About me

Hello and welcome to my page!

I am known for my ability to quickly establish a genuine and helpful relationship with clients. I believe that clients inherently possess the internal resources they need to achieve their goals in life but sometimes need guidance and encouragement in getting back to their best. I employ an interactive approach to working with clients and do not hesitate to provide direct feedback as appropriate.

I previously was educated and worked as an engineer before deciding to go back to school to become a counselor. It is a decision I have never regretted as I love what I do! I obtained my PhD from Virginia Tech in 2005. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor in the State of Virginia. I presently work full time in the counseling center at Virginia Tech where I see university students and also have a part-time private practice.

You may notice my dog Moose in my profile picture. Moose is a registered therapy dog who generally is a part of my in-person sessions (unfortunately, he does not work online!).

Some of my therapeutic influences are Humanistic, Cognitive-Behavioral, Systemic, and Interpersonal theories. Specific professional interests include depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, and serious mental illness. I also focuses on stress management and wellness in my clinical work.

I specialize in working with the most challenging cases.
