No one is immune to the ups and downs of daily living. Marital strife, parental conflicts, work related anxiety, everyone experiences stress, anxiety and sadness at some point. How you process the stress and anxiety and move through the situation is what makes all the difference.

As an experienced therapist, I have dealt with a broad range of mental health issues. I work with a network of physicians, mental health providers, and spiritual advisors to provide the best care for my clients. I aim to guide clients in asking the right questions and finding answers that lead to positive and progressive outcomes in the therapeutic process. While my primary focus is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I employ other techniques as needed to help my clients achieve the change they desire.

You may be reluctant to contact a therapist believing you should be able to solve life's problems without help. That is not necessary!! All of us, with complicated and stressful lives can have struggles. Therapy can help you learn the skills you have not had a chance to develop. Psychotherapy can help when sadness or anxiey is interfering with your happiness and can help identify the obstacles that interfere with you reaching your goals. Additionally, your marriage and family relationships can improve greatly with therapy by helping you develop better communication skills and understand the underlying issues.

Everyone experiences the usual ups & downs that life throws at you. Sometimes, these moments in our lives become more than we can handle alone. Do you find yourself overwhelmed and not knowing when it's okay to ask for help? It’s not easy, but it can be the first step toward healthier functioning, improved relationships, & personal growth. Together, in a safe & supportive environment, we can uncover destructive patterns, identify strengths, & develop healthier ways of coping. Let me help guide you on your journey to find peace, strength, healing, & to become the best version of yourself.

My approach to therapy is one of commitment and collaboration. By building a collaborative relationship with clients through genuine acceptance, empathy, and support, the foundation for change is established. It is my goal to help clients live more authentic lives by finding balance, resolving conflicts, and finding courage to take personal risks!

The positive benefits of a therapeutic relationship include self-understanding and self-acceptance, emotional balance, resolution of past hurts, freedom from guilt and shame, empathy, healthy dependency, contentment, a sense of wholeness, and empowerment to give and receive love deeply. I have the training and experience to help people achieve these benefits and in the process overcome roadblocks like depression or anxiety​, negative self-talk, grief and loss, destructive relationship patterns, marital distress, sexual struggles, and various types of trauma.

I am a Christian therapist trained in many techniques, interventions, and approaches (i.e., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems, Humanistic); however, my focus is on working with my clients to meet their need for counseling. I believe counseling is the most effective way to gain insight into how our past is directing our present and future choices. We live in a world embraced intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships that have shaped and influenced our perception of ourselves and insightful counseling helps us ascertain what is important to us. I will work with clients, who prefer to incorporate their Christian beliefs into their counseling session.

I am a firm believer that at any given moment you have the power to decide how you want your story to end. As your therapist, it is my job to support you and guide you on your path of healing. I believe in authenticity, transparency, and respect and I welcome you into the therapy room with me where you will experience a safe place to process your feelings and make sense whatever it is that you are going through. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and clinical supervisor offering a fully virtual therapy experience.

It’s truly incredible when a person sees that there’s something inside them that they want to work on, and then they go after that. It’s incredible that you’re here, that you’re searching. The people who want to be the best version of themselves, who want to break “generational traumas” and work on their mental health so that they can pass down health, wholeness, peace, and light to the next generation - those are the superheroes. Our mental health is our foundation for how we relate to ourselves and world around us after all - Our God, ourselves, and others.

Are you looking for counseling, psychotherapy? Are you or your child struggling with problems? Through individual and/or family counseling, you can develop ways to address problems. Psychological testing may be used to more deeply understand your challenges. Assisting you at the highest level, my knowledge and skills are kept current. I've been a licensed psychologist for over 28 years. I assist children and teenagers, adults, couples and families. Prior to private practice, I obtained extensive inpatient experience in a psychiatric prison, an inpatient adolescent facility and the University of Virginia Health Sciences Center .

"Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of fear." ~ [George Addair] It's easy to continue doing what you've always done, but seeking help during a challenging time takes courage.

My office may remind you of your living room and your experience will be judgement free.

Are you overwhelmed, anxious, sad or feel like you're not sure how to navigate a new territory of your life? Do you need help in setting healthy boundaries or coping with stress, anxiety?

My goal is to provide support and insight to help you identify your own strengths and get your life back on track with appropriate coping strategies and perhaps new boundaries.

Welcome! Great to see you here. I enjoy working with adolescents, teens, and young adults experiencing a variety of concerns such as eating disorders, body image and self-esteem issues, trauma, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and family issues.

I strive to help you feel confident that you're moving in the right direction.

Seeking counseling is a brave decision that could be the first step towards living a happier, more fulfilling life. I work with couples who are dissatisfied with the quality of their relationship due to issues such as unresolvable conflicts, infidelity, complicated family dynamics, incompatibility, substance use, etc. I also see high school/ college students or young adults (Gen-Z and millennials) experiencing difficult life transitions, relationship issues, loneliness, issues of faith or spirituality, complicated family dynamics, etc. Whatever brings you here, I hope you find the hope and healing your soul desires.

My therapeutic style is empathetic, energetic, relatable, approachable, and passionate. I know therapy can be scary, so I try to create a safe and positive environment. Clients will feel that I’m truly in their corner while not shying away from pointing out blind spots to aid in their growth. My ideal patient is someone who truly wants to break cycles, heal, and do the work to feel better holistically.

Despite your best efforts, things just aren’t going how you hoped. Life changes can make you feel like there’s a crack in the foundation that’s hard to find and repair. It’s frustrating, confusing, discouraging. The longer it goes on, the less confident you feel in your life and your relationships. You’re not alone, and it’s not too late. Chances are that a little help at the right time might be just what makes the life you’re building feel more like the home you hoped for.

Do you long for increased understanding, improved communication, and deeper connection with your partner? Are you arguing more and enjoying each other less? Is the romance gone? Are you concerned about your child's mood or behavior? Does he/she seem anxious or depressed? Are you worried that you may repeat destructive patterns from your childhood? Would you like to improve communication with your child? Or, are you interested in working through your own individual unresolved issues or situational problems? Would you like to learn healthier coping skills, let go of self-defeating patterns, and move toward your full potential?

Are you worried about your teen? Feel like you have tried everything to help your teen and it seems like nothing has worked? There are many reasons why your teen may be irritable, isolate, have poor grades in school, or seem to enjoy breaking rules. For over 20 years I have worked with adolescents and their families on learning to communicate more effectively and gain a sense of control over their lives. I have a strong background in working with adolescents and adults with drug and alcohol issues.
