Managed by Rula Health. Your call or email may go to a representative.
I began helping others in 1990 as a Peer Counselor (Drug Exemption NCO) while on active duty in the Marine Corps. After earning degrees in Psychology and Social Work at UNCW/ECU, I obtained licensure to practice independently with the Virginia Board of Health Professionals in 2004. I am originally from the Hampton Roads area but have worked internationally with people from many different backgrounds. I have continued to support the military, as well as the community at large, for over 3 decades with evidence-based treatments for trauma (PTSD).
I have training and experience in treating PTSD with effective modalities such as CPT, PET, and EMDR. I am formally trained to work with all ages, including non-directed play therapy for young children. Whether through individual, couple, or family therapy, I love bringing others to the best version of themselves.
I use a holistic lens to offer practical techniques such as yoga, acupressure, and breathing techniques to alleviate symptoms. I have a depth of experience in successfully treating most issues people experience with compassion and positivity for the future.
