Are you feeling anxious, depressed? Struggling with substance use? In a relationship that seems to be lacking in empathy and/or successful communication? Suffering from a combination of emotional and physical problems? I have 40 years of experience as a clinical social worker, including 20 years in private practice. I am licensed in Virginia in clinical social work and substance abuse treatment.

I will assist you in a caring and professional manner to find realistic answers and solutions that make sense to you in your life, and allow you to more effectively manage each day. I bring over 20 years of experience working effectively with adults, children, families, and couples with a wide range of problems, from mild to severe in nature. My therapeutic approach is strength-based and practical. I draw from a number of different treatment approaches (including but not limited to: CBT, Humanistic, Family Systems, DBT) to most effectively address your presenting issues, reduce symptoms, and meet your goals in seeking treatment.

Do you long for the days when you and your partner seemed happy and not every conversation left you feeling angry, sad, or misunderstood? Do you feel like you are banging your head against a wall having the same old fight? It can be very painful when the relationship you care the most about is not working or is causing you pain. I am certified in EFT, Emotionally Focused Therapy. Many therapists say they work with couples but when your relationship is struggling you deserve to work with someone who has experience and training with a solid, well researched approach that provides a plan to help you.

I take a warm, empathic approach and create a safe space to explore whatever may be holding you back from achieving more joy, connection, and authenticity in your life. I use evidence-based techniques to help you recognize patterns that are no longer serving you and to develop more adaptive coping skills. In addition to issues surrounding romantic relationships, I focus on individuals struggling with body image, perfectionism, feelings of imposter syndrome and addiction and the underlying shame. Therapy is a collaboration; together we'll set treatment goals, work toward those goals and evaluate our progress.

Are you ready to challenge yourself? Do you feel there is a gap between your true potential and your current achievements? Does your thinking pattern keep you from enjoying life? If your answer to any of these questions is Yes then we should probably talk. I have been a psychotherapist since 1991 and can certainly offer valuable, diagnostic, and therapeutic interventions to help you realistically define and achieve your goals. Whether you want to improve your relationship or marriage, get ahead in your career, put traumatic memories behind, or remain drug-free I can help you move in that direction.

I work exclusively with couples who are seeking a secure relationship. Relationships are complex for so many reasons, but often not the reasons you think. Together we figure out what gets in the way of you having a relationship that is based on security and true collaboration. "Peace between countries must rest on the solid foundation of love between individuals." said Mahatma Gandhi. Many couples I meet in my office lack the solid foundation to build a peaceful, vital relationship. Without a secure base and solid structure, partners can't relax and be themselves. A secure relationship both grounds and develops each partner.

I think the Beatle, Sir Paul McCartney sang it best, "I get by with a little help from my friends". All the interconnections with people, good or bad, have profoundly impacted who we are; the therapeutic relationship is another profound crossing of paths where deep calls to deep, and a little help on the journey is sacred. I work from a dynamic view of personhood and explore the interconnections of mind, body and soul. There is a profound dynamic in the therapeutic process, finding a therapist where one can feel connected to is essential to personal change through an authentic, vulnerable relationship.

"Without awareness, we are not truly alive" - James F. T. Bugental. The purpose of psychotherapy is to awaken the individual and increase insight through exploration of their life, choices, and resistance's. This examination is a personal journey and different for each person. Although difficult and challenging at times, it is a courageous endeavor that can lead to life long positive changes, new ways of being in the world, and a deeper meaning and purpose for one's life.

Finding meaning in life is the best gift you can give to yourself and those around you. Do you notice lack of motivation, self-sabotaging behaviors, or just feel stuck? Conscious awareness is the foundation for change and where you find the power to choose how to respond to life's challenges. By providing an attuned therapeutic relationship I help my clients develop self-awareness, establish and maintain clear personal goals, and learn to access inner strengths. Life's challenges are gifts that help us grow closer to our true purpose!

I understand that deciding to enter therapy is often a difficult decision. Facing a challenging issue takes courage, as does reaching out for help.

I utilize a variety of complementary therapeutic approaches in order to meet the unique needs of each client. Above all else, I strive to create a space where my clients feel safe, supported, valued, and capable of change.

Looking to create change in your life or your relationship? Is your current way of thinking or communicating preventing this change? Maybe you or your child needs assistance with establishing identity and improving self esteem. You may be looking for a therapist that is empathetic and respects your right to self determination, so that you can explore your change process in a safe environment. My ideal client comes to therapy with an open mind and a willingness to engage in the process of change.

I primarily utilize a Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic approach to therapy. Through being a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP) and a trained EMDR practitioner, I am able to advocate for clients through a trauma-informed lens. I believe cognitions influence behavior and early childhood events can shape how one views themselves, others, and the world. This results in learned patterns of thinking and behavior that can be brought to awareness with counseling. I am certified to work with couples as a SYMBIS and Gottman Level 1 clinician by focusing on communication skills while restoring friendship and trust in the relationship.
