About Me

With over 20 years of experience in community, inpatient, and outpatient behavioral health, I specialize in mental health therapy and helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. I hold master’s degrees in Education and Clinical Social Work and am licensed to provide telehealth therapy (video and phone) in Virginia, Oregon, Florida, and Louisiana. 


I provide a supportive and inclusive space for people from all walks of life. My approach is grounded in respect, authenticity, and collaboration to help you work through challenges and achieve meaningful personal growth.

Youth Transition Services
As a trained vocational evaluator, I offer transition counseling for youth with disabilities as they move toward adulthood, helping them build confidence and skills for employment, education, and independent living.
 

Counseling Approach

My style is warm, eclectic, and genuine. I draw from a range of evidence-based practices, including:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
