Family Therapy in Bracey, VA

For over 13 years I have provided individual and group psychotherapy to graduate and undergraduate students at the University of Michigan as well as in private practice with adults. I have extensive experience working with clients on a range of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma related issues, and substance use. As an ordained Interfaith Minister, my interests also include spirituality and religious concerns, family of origin issues, sexual orientation concerns, relationship difficulties, and cross-cultural/multicultural issues. I am committed to working with marginalized and underrepresented populations.

Life is messy. And hard and complicated. It doesn't matter if you are a kid, a parent, a teen, or adult we all thrive when we have relationships to connect us to ourselves, families, and our world during stressful times. What I do best is create a space (physical or emotional) for healing within ourselves and relationships. I work with people of all ages, and especially love working with kids and their caregivers, to focus on healing and understanding.

My passion is working to help children and their families who are struggling with conflict, emotional/ behavioral problems, and trauma. It is my pleasure to help my clients learn about themselves and discover their own personal and family strengths through engaging and interactive therapy. I use a variety of tools in session, including play/ drama, music, art, and sand tray to help individuals express themselves. Being a child, teenager, or caregiver is hard! I can provide the knowledge and tools to help my clients learn how to overcome life's challenges by channeling their own personal strengths.

We work with individuals and families who are entering recovery from addictions or are in recovery from substance use disorders and working on living a life of wellness.

Helping individuals and families live a substance use disorder recovering life is what we do.

I hold an M.A. in Human Services, Marriage and Family Counseling, and Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University and am a Resident in Counseling. Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Counselor Education and Supervision. My counseling approach is tailored to each client's specific needs. I incorporate multicultural and creative arts with an eclectic approach to counseling to address each client's needs. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

Happiness is a fleeting emotion meaning "good luck." The Joy of life creates a refreshing sense of warmth like sunshine interpreting the rain. Naturally, rain falls in every life, and it is impossible to escape. However, when the rains of life make your days feel like an endless deluge of disappointment, feeling overwhelmed, fearful, and even hopeless—the clouds of your existence forecast sadness, more regret, and discouragement. The good news is that the Sun is always shining somewhere. The power to bask in the reinvigorating Sunlight lies within you. Discover your ability to experience the positive change of Joy in your life.

Taking the first step in identifying ways in which you would like to feel differently or aspects of behavior you'd like to change can be difficult. As a trauma-informed licensed professional counselor, I have found that one of the most important components of the therapeutic relationship is creating a nonjudgmental, safe environment that allows for growth and healing to transpire. We are a team that will work together in overcoming challenges you are experiencing and work towards changes you would like to make.
