As a Clinical Psychologist I enjoy working with the entire life span. It gives me a unique perspective and understanding of what challenges occur at different stages of life whether it's a child/adolescent/young adult making changes for the future or an older adult working through childhood experiences or traumas. For healing to occur it is critical to understand how past patterns of coping and beliefs are an active part of our current lives. Practical reflection and problem solving is an integral part of my treatment. I have been in private practice in Prince William County since 1988.

For the past 26 years (since 1996) I have been in private practice. Through the years, the focus has been forensics and traumas from early childhood to veterans' issues. The therapeutic approach I've maintained is a blend of psychology, creative arts and spirituality. All our creativity is merely an apprenticeship for the larger art: our lives. When given the opportunity to experience the visions, dreams and pain we enter the sacred. We are involved with forces whose energies are greater than our own.

Truly effective therapy requires a professional who cares and listens to you. In my sessions, I will make sure you are heard.

Life’s challenges may cause us to react and respond in many different ways. Our current situation may or may not be in our immediate control, but when we look at our life, long-term, it will be the decisions that we make today that set the course of the overall outcome. Experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, confusion, and frustration (to name a few) may be a part of that journey, but you do not have to go down that road alone. It's important to have a safe and confidential space to work through challenges, become more resilient, and come out on the other side with confidence and skills to manage the situations you face.
