Great to meet you!

Hello, I am glad you are here. If you are looking to overcome anxiety that is hindering personal potential or peace, this is a great place to start. Please read on if I may assist. I've had the opportunity to help people of diverse backgrounds live life free of phobias, OCD, flashbacks and unwanted anxiety. Licensed in Virginia and Washington DC, I have twenty years experience as a Master's level therapist working with groups, families and individuals. I've worked with people ages 8 to 84 years old. I am Certified by the EMDR International Association. I chose this added level of training and practice because I am dedicated to helping my clients overcome the above concerns.

My approach to therapy

I enjoy working side by side with clients. My goal is to help you step into the patterns you want, to live intentionally, joyfully and free of old burdens. In addition to EMDR, I have had extensive training and practice in the following therapy approaches: Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Hypnotherapy, Somatic therapy, and Mindfulness-based CBT.

What you can expect from me

When we begin working together, I'll learn about your preferences, concerns, goals and strengths. We will identify the goals you want to achieve and decide together which therapy or potential combination of therapies is a best fit. Together we can create a path to transform distress and anxiety into clarity, confidence and forward movement.
