Psychotherapy

I am independently licensed to provide individual, couples, and family mental health services to clients in Virginia. I work with children and adolescents, adults, and couples from all backgrounds and enjoy seeing how those distinct experiences and perspectives impact the uniqueness of each person’s therapy process. I have worked with children as young as age four all of the way through adults beyond retirement and enjoy working with people in all stages of the life cycle.

Assessment, Diagnosis, & Medication Evaluation Referral

Part of the psychotherapy process includes initial and ongoing assessment of the clinical needs of the client. I provide ongoing assessment of the potential need for medication evaluation based on clinical judgment and diagnostic criteria, offer referral recommendations when needed or requested, while also honoring the preferences of the clients' or parents' choice to choose how they would like to approach the course of treatment.

"Crunchy" Lifestyle Coaching

I provide "crunchy" lifestyle coaching with an aim to help lower toxins in the body, minimize hormone disruptors, and improve overall health outcomes. Whether it be the fabrics that you wear, the products that you use, or the things that you consume, I will help you take a deep dive into the things in your home and way of living that may be weighing you down. The goal is a happier mind, body, and soul!

My own personal journey has led me down this crunchy path over the last decade. I was able to completely resolve my PCOS (a hormone disorder I believe to have been caused by hormone disruptors) and went from years of "unexplained infertility" with several miscarriages to conceiving a happy, healthy baby. I have continued to live a crunchy lifestyle in regards to minimizing harmful chemicals in my family's life and hopefully improving all of our health outcomes. I enjoy helping others achieve similar goals to live a cleaner, healthier lifestyle.
