Therapist

Virtual • Fredericksburg, VA


I’ve been working in the mental health field for nearly a decade and bring a deep commitment to helping individuals heal, grow, and thrive. I hold a Master’s Degree in Forensic Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Washington, DC and a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from Marshall University in Huntington, WV. These academic foundations, combined with years of hands-on experience, have shaped my compassionate, informed, and client-centered approach to therapy.

Most recently I was serving as a Licensed Clinical Therapist where I provided individual and group therapy in an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for adults facing complex mental health and substance use challenges. I am currently working at a small group practice treating adults with stress, anxiety, depression, ptsd, and more. I hold sessions on the weekend and in the morning one a week.

At the heart of my practice is a belief in the power of authentic connection. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore difficult emotions, build insight, and take meaningful steps toward lasting change.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) specializing in individual and family therapy. She is a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC) and a Certified Sex Offender Treatment Provider (CSOTP). I am also certified in Eye Movements Desensitization & Reprocessing. I am currently serving as a private practitioner working with a broad spectrum of clients. My areas of expertise are addictions, co - occurring disorders, post- separation abuse, narcissistic abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, sexual behaviors, conduct disorders and oppositional disorders.

Beyond my credentials, I believe it’s important for clients to know that I value authenticity and connection. I bring warmth, compassion, and a grounded presence into sessions. I also have a love for travel, music, theatre, and dogs—parts of who I am that help me stay connected to creativity, joy, and balance in life.

Overall, clients can expect a therapist who is experienced, direct yet compassionate, and deeply committed to supporting their healing and growth.
