As a board-certified LPC with over 25 years of experience, I understand how important it is to find someone you like and feel safe with. My specialties include men's and women’s issues, trauma, PTSD, life transitions, relationship and marriage challenges, grief, and depression. I use a program I developed for working with couples, getting to the issues quickly and helping them learn to communicate to resolve patterns of interacting that are hindering their relationship.
I practice cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, solutions focused, and strengths based approaches.
I completed my education at the University of Pennsylvania and Virginia Tech. I'm also the founder of Verathy, a mental health counseling practice in McLean, Virginia. If you have questions please reach out. I typically respond to new client inquiries within 24 hours.
