- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with over 15 years of experience working in the field and providing mental health clinical services for a variety of settings including home-based services, community-based services, school settings, correctional, and residential group homes. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults. My experience and training include working with individuals who experience emotional and or behavioral disturbances which include but not limited to anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, gender dysphoria, self-esteem issues, emotional dysregulation, paraphilic disorders, suicidal ideation, lgbt-related issues and self-harming behaviors.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, client centered, solution-focused and psychotherapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I thrive in providing a warm, compassionate, unbiased and safe environment where clients are openly able to express their thoughts and feelings.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
