I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Commonwealth of Virginia who loves helping individuals, couples, and families. I start by providing a safe environment for you to share what is on your heart. I listen without judgment and help you see what you’ve been doing right, where your strengths are, and how you can harness them to bring health to the areas where you are struggling.
I use talk therapy, but also supplement it with relaxation techniques and expressive therapy, such as art, music, or writing, when that seems appropriate and you are interested in trying it. My foundational theoretical models are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems, and trauma-informed care, integrated, when desired, with biblical principles and prayer.
My special focus is on repair and restoration of marriages broken by infidelity, as well as supporting women in abusive marriages.
I received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Religion from Carson Newman University, a Master of Education Degree in Counselor Education from Virginia Commonwealth University, and have done additional graduate work in counseling at Liberty University.
I’ve been working with Christian Counseling Associates since 2011.
