Below you will find information on my credentials, experience and therapeutic style. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Virginia with a Master of Arts in Community Counseling and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology.
I am a level 3, Internal Family Systems (IFS) Certified IFS Therapist.
I work with Virginia residents and clients ages 18+.
I have experience working in a variety of treatment settings to include:
Substance abuse day treatment programs
Residential treatment programs
Home-based counseling
Fairfax County outpatient mental health services
Private practice
Internal Family Systems and Mindfulness are two evidence-based, life-enriching therapies that I incorporate in my treatment. By use of techniques from these practices, I help individuals recognize and overcome unhelpful patterns that contribute to distress and suffering. Individuals also learn to be in the present putting a stop to endless cycles of reliving the past or worrying for the future. My work is my passion and I strive to help individuals overcome obstacles to connect with what brings meaning, healing, and personal growth in their lives.
I serve all Virginia residents included, but not limited to Northern, VA and Richmond, VA.
