I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia. I am passionate about working with children, adolescents, teens, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, behavioral issues, mood disorders, daily life stressors, self-esteem, identity development and self-concept issues. Additionally, I enjoy working with young adults seeking self-improvement, meandering through their twenties and thirties.
I am a Registered Play Therapist™ and I incorporate play modalities throughout my scope of practice. I utilize a Cognitive-Behavioral approach with a client-centered focus to embrace the therapeutic relationship with clients. I have a big fluffy dog named Maslow, he has a Therapy Dog title through AKC. I have completed Level 1 and 2 training in Animal Assisted Play Therapy™ and utilize those skills and theoretical framework under supervision. Please let me know if you are interested in having Maslow as part of your treatment.
I strive to foster a sense of safety and genuineness within the counseling relationship and the space. I believe in a strong mind-body connection within the individual and work to find healing through a holistic lens. I value a collaborative approach to creating goals and offer stepping stones to support the journey.
When I am not working you will find me with my partner and two bonus kiddos! I find peace outside through running, walking the dogs, or Yoga! I love the sunshine, good conversation and encourage the people around me to live your truth.
