I am an engaging, energetic & seasoned therapist with over 20 years of experience.  With empathy and compassion, I can help you grow into a healthier person being while using a combination of therapeutic techniques in my practice.   I have been practicing in Northern Virginia  (Falls Church) since 2004, addressing many different types of concerns:
* trauma
* grief
* attachment style
* infertility
* pregnancy/ child loss & postpartum depression* (see below)
* parenting concerns
* sexuality (including LGBTQ+) & gender identity
​* narcissistic abuse 
* relationship crisis and/or infidelity
* spirituality/religion deconstruction
* behavioral addictions (sex, gambling, pornography, Internet, overeating) 

I am EMDR trained and offer this to my clients who are interested in an alternative to talk therapy.  I also offer couples counseling intensives, alongside another therapist, for those in need of a more focused and concentrated format. I have found that each intensive (2-3hrs) can equal many months of marriage counseling, and that this format allows for greater exploration & resolution, in a significantly shorter amount of time and overall less cost. 

I am an approved supervisor by the licensing board (since 2010) in the state of Virginia and am available to provide clinical supervision. 
​​
In 2013, I created Falls Church Wellness Center.  FCWC is home to over 50 exceptional wellness practitioners (Therapy, Yoga, Chiropractic, Functional Medicine, Coaching, Massage, Acupuncture and more).  We also host an array of Fitness & Movement classes as well as therapeutic and artistic groups in our studio.  
After many trainings (including the Post-Graduate PPD Training led by Karen Kleiman),  educational opportunities and hands on experience,  I am recognized as an expert in PMADS (Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders) and featured on DMV PMH Resource Guide & Postpartum VA.
