I have a profound personal connection to the journey of recovery and am committed to assisting others in navigating this path. My professional experience spans a range of areas, including substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, and co-occurring conditions such as trauma. At Synergy Counseling LLC, the Caron Treatment Center’s Northern Virginia location, and New Paradigm Recovery, I have had the opportunity to support clients in both partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient settings.

These experiences have reinforced my dedication to a trauma-informed approach and the integration of 12-step programs into care, all aimed at delivering a holistic and compassionate treatment experience. My passion for working with individuals experiencing unresolved trauma and clinically treatable PTSD prompted me to pursue training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). This training, completed in January 2022 through the EMDRIA-approved Center for Excellence in EMDR Therapy, utilized evidence-based telehealth methods to provide EMDR therapy to clients virtually. By combining these approaches, I strive to foster an environment that promotes healing and resilience.

I am dedicated to empowering clients and guiding them towards relief and freedom from their symptoms by addressing underlying triggers, fears, and maladaptive patterns within a collaborative and supportive relationship. My commitment is to serve diverse populations of adolescents and adults, utilizing an evidence-based, multidisciplinary approach to therapy. The modalities we can explore together may include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and other personalized therapeutic interventions tailored to meet your specific needs. Together, we can work towards achieving your goals and enhancing your overall well-being.
