I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Nationally Certified Counselor. I earned my Masters degree in counseling form Marymount University in Northern Virginia and have been in practice for 10 years. My previous career was as a professional artist and teacher.
I work with adult individuals and couples and my sexuality group for women runs 2 times yearly. I practice in the areas I know the best professionally and that I find most compelling.
I use a combination of different theories in my practice to balance the healthy care of psychological, sociological, biological and spiritual; meaning, I do not see mental health as a solo concern but view all components as affecting one another. Typically the therapies I incorporate are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Imago Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Mindfulness Techniques. I am an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) trained therapist for trauma. My training in sex therapy is extensive.
Another essential piece of treatment I employ is education relating to both the physiological and the psychological; understanding the mind/body connection, brain functioning and how cultural myths affect our sense of what we perceive as “normal”.
I strive to bring wisdom, life experience, professional education and skills to my work. Compassion, creative problem solving, and the ability and drive to understand and connect with my clients are my strong suits.
