“Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words
Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior
Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits
Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values
Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny”
-Mahatma Gandhi
I believe in guiding and encouraging people to become their true selves. Healing and growth that promotes a healthy and productive lifestyle is crucial. I have over 30 years of experience as a therapist. I earned my Bachelor of Arts from East Carolina University in Psychology and my Master of Science degree at Virginia Commonwealth University. Licensed in the State of Virginia, I have a work history in several outpatient, inpatient, and residential treatment settings. My approach is eclectic and incorporates solution focused, cognitive behavioral and reality based therapies. I provide individual, marital/couples, and family therapy to children, teens and adults. I specialize in depression, anxiety, sexual and physical abuse, trauma, PTSD, recovery from substance abuse, codependency, eating disorders, Christian counseling, and mindfulness. I encourage healthy growth and promote strong recovery in overall mental health.
My other interests include family, friends, and outdoor activities. I love animals and sports. I believe in tending to mind, body and Spirit.
