About

Welcome to Find A Therapist! If you are experiencing intense anxiety, relationship issues, depression, and/or just feeling stuck, change is possible. I believe that the relationship between client and therapist opens pathways to healing and clients can discover the truth of their own inner strength and resources. I would like to help you on your journey to explore, learn, and encourage movement towards greater self-awareness, deeper peace, and achieve more meaning and joy from relationships. To achieve these goals, I believe that a customized approach in therapy is most effective in helping people make positive changes in their lives.
My approach includes cognitive-behavioral therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), sensorimotor psychotherapy, and brain science therapies to include neurofeedback/biofeedback. My specialty is working with anxiety disorders to include panic attacks, PTSD, OCD, and generalized anxiety. My experience as a martial arts instructor over 30 years has taught me the importance of meditation and the mind-body connection.

I have over 25 years experience as a psychotherapist, and a graduate of Virginia Tech. I maintained a private practice in the Washington DC area for 18 years, and currently have a practice in Charlottesville, Virginia for the past 8 years. I have previously worked in many settings prior to private practice, to include working for the federal government, a dual diagnostic treatment facility, a high school counselor, and a part-time counselor at UVA.

With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help build on your strengths and attain the personal growth you are committed to accomplishing. I look forward to working with you!
