Intro
I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Virginia with over 15 years of clinical experience. My career has been diverse, giving me the opportunity to work with clients across a variety of settings. Over time, I focused primarily on working with older adults in hospital and private practice settings. I sincerely appreciate the honor of establishing a connection and exploring thoughts and feelings regarding life successes and challenges. Common concerns that I have successfully worked with include adjustment to life transitions, anxiety, depression, healthy aging, trauma, relationship issues, reminiscence, processing grief, and developing increased insight and confidence.
How would you describe your approach to care?
My approach is warm, welcoming, collaborative and personalized to everyone. I emphasize building a trusting relationship naturally at a pace you are comfortable with, where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions openly. Through reciprocal and supportive conversations, we navigate life's transitions and challenges together to gain clarity, understanding, confidence, and resilience. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, first and foremost. Reflection, growth, and meaningful changes will come subsequently to enhance overall well-being in your daily life.
What should be expected in the first session?
In our first session, we'll take the time to get to know each other and discuss what brought you to therapy. It is a relaxed and supportive conversation. This is a fresh beginning and there is no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with. We will reflect on expectations and goals that feel meaningful to you and I will ensure you feel heard and at ease as we start this journey together.
