I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in outpatient therapy, school-based counseling, multisystemic work, clinical assessments, and substance use counseling. I’ve worked with individuals and families across a variety of settings, allowing me to bring both clinical expertise and real-world understanding into the therapy space.
I specialize in working with teens, adults, parents, and helping professionals navigating stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and behavioral challenges. I also support parents seeking guidance and practical tools to better understand and manage their child or teen’s behavior.
I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood. Our work will be collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, with a focus on helping you feel more confident, in control, and equipped to handle life’s challenges. For those who prefer it, I offer faith-integrated counseling that incorporates Christian values into the therapeutic process.
I hope to help you transform those painful, self-limiting beliefs and old patterns into realistic and affirming ones. The process I most often use incorporates bilateral stimulation of the brain. This is a simple technique that often has profound results. It has been shown to move clients very quickly towards the core healing, which is central to lasting results. One of the key benefits of this therapy is the ability to approach new situations /people with creativity, clarity, and new problem-solving techniques. This often occurs spontaneously as part of the process.
Solution-Focused and goal oriented female professional.

I take a holistic, person-centered approach, combining clinical expertise with genuine compassion to support my clients' journey to restoration.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Vienna
Searching for therapists in Vienna starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. Bios can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that may fit what you are looking for.
Vienna is a smaller city within a larger Northern Virginia care market, so local in-person openings may vary by schedule and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Virginia. When narrowing your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before you book can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus in one place.
Therapy in Vienna can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more accessible. Headway helps you find therapists who take insurance, show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and offer in-person or virtual appointments when available. You can review therapist bios, confirm your coverage for your plan and location, and book directly when you are ready.
