellness and harmony in our life.

Life can be hard. My goal as a mental health professional is to create a warm, empathetic, and positive environment for clients to cope and heal through the difficult times, while working towards wellness in anticipation of better times to come. Building a strong therapeutic alliance and creating a safe, supportive space for clients of all backgrounds, age groups, and presenting concerns to share is the primary aim of my practice.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience treating addictions, anxiety, obsessive thinking, depression, communication/ relationship issues, and life phase struggles. As a counselor, I am privileged to be able to share in my clients' journeys and to help them overcome difficulties. 20 years of practice have shown me that when faced with overwhelming struggles we must first acknowledge their existence, and only then can we reach for the help necessary to find achievable solutions. In the safety of a grounded, knowledgeable, and insight-oriented counseling experience I believe this is possible.

Ambitious women: Navigating ambitious careers or life transitions when societal demands on women remain pervasive can result in anxiety, depression, unmanageable stress and sometimes even post-traumatic stress.

Deciding it's time to come to therapy can feel overwhelming & finding the "right fit" can feel like decision overload. I offer warmth, compassion, and non-judgmental kindness from the first consultation call to the moment you decide you're ready for our time together to end. My practice is focused on supporting teens & adults in cultivating resilience, peace, joy & connection in a busy world. I offer a space to get curious about understanding & addressing anxiety, depression, and trauma. Interrupting cycles of using perfectionism, overwork, disordered eating or substances to hide, numb or cope is not something you need to do alone.

I believe that for every person is unique and treatment solutions should be tailored to meet these individual needs.I stress creating a comfortable-judgement free environment to maximize trust and comfort in the therapeutic relationship. Within the safety of a trusting and respectful therapeutic relationship lies the power to overcome the most seemingly overwhelming obstacles.

Every person has their own path to take, and if you are ready to start your journey, I would be honored to take it with you. I specialize in working with individuals and couples.
