Therapist Overview
When our life and relationships are good, everything is good. But when our relationships are facing challenges or when there are stressors in our lives, our whole world feels inside out. My therapeutic focus is to have my clients navigate through difficult times and emotions in order to better express themselves, communicate more effectively with loved ones, and improve self-understanding using a Cognitive Behavioral approach. Everyone has a valued voice and I believe fostering a sense of belonging and self-understanding is key to strong, healthy relationships. I have been involved in the counseling field since 1991. I have worked as a relationship expert, a clinical addictions specialist, an academic counselor and a military family/life therapist. In addition to being in private practice, I work as a therapist/consultant at the University of Virginia’s Faculty Employee Assistance Program. I offer a unique approach to my practice by merging client-focused and solution-oriented techniques. I provide a nurturing, supportive and thought-provoking atmosphere to assist clients in enhancing their relationship skills. With compassion and understanding, I help each person build on their strengths to attain their personal counseling goals.
