I specialize in working with women in the perinatal period, first responders, and children. I understand the challenges of adjusting to motherhood, infertility, experiencing vicarious trauma, and healing from adverse childhood experiences. Some clients want resources to help them keep going and meeting life's demands without revisiting their past; I can help with that. For others who want to dive deeper and find long term healing, my goal is to help them believe in their heart what they know in their brain. I'm worthy. I'm capable. I'm safe. I did the best I could. I'm the best parent for my child.

I am a Virginia Board of Counseling Approved Clinical Supervisor. I love providing supervision almost as much as I love counseling, and I hope you’ll find my passion shows through in the knowledge I pass to you and the care I show for your clients’ lived experience. When we first start supervision, we set goals to guide your residency experience which are unique to you so that when you are ready for independent practice, you know your own strengths, you have carved out your niche, and feel confident providing evidence based practice that keeps people safe and helps them grow. I am certified in Trauma Focused CBT, EMDR, and Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga. My specialties include Perinatal Mental Health, Complex Trauma, Child Behavioral and Emotional Disorders, and First Responders. Jump into a group as soon as next week!
*EMDR Consultant in Training. You can use 15 hours of this toward your EMDR certification!
Individual Supervision available for $80. If you are paying out of pocket for supervision and are behind on hours, ask me about programs that may pay for your supervision!
Trauma Center Trauma Sensitive Yoga can be a great addition to counseling or an alternative to talk therapy. Trauma can take away your sense of safety and agency of your body. Trauma Sensitive yoga can help you find a sense of calm connection and ownership of your body. I provide forms that are approachable for beginners, paced according to your preferences and completely invitational, allowing you to opt out of any forms without judgement.
