Spirituality Therapists in Fredericksburg, VA

"I help people LOVE people better."

I am a professional counselor licensed in Virginia with over 7 years of experience working in various settings including schools, in home, and Outpatient. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including grief, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, substance use issues and the LGBTQ population. I have also helped many people who have experienced trauma and emotional abuse. I consider myself a very spiritual person and like to incorporate spiritual practices into my work!

I believe the problems that direct clients into counseling are emotional, physical, and spiritual. Therefore, the whole person must be addressed and treated as a unique and complex individual. As a Christian therapist I help clients get to the root causes of their distress and assist them to find answers by using solution focused therapy. While some long-term therapy is a necessity I take pride in helping people set goals and objectives to find answers to their issues and struggles. Discover the hidden strengths in your weakness and find an inner peace that brings stability amidst your storm.

Whether you feel worn down over time by life, or beat down by major events, I create a safe and positive space for examining your strengths and values to move forward into a brighter future.

My life took on a whole other meaning growing up as a military dependent and after the death of my Mother. Through it all, I've learned that life is a matter of perspective.

Are you struggling with sexually problematic behavior? Do you think you may be addicted to pornography? Has your spouse betrayed trust by crossing emotional boundaries with someone else? There is hope. It is possible to recover from compulsive or addictive behaviors and to have marriage and family relationships restored. Many who have been negatively impacted by sexual compulsivity share feelings of anger, hurt, shame, and helplessness. I've successfully helped individuals, couples, and families heal from sex and porn addiction by providing a safe, non-judgmental, confidential setting to help learn tools to grow beyond the grip of destructive choices.

As women we play so many roles and often have little time to care for our personal needs. This can become a way of being which often leads to feeling unfulfilled, overwhelmed, drained, and stressed. When we create a healthy balance that includes our needs as priority, we experience more energy, more love, more joy, and a clearer sense of purpose. As your therapist, I will explore your concerns, assist you in identifying your personal strengths, and help you to develop effective coping strategies that will enhance your daily life.

I remember when I started looking for a counselor. I knew things were not right but I wondered were they so bad that I needed to go to a stranger for help. After tossing around the idea in my head I worked up the courage to start calling people. Most counselors never returned my call which was frustrating and disheartening. Still, I held out a tiny shred of hope and found myself sitting on someones couch looking at my life.
