My approach is emotionally focused therapy. With the philosophy that the way we were wired often predicts how we will make choices in friends, partners, and work. Exploring our past provides us with insight and motivation to change the present, and look forward to the future we choose.

A Little About Me

 

I am a native of New York, currently residing in Virginia for over 25 years.  I hold a bachelor’s in psychology from Mercy College and a master’s degree in clinical psychology from Virginia State University, currently enrolled at Liberty University pursuing a doctoral degree in Developmental Psychology.  I have approximately 25 years of personal marital experience and I have two adult children; one college graduate and another in the United States Marines.  I believe that family is the primary foundation of our lives and has an impact on our intrapersonal and interpersonal skills.  So, what are you waiting for? Let’s get started on the evolutionary process and work to become the best version of yourself possible.
