I provide high quality counseling and mental health services to children, teens and adults in Virginia. All individuals will face challenges in life, and we all possess the ability to overcome them. However, sometimes circumstances can feel overwhelming and we struggle to manage the realities of everyday life. This is when feelings of depression, anxiety and hopelessness can begin to dominate our daily reality. The good news is, by combining scientifically proven methods, you can build the resilience skills necessary to thrive, no matter what circumstances you face.
I specialize in providing services to individuals dealing with a wide range of concerns including depression, mood disorders, anxiety, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder or other life stress. I integrate CBT, DBT and strength-based concepts to tailor treatment to your individual needs. I also specialize in facilitating Social Skills Groups
Social Skills Groups address a multitude of topics including, non-verbal social skills (eye-contact, body language, reading cues), starting and maintaining a conversation, self-esteem, confidence, coping strategies to reduce anxiety, assertiveness, dealing with "bullies" or other difficult personalities, active listening, team work and much more.
