I am an LCSW in Richmond, Virginia that specializes in providing outpatient counseling to individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and/or their families/caregivers. As your therapist, I aim to create a safe space where we can work together to reduce stressors, learn coping skills/resources and see growth as you gain confidence in your path forward.

Seeking an alternative to traditional therapy? That’s why I’m here. My tools range from innovative new mind-body modalities (e.g., Energy Psychology) to the most ancient spiritual/energetic modality (shamanic healing). These tools enable me to help clients address most of the problems that licensed mental health professionals do – plus some they can’t. And usually do it more efficiently. This is the main reason I almost always have one or more licensed therapists as clients. See the testimonials on my website.

At Adagio House, our focus is empowering caregivers and their differently-abled loved ones. by working with families, children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. We know that every life is uniquely valuable, interwoven with the complexities of both beauty and pain.

There is hope and help. I don’t want you to feel this way another day. Please give me a call to set up a free consultation. Since 2004 my focus has been on helping people live happier lives. I’ve successfully helped couples rediscover their loving relationship. Yes, it can happen! I also provide individual counseling that leads to improved relationships with those around you. The literature on counseling demonstrates the most important ingredient to successful therapy is developing a trustful relationship with the therapist. Feeling safe and accepted allows a person to comfortably share their thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. The therapeutic relationship can be helpful in developing a deeper understanding and self awareness that leads to a more satisfying life. “Ones mind , once stretched by a new idea never returns to it’s original form “ Oliver Wendell Holmes.

I have been in private practice seeing adults and couples since 2004. I love my job and feel so fortunate to be able to work with people on living their best lives. I tailor sessions to the needs of the client- whether setting measurable goals, processing emotions in a safe space, changing habits or increasing self awareness.

I provide a unique, peaceful environment for optimal relaxation. Come in & discover how you can become more relaxed than you've ever known yourself to be. I offer weight loss sessions, so if you're tired of yo-yo dieting and have tried every diet pill available, contact me

Everyone struggles at some time or another. That's life. And when the struggle becomes unmanageable, that's where I come in. As a sensorimotor trained therapist I offer a calming, non-judgmental, and supportive environment to explore your struggles. Part of that exploration may involve how your past intrudes upon your present, and your future. We work together to make sense of what is troubling you so you can become empowered to make the changes that will benefit your life. Are you worth that exploration and making those changes? Absolutely! I look forward to connecting with you.

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.
