Here to help.

There are times in everyone's life where it may seem as if the weight of the world is on their shoulders. Regardless of the struggle you may find yourself in, having a trained professional to listen and understand will make a difference.

While I do specialize in providing the treatment and guidance needed by so many of America's military personnel, I welcome clients from all walks of life and am by no means restricted to only these clients! My methods are holistic and tailored to each client's unique personality, to ensure they get the help needed. I will work with you to develop strategies in an effort to solve the issues you want to address. As an out-of-network provider for Tri-Care, I am accessible to active-duty military personnel, retirees and families suffering from the hardships of military life. In addition, I have expertise helping those who suffer from:

  • Workplace issues
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Stress
  • Relationship Issues
  • Military and Veteran Issues
  • Grief and Loss
  • Attention Deficit Disorder
  • Coping Skills
  • Bariatric weight loss assessments

There are many myths and misconceptions about what therapy actually is, what it entails, and what is or is not possible. The most common myths about therapy involve feelings of inadequacy or apprehension to the idea of "needing help" as a sign of weakness—nothing could be further from the truth! This list of therapy myths can help dissuade some of these false notions and help put you on the right track to a healthy and effective attitude toward therapy and our relationship. Of course, I am more than happy to help you work through these (or any other) misconceptions and better serve your needs.

If you want to take the first step on your road to wellness, please don't hesitate to call me at (540) 226-1498. Or, send a fax to (540) 659-3288. Alternatively, I encourage you to leave me a message on this site or via email.
