About Me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a diverse range of experiences in the mental health field. I have worked in a number of settings to include community-based services, and private practice. I have worked with individuals from pre-adolescent, adolescents, adults, and couples, and a wide range of mental health conditions ranging from anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship conflicts, to more severe mental health disorders.

I received my BA in Psychology with a minor in Sociology from Florida Atlantic University, and my MA in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, with a focus on trauma. I continue my professional development through trainings and certifications in trauma and couples. I am National Certified Counselor through the Board of National Certified Counselors, and I am licensed by the Virginia board of counseling. I am affiliated with the American Counseling Association and the Virginia Counseling Association.
Grounded on the belief that everyone has the potential to heal and grow, I use an integrated approach to help individuals reach their goals. I work collaboratively with my clients in creating personalized interventions supported by evidenced based treatments.
Services
Comprehensive Assessment
It can be challenging to take that first step into counseling, and sometimes confusing in identifying what is wrong or what to do about it. A comprehensive assessment can provide insight into this questions and help develop a more focused treatment approach customized to your specific needs. This process entails gathering a full psychosocial history, a clinical interview, and standardized assessments. Assessment intakes are typically 90 minutes.
Individual Counseling
Individual counseling sessions are typically 45 minutes, once per week. The duration of treatment will largely depend on your presenting issues and goals. Treatment goals will be customized to your individual needs, this may be pursued in counseling as a long-term or short-term approach, self-care strategy, or seeking assistance for a specific concern. I offer a hybrid model, this includes in-person and Telehealth Counseling when appropriate.

In a relationship it can be hard to agree or find the words to communicate how we feel. Couples Counseling can be beneficial to partners struggling with any aspect and at any stage of their relationship, whether you are married, dating, or engaged; heterosexual or same sex. Treatment will be tailored to needs and presenting concerns identified during intake. Sessions are in-person and typically 60-90 minutes.
