I am a child, teen, and family psychologist and Past-President of the Virginia Academy of Clinical Psychologists, with 30+ years of practice. My background and the core of my work is individual/family therapy from toddler-hood to adult. I have skills and a passion for working with families in a Collaborative Divorce process, a non-litigated process that actually can foster growth in communication and decision-making skills, and I also enjoy providing consultation to coparents following divorce. These ALL build resilience – a core theme in this work!
RESILIENCE is that ability to tolerate challenge and adversity, in whatever form, with strength and purpose. That quality - entailing courage, mindfulness to this moment, and flexibility to deal with unexpected answers and the need to shift gears - may be THE critical challenge, and I am honored to address that with you - whether 2, 19 or 40 years old.
Speaking of RESILIENCE, the challenge of coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic has taken its toll, but we are in this together! I continue to be available to meet with you virtually - via a secure and private Telehealth platform (surprisingly easy to navigate, quite effective, and time-efficient) - and, now, in-person! Please do reach out!

I have pivoted away from indiv. therapy as a primary focus with kids whose parents are or have been divorcing toward helping parents navigate their separation/divorce and coparenting in ways kind to their children. I will help you improve your communication skills and "business relationship" in co-raising your children, and help your children have a voice and skills for this family transition.
