Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Fredericksburg, VA

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on treating acute and relational trauma with teens, individuals, and couples. I have been working as a psychotherapist for over 15 years. I believe that we heal in relationship to another, rather than trying to do it all alone. My style is warm, attentive and an active participant in your healing journey.

​

​

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) licensed mental health professional and clinical supervisor with more than 18 years of experience supporting individuals across the lifespan. I provide telehealth services to clients in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Virginia.

My experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I believe that each person brings unique strengths, abilities, and experiences to their journey, and I strive to create a supportive, compassionate, and collaborative space where you can feel heard and understood.

My goal is to work alongside you to navigate challenges, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to support your mental health and overall well-being. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward greater health and wellness.

Currently accepting new clients.

I am licensed in Virginia with 13 years of professional work experience. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

I work primarily with individuals and couples who need assistance in learning what to do when difficult emotions appear. I work with couples navigating the same arguments over and over or individuals wondering, "Why does this feel so hard?" Areas of specialty include:

• Anger and areas of conflict
• Cycles of closeness and withdraw
• Emotional distance and disengagement
• Healing from affairs
• Lack of trust and insecurities
• Dating
• Premarital counseling
• Separation and divorce
• Parenting issues
• Power and control issues

Finding the right therapist, and starting therapy, can be both exciting and perhaps overwhelming. But your story matters--it is unique to you.

I can help with solving current struggles, as well as past wounds which may contribute to distress. I help those who want deeper insight into those areas they feel stuck; negative patterns of relating; or feeling blocked from living their best life.

Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to being the one who holds things together for everyone else. I work with teens and adults who may look capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or disconnected on the inside. Many of my clients are insightful and thoughtful people who want more than quick coping strategies — they want to understand themselves more deeply and experience real, lasting change.
