As a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 32years of experience, I provide therapy that is empathetic, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. In a safe and supportive space, we’ll explore your concerns, identify recurring patterns, and work together to create meaningful, long-term changes. I also focus on practical strategies for short-term relief, helping you build satisfying relationships, achieve your goals, and strengthen your emotional regulation. My approach is integrative, collaborative, and centered on helping you feel understood, empowered, and supported throughout your journey.

Hello! I believe that therapy is a powerful tool that can be used for growth. However, finding your ideal therapist may be a challenge. My goal is to provide warmth, comfort, and understanding as we work collaboratively through your therapeutic experience. While being licensed in MD, VA, and DC, I am here to help you on your mental health journey.

I'm a licensed therapist who works with people navigating anxiety, life transitions, and the general chaos that can come with being a human, especially during big seasons of change like parenthood, relationship shifts, graduations, or just feeling like you're not quite where you thought you'd be.

I'm warm, honest, and very much a real person in the room with you. Therapy with me is supportive, but also practical and grounded in real life.

As a mom of three (specifically as a twin mom), I know how difficult and challenging life can be. This is why I strive to be meet clients wherever they are in their journey. Often times, we don't need or even want someone to tell us all the things to do, but instead want the support of someone walking with us through life's challenges.

I am a proud double duke of James Madison University. I received my BA in Psychology with a Minor in Family Studies. Then stayed to receive my M.A. and Ed.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. From there my counseling journey led me to complete my internship in a private practice clinic in Knoxville, TN as my husband finished his own education. Next, I worked with Youth Villages as an Intensive In Home Counselor. And most recently, worked as a Mental Health Outpatient Counselor with New River Valley Community Services (NRVCS) where I completed my VA residency and became an LPC.

In all of the clinical settings I have practiced, I have worked with a wide range of clients. The main population that I have served is children and adolescents. I am working to expand my knowledge and clinical expertise to also include more adults. My clinical trainings have included Play Therapy, CBT, TF-CBT, and EMDR.

I am a LCSW with experience working with individuals, couples and families, in a variety of clinical settings including the film & TV industry, Hollywood community MH, LA LBGTQ Center, and Braille Institute. I work with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, trauma, depression, anger, family and work relational issues, disabilities, as well as, grief and loss. I work with all ages and many cultures.
