Covid-19 Update: Having been fully vaccinated, I am seeing other fully-vaccinated clients in-person, at my McLean office. Telehealth sessions are only offered to long-term clients who through no fault of their own, never knew I'd be moving to McLean.

About Me

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor native to Northern Virginia and for 22 years I’ve had the incredible opportunity to use my training, skills and experience to try to make a positive difference in the lives of many people, from young children to adults and from many different walks of life. By meeting people where they are, and not where they are expected to be, I empower my clients to lift themselves up to a place in life where they want to be. For children / teens who are too young to know, I work through play to shape behaviors and elicit their inherent strengths that will increase the odds of them discovering their potential of who they can become.

I help my clients turn difficulties into opportunities for personal growth and a more satisfying and rewarding life through promoting positive change. Through the use of individualized strengths-based and solution-focused interventions, I help my clients identify and achieve their goals for treatment, while measuring progress along the way.

It takes courage to acknowledge a problem and to face it head on, but you are worthy of living your best life!  I have the knowledge, training and experience to lend a professional helping hand.

Areas of Specialty 

Note: Because child and adolescent behavior problems are often a function or an extension of problems within their family or home unit, proper assessment of parents’ and family functioning is essential. The younger the child, the more likely it will be that parent participation and involvement in the treatment process will be necessary.
