About My Clients

Are you experiencing difficulties with managing anger, depression, anxiety, decision-making, setting a functional daily routine, life transitions, parenthood, or military spouse life? Sometimes it's hard to accept help and believe we are worth helping. You are important, and I am excited to support you in creating a new normal. I've worked with clients from age 3 to adulthood. I best serve teens and adults at this time, as I am solely practicing via Telehealth.

My Background and Approach

I have experience working alongside children and teens with behavioral concerns as well as parents and families affected by mental health challenges. I hope to inspire curiosity about what you need to feel in control and support you in identifying areas of growth and strengths. The nitty gritty: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (Virginia License No. 0701009045) and National Certified Counselor (Certificate No. 744866). I earned my Master of Science and Education Specialist degrees in Counseling and Human Systems with an emphasis on Mental Health Counseling from Florida State University.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

It can be easy to respond to "How ya doing?!" with "good," "ok," or "fine." I want to dig deeper with you. I believe it is important to know our true feelings and thoughts as they affect our day to day life. You are the expert on you. I do not have all the right answers, but I hope to have questions that help you find them. I aim to explore your beliefs and worldview. I encourage you to develop healthy coping skills and lean on your support system(s).
