I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with over 20 years of experience working within the field of mental health. I feel so fortunate to be able to do this type of work with people, and I believe in the importance of therapeutic human connection as a healing tool. I view my role as a supportive presence in helping you to move forward on whatever path you are traveling. While we can't change painful situations from the past, we can work together to better understand where you have been and how your experiences have affected you. I believe you have the ability to achieve your goals, find and maintain balance, navigate life's challenges, and heal from adversity.
​
I offer individualized counseling for adults experiencing a variety of life situations, including grief and loss, trauma, relationship issues, life stressors and transitions, anxiety, depression, and women's issues. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to share your thoughts, worries, feelings, and goals, and I consider myself to be your ally and advocate in your journey. I will make every effort to help you identify and build on your strengths, and reflect on ways that negative thinking, patterns, and beliefs can interfere with your goals. Most importantly, I believe in the resilience that we all have within us that allows us to weather the storms, experiencing and acknowledging the pain, and finding a path forward. It is a privilege to be a part of your journey.
