People come to therapy with strengths and skills that have helped them to survive up until meeting me, and I find that it is often better to work with existing tools rather than tearing down entire foundations. As a clinician, I can help you to decide what stays, what goes, what skills should be emphasized, and what skills should be learned. I have supported others to solve relationship problems, establish effective coping systems, with adjusting to difficult life experiences and spaces. We are both experts in the room and I will use my understandings of integrative practices to help build the dream that you imagine for yourself.

Wellness has been defined as a way of life oriented toward optimal health and well-being in which body, mind, and spirit are integrated to live more fully within the human and natural community. Ideally, it is the optimum state of health and well-being that each individual is capable of achieving. When working together in counseling, I perceive one’s thoughts are related to their feelings and reactions to events, not the events themselves. Counseling sessions are individualized to meet the unique needs of each client.

Navigating the unexpected twists of life, you find yourself in a moment that defies expectation. Whether in the throes of transition, navigating adulthood, changing professional paths, or grappling with relationships, you're in a space of uncertainty, seeking your place in the world. Perhaps, despite having all you need, a lingering emptiness persists, prompting endless scrolling and relentless pursuit of connection or material solace.

Sometimes, life simply doesn't make sense, leaving us anxious, stressed, depressed or behaving in ways that don't make sense. At times we may feel stuck.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and earned a master’s degree in counseling from Virginia Commonwealth University. I view therapy as walking together along two paths. One focused on gaining awareness and understanding of self, and the other focused on learning skills to manage thoughts and emotions and improve relationships. This therapeutic relationship is based on mutual trust, respect, and open feedback in both directions. I use an emotion focused approach rooted in attachment theory along with CBT and ACT models to help individuals and couples create change within themselves and their lives.

Since youth, I wondered about human behavior and why people do what they do. To explore this interest further I took a class in comparative behavior and loved it. Since then I looked for opportunities to learn more about people, their actions, and their feelings while trying to find ways to help them improve their lives and feel better. I am lucky enough to be trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I used this advanced therapy process in California at the Anne Sippi Clinics in the service of those suffering severe adult psychopathology (mental health issues) early on in his career.

GHDC practices from the belief that everyone can succeed if given the resources to do so, and we know that everyone has a purpose to discover. A therapist’s duty is to empower.
