Life can be hard. I am here to assist you or your child virtually or in person by exploring underlying reasons for the issues and emotions you are dealing with and finding solutions. Together we can problem solve and process trauma, relationship difficulties, work stress, work/home/life balance, parenting issues, and any other things that are causing stress and imbalance in your life. I work with adults and teens and provide a non-judgmental, empathetic, and compassionate space to improve your life. We can work together to address trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, adjustment challenges, ADHD, mood fluctuations, and anger issues.
I specialize in treating trauma and PTSD, am IFS informed and am adept at helping to manage anxiety. I have worked with many people over the years to help them achieve their goals and improve their lives. I have extensive experience as a school social worker, an in-home therapist, a VCU adjunct professor, and TDT behavioral specialist. I am LGBTQ+ affirming.
I am here to meet you where you are in your journey to healing and feeling better. Please contact me to set up an appointment so that we can begin your journey of improving your life together. I know it is scary to begin and you may have been putting this off for some time, but there is strength in reaching out for help and I am here to support you.
