Couples therapists in Alexandria, VA

I have spent most of my life helping people be the best versions of themselves, in one capacity or another. As a trauma-responsive counselor, I have several years of professional experience working with adults dealing with a variety of mental health issues (e.g., anxiety, depression, addiction, loss, life transitions, relationship issues, etc.). What is most important to my client is most important to me. I strive to help clients feel safe, heard, and empowered to navigate whatever life handles them.

I am Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Masters degree in Clinical Counseling and a Bachelors in Psychology and Criminal Justice. I am a Virginia CIT instructor and a clinician vetted through VALEAP. My experience includes post critical incident debriefs and peer support.

My clinical background includes working in emergency behavioral health settings, where I help individuals stabilize during some of life’s most challenging moments.

I have a particular passion for working with individuals impacted by critical incidents, acute stress, adjustment to change, and those navigating anxiety, depression, and overwhelming life stress.

Currently accepting clients in WA, VA, GA & MO.
