Licensed Professional Counselor

My Approach

Therapy That Builds Competence, Not Dependency

I believe emotional suffering often continues when we don't fully understand how our minds and nervous systems work. When clients learn to observe their thoughts instead of automatically believing them, especially through mindfulness practices, real freedom becomes possible. Serving adolescents (ages 9+), adults, and couples across Ashburn, Leesburg, Sterling, and Loudoun County, Virginia.

We'll break down thought patterns, nervous system responses, and relational dynamics in ways that make sense. I frequently use diagrams, models, and real-time teaching so that you leave not just feeling heard, but equipped.

Clients describe me as...
Direct, thoughtful, and highly structured. I'm the therapist who uses the whiteboard, often. If you like visuals, frameworks, and walking away from sessions with clear takeaways, you'll appreciate my style.
I work best with clients who...
Want to understand the mechanics of their anxiety, thoughts, and behaviors. If you're someone who likes learning, appreciates clear structure, and wants actionable strategies, we'll work well together.
In sessions, you can expect...
Education woven into every session. We'll break down thought patterns and nervous system responses using diagrams, models, and real-time teaching, especially around mindfulness and cognitive restructuring.
My philosophy
Insight is powerful, but insight plus skills is life-changing.
