My Experience
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with over a decade of experience empowering adolescents and adults to navigate life’s most trying moments. I earned my Master’s degree from George Mason University with high honors. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping clients overcome anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship conflicts, among other challenges. These experiences have only reinforced my belief that with the right support, everyone is capable of embracing meaningful change and unlocking their true potential.
While I specialize in supporting women, my practice is inclusive of all genders, sexual orientations, and backgrounds. I am dedicated to creating a space where you feel safe, accepted, and confident in your healing journey.
How Do I Do It?
My approach to therapy is engaging and tailored to your unique journey. I integrate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing to help you identify what meaningful change might look like for you. I often incorporate creative techniques to teach effective coping skills, empowering you to make meaningful progress toward the changes you seek. Whether you're hoping to gain control over overwhelming emotions, strengthen your relationships, or rediscover your purpose, I’ll work with you to transform your challenges into opportunities for self-discovery and growth.
On a More Personal Note
As both a clinician and the mother of a minimally verbal child diagnosed with autism and ADHD, I’ve witnessed the power of resilience, adaptability, and diverse forms of communication. These personal experiences have deepened my empathy and sharpened my ability to connect with clients navigating complex and unique circumstances. I understand the courage it takes to begin therapy, and I’m here to guide, support, and equip you with the tools to create a more balanced and fulfilling life.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you will take to achieve those goals.
-Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear understanding of what's going on.
-Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
