I am licensed in Virginia with over 20 years of professional experience working with adults navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, professional burnout, and major life transitions.
My approach is structured, trauma-informed, and purposeful. We do not spend weeks “warming up” to therapy. We begin the work in the first session by identifying what is happening, what is getting in the way, and what needs to change. Therapy with me is collaborative, honest, and focused on movement—not just insight.
My style is direct, which can initially feel challenging. What we will challenge are ways of thinking and being that no longer serve where you are now. I ask clear questions, offer straightforward feedback, and stay focused on what will actually help you move forward. The goal is not comfort—it’s progress.
I pay close attention to patterns—how you think, respond, cope, and get stuck—so we can understand what’s keeping things from shifting. Sessions are focused, grounded, and connected to your real life.
Schedule with me if you’re ready to stop ruminating on the issue and start changing it.
Additional areas of focus: Abandonment, Attachment issues, Autism and Asperger Syndrome, Blended family issues, Codependency, Communication problems, Divorce and separation, Immigration issues, Life purpose, Midlife crisis, Money and financial issues, Mood disorders, Multicultural concerns, Post-traumatic stress
