Person-Centered Therapists in Keene, VA

I'm passionate about helping individuals, couples and families heal and experience deeper, more meaningful connections. My work as a counselor has spanned over a decade and through a variety of settings including community-based counseling, outpatient level services, residential care, and crisis support. I have particular interest in working with issues related to foster care and culturally-based trauma. I also have many years experience treating mood-disorders in adolescents.

Folks that come to me for support struggle to manage the thoughts and feelings that lead to relapse and mental health crises. My experience tells me that these folks feel disconnected from themselves and their community. Establishing connectivity to their friends, family, and their broader social setting is crucial for wellness and for healing. Everyone has the goal of contentment and peace of mind, and substance abuse more than most challenges undermines the fulfillment of these basic needs. To heal and prosper, substance abusers and trauma survivors need to practice self care in the bio psychosocial-spiritual way of life.

My passion is to work with individuals, one on one and in groups, as well as their support systems, all with the goal of living healthier lives. I feel it's essential to success in counseling to build a consistent, strong support team around my client. I have worked within the community and with various human service organizations, which has provided me invaluable experience helping clients overcome a wide array of challenges.

My focus is building a trusting relationship to support reducing stress and anxiety, rediscovering your inner resilience and joy & healing unresolved pain from the past so that you can live more fully in the present. Through a collaborative process, my goal is to help you to cope with and recover from the unique stressors you face, to heal from unresolved tension or loss, and to experience your world and relationships with joy, fulfillment, and intention. I also provide clinical supervision for post-graduate counselors seeking licensure.

Therapy can be a place to learn and cultivate that. I use an integrative approach to counseling and therapy. This way, I tailor make our treatment to meet your goals.

My specialization lies in assisting adults facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma, relational difficulties, and life transitions.

This approach involves melding my training in various therapeutic techniques with your individual life experiences, relational dynamics, internal dialogue, growth/healing requirements, and personality.

Do you criticize yourself every time you look in the mirror? Rely on unhelpful coping skills, and perhaps feel stuck? As a therapist, I am here to help you develop insight into your behaviors and how they serve you. Together, we can work through “the whys” and help you shift the way you think and act. I strive to create a nonjudgmental, empathetic, and safe space for clients to explore their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions.
