Leesburg, VA 20175
I provide Substance Abuse Counseling ages 15+ , relapse prevention and SA assessments.
I am now accepting new clients for May 2024 in person and Zoom. I have been working in the recovery field as a Sub Abuse Counselor since 1994. I am a compassionate therapist, but with a bit of no nonsense thrown in. I want my clients to feel safe and know they can move forward with this challenge because staying stuck is not the answer. Recovery can be difficult and the path can seem daunting, but making changes is essential to living a better life. In addition to substance abuse I have assisted individuals recover from gambling addictions as well.

I have specialized training in working with trauma, substance abuse, chronic pain and anxiety.
Now accepting new Aetna clients! Being a human can be really hard sometimes. Maybe it’s hard because there’s an area in our lives where we struggle, like in our careers or relationships. Perhaps, we’ve experienced some painful times that we haven’t fully healed from or find ourselves engaging in problematic behaviors. Whatever our struggles, I’ve found that psychotherapy can help reduce our suffering and help connect us to the joy of being alive.

I specialize in complex trauma (C-PTSD), dissociation, addiction, depression, anxiety, relationships, and ADHD. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. People often carry their pain for years; scared that they are broken, that they don’t deserve happiness, or that changing will only make things worse. But the fact that you are here now shows that a part of you wants more from life, and is ready to try again. Though it takes courage and perseverance to face this pain and risk trusting another person to help, I hope you will listen to the part of you the brought you here today.

My focus areas are addiction, substance abuse, problem gambling, trauma, depression, and anxiety.
Change is possible if you take the first step. I come from a place of understanding that making any changes in life can be difficult, even talking to a therapist! I believe therapy is like a conversation, which can make difficult situations feel more manageable and goals more attainable.

Making the decision to look for help can be difficult and where do you start? With so many therapist being listed it's hard to decide which one to choose based on a simple profile and picture. Maybe you've tried therapy in the past and found that it wasn't a very helpful endeavor for you. You still are struggling with some problems yet don't know what else to do. That's why I offer a free initial consultation. Before you spend any of your hard earned money or waste your precious time you can decide if I can be of benefit to you and your particular challenge. And if I'm not the one? I will help you find someone who is for free.

It focuses on an integration of mind, body, and spirit. I believe each individual is unique so I use a variety of approaches to assist my clients, depending on individual needs. I completed my internship and residency in Community Mental Health (IOP), Juvenile Detention Center, Methadone Clinic, Private Practice (PHP), and Residential/Acute. Currently, I provide services in DC and Virginia, but I only provide virtual sessions at this time.
