About My Clients

As a native of Northern Virginia, a spouse of a US Veteran, and a mom of two neurodivergent kids, I am dedicated to the continued support of families and my local community. I look forward to connecting with clients that are neurodivergent, are parents of neurodivergent children, college students with anxiety and depression, individuals with chronic illness, traumatic brain injuries, PTSD or have a connection to the military.

My Background and Approach

I have dedicated most of my career working to understand the primary function of our brain and physical bodies on our emotional and mental health. A behaviorist by nature, my approach includes trauma informed care with sessions structured around providing goal directed, solution focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

“A good life is a process- not a state of being” Carl Rogers. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process between the client and the therapist who work together towards realistic, measurable, and attainable goals. The first step to change is awareness, if you’re here, you’ve already taken that first step. ​
