My therapeutic approach is strengths based and tailored for each client, situation, and goal to find what works best for that individual.

I have experience providing therapy in outpatient, school based, and in-home settings working with ADD/ADHD, anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, depression, personality disorders, dual diagnosis, anger management, substance use and abuse, parenting issues, and more. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and further certified to provide Trauma Focused CBT in the state of VA.

I have a special interest in helping people overcome anxiety and trauma, as well as depression, manage adjustment to life difficulties, deal with substance recovery, and seek personal growth. My view of those I serve is based on an understanding of each individual as a whole person, which goes beyond their challenges. I have a Person-Centered philosophy, with use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and Clinical Hypnosis.

I truly believe counseling is helping people to help themselves. I provide support and useful tools to assist clients in attaining their goals of personal growth and symptom relief. I enjoy working with clients from high school graduates to age 70. My primary focus of interest is working with clients who are motivated to seek short term therapy to improve their quality of life. My areas of expertise include: trauma, sexual assault, life transitions, depression, anxiety, low self esteem, grief, sexual identity, eating and body image issues.

Are you struggling with mood disorders, chronic illness/pain, life transitions or fertility issues? I have solutions and a passion for helping people overcome struggles in these areas. By guiding clients to learn new strategies, techniques, problem solving and coping skills, they learn how to approach life in more fulfilling ways. I provide a welcoming environment where you will feel at ease opening up about sensitive and confidential subject matter. One approach does not fit all so I tailor my treatment style to meet your needs, and we work together creating treatment goals that are attainable for you.

I have provided mental health services for over 35 years to adolescents and adults in inpatient and outpatient settings including college counseling. I strive to provide a confidential, supportive setting for individuals as they sort out how to best cope with life transitions and challenges from high school through retirement such as work or relationship stress, anxiety, sleep difficulty, depression or bi-polar and coping with grief/loss and trauma. Just being able to talk openly and honestly can often help. If you need different or additional supports we can explore who and where. Call for a consultation if you have any concerns.

I offer neurofeedback services and traditional psychotherapy to address issues such as ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury, Learning Difficulties, Reactive Attachment Disorder, and Sleep Difficulties.

The broadest definition of “wellness” includes physical, emotional, intellectual, occupational, social, spiritual, financial, and environmental wellness, and these areas of our lives are always interconnected. My ideal client is one who is experiencing heightened stress in one or more of these areas and recognizes the benefits of seeking outside help. Whether one's stress relates to age and stage in life or out-of-the-ordinary circumstances, I can help clients acquire the coping skills and problem resolution necessary for living well.
