About Me

After 23 years teaching in the high school classroom, I decided to give back to my community in a different way and earned an M.Ed in Family and Couples Therapy at VCU. My years as a teacher have given me a passion for helping people both individually and in family therapy.

I am sincere and ardent about helping people from all walks of life, and I am a supporter of racial and LGBTQ+ justice and inclusivity.

I offer telehealth services for couples, families, and individuals

Perry, the therapy dog, graduated VCU with me. He is sad that I am currently doing telehealth, but loves to drop in on meetings for people who need love bombs from dogs.

I have certifications in:

Fundamentals of Telemental Heath and Ethics Certificate
Mandated Reporting & Child Safety
Unlocking Eating Disorder Recovery
Trauma-focused CBT Web 2.0
DBT
Complex PTSD

Trainings include:

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy
Compassion Focused Therapy
Positive Psychology
Mindfulness
Trauma
Family Systems Theory

I am a member of the American Counseling Association, American Mental Health Counselors Association, Association for Child and Adolescent Counseling, and the International Association for Marriage and Family Therapy.
