Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Stafford, VA

I want to help you help yourself. I believe everyone is capable of change and I will teach you skills to use everyday.

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.

Looking to shift your perspective from "What is wrong with me" to "What happened to me"? My ideal client is someone who is willing to engage in an inner deep-dive into what they've experienced and survived. My area of specialty is treating Complex PTSD- particularly military/veterans/first responders, SOF/intelligence communities, women, and survivors of childhood and sexual trauma, and "high achievers". I also treat anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.

I work with adults who are ready to engage deeply in their healing and personal evolution. Many of my clients have spent much of their lives in caregiving roles: parents, adult children caring for aging family members, partners, healthcare professionals, teachers, therapists, or those who naturally take on the role of “the strong one.” While meaningful, these roles can also lead to overwhelm, burnout, and a pattern of overfunctioning that leaves little room for your own needs.

You may have already experienced therapy and are now seeking something more integrative; an approach that moves beyond coping into clarity, embodiment, and empowerment. Often, my clients come in recognizing that they’ve been conditioned to prioritize others, and are ready to explore the patterns, beliefs, and internal narratives that have shaped that way of being.

In our work together, you are met with compassion as we uncover these patterns and begin the process of reconnecting you with your own needs, values, and inner authority. This is not about becoming someone new, but about returning to yourself.

I provide psychotherapy using a personalized, trauma-informed approach that integrates somatic practices, nervous system regulation, shadow work, ecotherapy, transpersonal hypnotherapy, guided meditation, breathwork, reflective writing, and ritual-based practices.

This is a space where your growth, healing, and wholeness are honored...a journey of uncovery, discovery, and love.

My home base is North Carolina. I serve clients in NC, NJ, VA, FL and CA.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor offering virtual therapy in Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia. I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling Education and Supervision and specialize in working with individuals navigating the impact of childhood maltreatment and trauma, including sexual abuse. I also support women living with autoimmune diseases who are managing the emotional and psychological toll of chronic illness.
