Today i was incredibly anxious, tired and sad. I just wanted to curl up in a back corner with a box cutter and slash at my arms and legs. I was at school and basically talked to no one all day. I sat at the back of the my classes with my hood up and cried. I didnt even try to pretend i was having a good day. I cut die into my wrist during lunch when i hid in the stall so i wouldnt have to talk to anyone. My brothers words just keep replaying in my head, "GO FUCKING DIE." I have tried to end it i'm just a failure at that. And a couple months ago i had a reason to live. My best friend, my boy friend… both now ex's. Both who have left me. I dont see my ex boyfriend anymore but i have to see my ex best friend EVERYDAY. She stares at me during class, a blank stare. She dosent say a word. She hates me. I dont know why she does. She was the one who sent me to the mental hospital. I tried to be friends with her when i came back but she wouldnt speak to me. I'm sorry i cant end my life. As soon as i have the opportunitiy i will… I just feel bad for my mom. I love her with all my heart and i dont want to break her heart… I came home from school today and i had a horrible headache and felt naucious. I went upstairs got my blanket and threw it over my head and passed out. Next thing i know i slept through dance class. I constantly feel tired and sick. I think i may have something wrong with me. my mom took me to go get tests done but they came back and nothing was wrong as far as what they tested me for. i stopped taking my medicine so it cant be that thats making me sick… Also my other friend will not takl to me now. She discoverd my other sight i was blogging on and have been blogging on for years. Well i felt weird having her know ALL my secrerts. She knew i attempted suicide more than just once and she saw me the next day at school and said nothing inquiring what happened, she now knows im bi, she now knows about my relationship with my ex bestfriend and how i loved her, she knows about how i hear voices sometimes, she knows i cut in class she know all of my secrets and i didnt know how to handle it. I shut down and didnt say anything when i confronted her about her knowing about my blog. A week or so went by then this past weekend i was trying to be nice and reach out to her and i told her we should hangout and id buy weed and we could smoke up and talk, trying to be nice, and she made excuse after excuse why she couldnt and i havent heard back from her since. I feel like my friends are dropping off like rabbits. I have one person i can really call to hangout with and actually talk to her about stuff.. Thing is she has herown problems and although i consider her a good friend i dont know if i can really trust her to not judge me and keep my secrets. I vibe off of people and although she has a good vibe its not luminating like my ex best friend. idk what to do or what to think but it feels good blogging again.

Since 1977 that I am working with divers men and women clients as well as I was fortunate to live in three different countries, plus constantly continuing education and updating my knowledge related to human behaviors, made me a knowledgeable and strong therapist working with individuals and families during their hard time of life.

I provide professional, results-oriented counseling with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Hypnosis, methods that more quickly and effectively brings about positive changes. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I also work extensively with couples and family members on relationship issues.

I enjoy working with adolescents and young adults, and my areas of focus include anxiety, grief & loss, spirituality, life transitions, and relationship issues. I offer a safe and compassionate space for you to explore your story. I believe that healing occurs in the context of authentic and caring relationships, and use a relational, trauma-informed approach to therapy.
Originally from Virginia, I graduated from the University of Virginia with a B.A. in Religious Studies & Biology. After a time of working with adolescents, young professionals, and adults in a church in the D.C. area, I moved to Orlando and graduated with a Masters in Counseling from Reformed Theological Seminary in 2018.
I have since returned to my home state of Virginia, and am currently a Resident in Counseling working towards my license as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am practicing under the supervision of Dr. Daniel Gutierrez, LPC, CSAC. I maintain professional memberships in American Counseling Association (ACA) and the Association for Spiritual, Ethical, and Religious Values in Counseling (ASERVIC).

I help people heal from trauma. I use EMDR, Gestalt therapy, and other mind -body methods to address PTSD, anxiety, and depression in ways that are safe, gentle, and effective. If you have any questions, please call me or send me an email .

My approach is collaborative with the individual or family, providing therapeutic pathways & education to promote existing strengths & abilities to sustain achieved outcomes long after counseling is completed.

My approach to counseling is that each individual has the potential within them to accomplish anything. My job is to help you realize that potential and to make peace with the issues that you face. Notice I never said anything about “getting over” what you have going on, because I believe that there are some things that make that impossible. But, I believe that if you are willing to work with me to achieve your goals, you can achieve the recovery you truly want
My journey to the present day has been unconventional to say the least. I’ve worked in the mental health field since graduating with my Master’s Degree in 2007. I’ve worked with many different populations in many different settings. Most recently I have been working with clients who desired to end their lives, or who were too sick to go about their daily lives. I’ve also supervised others, taught at a college level, and made presentations to other professionals. In the real world, I’ve worked in the medical field, customer service, and I’ve owned my own business. I believe this varied experience allows me to be more emphatic as well as take a more common sense approach to treatment.
I invite you to take a step toward something difficult and do something that is good for you. You always have the opportunity to go back to the way things were; that isn’t challenging in the least.

I have been in the mental health field for 32 years, providing out-patient services to couples, families and individual over 16 years. I opened Schiller Counseling Services to help people live their best life. I am an upbeat, active therapist who emphasizes a strength based perspective. My education, continued efforts to receive the most up to date training, and life experience results in my ability to connect and support my patients. I offer a welcoming environment allowing my patients to relax and share their thoughts and feelings.
