“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." - Theodore Roosevelt - Life is a journey, and often along the way the road can get bumpy, obstacles can block our path, and we can get stuck.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and a graduate of Eastern Virginia Medical School. I have over 16 years of experience of helping people heal emotional wounds. I specialize in depression, anxiety, ASD, trauma related issues and abuse. Feeling “blah”, stressed or angry shouldn’t be a daily experience. I enjoy aiding people in finding their own unique personal journey. I believe in a person-centered approach and tailor to each session to the client’s individual needs. I have an experience in traditional talk therapy but also have qualifications in art therapy, hypnotherapy, and equine assisted therapy.

There are times in life when you need an ally. Someone to listen, offer feedback, and help you realize your potential. During such times a therapist can be an important support. Whether you are struggling with isolation during COVID, are finding it hard to move past a break up, or cope with the absence of a loved one. Perhaps the struggle of "adulting" has you in total disbelief, or at a loss for words. These are times when you have an opportunity to make great change. Not because someone told you to go to therapy, but because you want to find yourself. My goal is to help you find your way and renew your outlook on life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with nearly 20 years of experience helping others understand their feelings, change unwanted behavior, repair relationships, and work through challenging situations. I believe the challenges we experience in life often stem from our reactions to day-to-day stressors, significant life events, or changes we encounter as we progress through life stages. Therefore, I aim to empower my clients with the ability to self-regulate, which with practice, helps to better navigate challenging situations as they arise.

I believe the goal of therapy is for clients to gain personal insight and understanding of themselves. When individuals understand themselves they are able to change the way they respond to situations and grow into their fullest potential. I use emotion focus techniques to guide clients to gain insight through experience. As a counselor I work as a teacher to help clients practice and experience mindfulness and other techniques for self regulation. We don't have to be victims of our emotions or our past experiences. Through counseling my aim is to walk with clients as they integrate past experiences with personal meaning and purpose
