Currently providing counseling services as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Washington, DC and Maryland. I specialize in substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. I also have previous experience providing counseling for grief and loss, chronic/terminal illnesses and gerontology. I am open to working with men and women to help promote a healthier lifestyle, helping each client to achieve personal growth and progress. I am board certified by the Maryland BSWE to provide clinical supervision.
Coming from a military family—and serving as a trauma-focused clinician—I understand the unique challenges this community face. I specialize in EMDR and use parts work, mindfulness, and attachment theory to help clients process difficult experiences and reconnect with their strengths. I work best with helpers—military spouses, veterans, service members, law enforcement, healthcare workers, and those navigating complex family-of-origin dynamics. My clients often say I “get it,” speak their language (yes, even grunt-style), and show up as a real person.
I have completed a successful U. S. Army career as a Senior Helicopter pilot & paratrooper; Commanded Aviation & Field Artillery companies; and I am experienced Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) for past 25 years; graduate of Richmond VA Seminary. Born & raised in Topeka, Kansas as 3rd oldest in family of 12 children. Athletic background: high school wrestler & track star; college football player; & Six-time VA State Racquetball Champion. Dedicated to helping others be all they can be !
I am a compassionate, collaborative therapist who values the whole person. I work from a strengths-based perspective and believe that people have the capacity to heal, grow, and create meaningful change when provided with a safe and supportive environment. I honor each client’s lived experiences, and I strive to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. My role is to meet you where you are, help you explore what’s important to you, and support you in developing the tools and insight you need for lasting change.
