I'm happy you are here. For 25+ years, it's been a pleasure to meet with people just like yourself, well, frankly, people like all of us: Those of us who may have felt lost, stuck, or hopeless, and who were seeking healing, compassionate support, and solutions toward achieving personal growth and peace. While I've had decades of experience in various settings, my specialty is working with adults of any age who've tried therapy in the past, but for whatever reason did not encounter the depth, meaning, or change they were hoping to find. I also specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and trauma (whether from childhood or adulthood). While that seems like a broad range of concerns, I've just been blessed to work with a variety of individuals and feel comfortable in particular with these topics or clients. I have worked in college counseling centers, hospital settings, the court system, in-home settings, community behavioral health centers, and in crisis units. I trained in graduate studies at Virginia Tech and have my undergraduate degree from the University of Mary Washington. Counseling is my third career path and it's a passion of mine.
Like many, I have also had a few twists and turns in my life, devastating losses and setbacks, and I believe these experiences help me to understand the depth of other's struggles and suffering. I also know that these roadblocks or obstacles can be overcome.
Let's find out how YOU can feel empowered again or ........for the very first time. You deserve it.
Your potential is so much greater than your problem. Let me show you how you can trust life and trust yourself again. I humbly see my role as a facilitator to whom you can empty your heart and with whom you can suffer less. We will also work collaboratively to teach you ways to live a more open, fulfilling, & transformed life.
You are allowed to ask very important questions about your life. You're allowed to ask what serves YOU sometimes. And guess what?! The process of answering those questions can be relaxing and enjoyable!
