Great to meet you!

Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia. I received my Masters degree from the University of Virginia (Counselor Education) and have been practicing for 26 years. I help individuals struggling with anxiety and depression, to find coping strategies that work for them and help them to reduce stress. The overall goal is for the individual to become the best version of themselves.

My approach to therapy

Having worked with a diverse group of clients for the past 26 years, I've developed and used many coping strategies that will be key to helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress. I love to meet my clients where they are and to work closely with them to find solutions!

What you can expect from me

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions to get to know one another, then discuss the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us to begin to create a plan together for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
