Clinical Social Workers

Individual treatment with adults for depression, anxiety, military family issues, relationship conflict, and abuse related issues.

I provide individual, couples and, family therapy for clients ages 5 years and older. My foci include grief, trauma, working with military families, creative responses to the aging process, and individuals and families working through issues of gender and sexuality.

I provide both telehealth and in person sessions. Since we had to change services during the time of the plague, I offer meetings with clients in local nature-based environments and have seen the benefits of such conversations.  All clients under the age of 21 are seen in these locations.

My work with military families includes but is not limited to addressing stresses involved with change of duty stations, development of supportive communities, relationship issues, focused planning for departure to and return from deployments, and the effects of war-based trauma on family systems.

My work with individuals, couples and families who are living with gender or sexual diversity includes: accessing resources and information, addressing questions and concerns with-in family systems, addressing workplace or school-based issues, addressing issues of cultural or religious conflict, as well as providing support and research for individuals and families.

My work with aging individuals or couples includes a focus on continuing the development of communities and interests, negotiating romantic relationships, setting limits with “helping” friends and family, addressing loss issues, negotiating health concerns, and increasing comfort with transitions.

I enjoy my work and am looking forward to meeting you.

I provide individual therapy for those 15 years of age and up specializing in DBT, CBT, ACT, trauma informed interventions, somatic based approaches, EFT, addiction informed interventions, and attachment informed interventions. I have completed and am registered as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist. I am licensed in both the state of Virginia and North Carolina.

I provide marriage/couples counseling utilizing IFS and Gottman specific interventions and psychoeducation supporting reconnection and intimacy within relationships.

I have worked in many settings to include locked inpatient units, Detox specific units, different addiction treatment programs within the state of North Carolina, ACTT team in-home treatment for those with significant mental health diagnoses and am comfortable working with comorbid presentations. I have worked twice as an Embedded Mental Health Clinician with Special Operations requiring a TS-SCI clearance and am familiar with austere environments and the specific stressors within those settings. Finally, I have enjoyed most being in a private practice setting and working alongside professional colleagues allowing for dynamic sharing of skills and interventions.

Personally, I am a military spouse with my husband retiring following a 23-year career as an ER Trauma Nurse in 2017 out of Fort Bragg, NC. I am the daughter of a Vietnam Veteran with my father graduating from VMI in 1966. My husband and I have three daughters aged 22, 21, and 19.
