It is a privilege to be let into people's lives during challenging times and I do not take this lightly. With me, you get a supportive and a compassionate counselor who also keeps it real. I see my role as that of an anchor. Life does not make for smooth seas with constant changes, but I can help keep you grounded as you ride out the waves and are ready to set sail again! Whether you need to process an event, sit with your emotions, learn to give yourself compassion, or generate more ideas for coping, I'm here to support you on your journey towards optimal wellness!
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia. I have a BA in Psychology and MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, both from Radford University. I have a decade of experience in the mental health field providing services to individuals, couples and families. I recently started supervising pre-licensed mental health professionals on their path to licensure. As a practice, we have created several community partnerships to better understand and serve our community. I use a variety of theories and techniques in my sessions, such as Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. One size does not fit all!
A little bit about me - I love my family (including my 2 dogs), my friends, spending time outdoors, cooking and baking (and eating), painting, and watching shows. I am looking forward to getting to know you and being a part of your journey!
