Lifechanging Counseling
Help for Anxiety, Career, or School Stress
Do you feel like you never have enough time in the day? Would you like to relax more and have fun? Do you have difficulty concentrating and making decisions? Are you having problems sleeping or do you feel tired and fatigued even when you get enough sleep? Are you overwhelmed, anxious or nervous? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions - please call me - I would love to help you. I have evening and Saturday appointments available, and accept credit and medical debit cards. Please contact me today to begin changing your life.
In my counseling, I help you heal your heart, soul, mind and spirit by building on your strengths and changing your negative thoughts. I provide Christian counseling for those who are interested. If you are ready to make changes in your life and start growing stronger, please call me.

Bio
I have been working in the counseling field since 1995 and started working as a Licensed Professional Counselor in a counseling practice in Manassas, VA in 2004. I opened a Fairfax/Merrifield office in 2009. I enjoy helping teenagers and adults who are stressed and depressed, and also specialize in Christian counseling for those looking for a Christian counselor in Manassas, VA and Fairfax, VA.
The reason that I work as a Licensed Professional Counselor is because I believe that change is possible and I want to help you make positive changes in your life. Change and growth keep us focused on our goals and moving in a positive direction. It can be difficult and sometimes scary, but I will guide you through the process and will help encourage you by focusing on your strengths and changing your negative belief systems.
I enjoy helping teenagers and adults explore career decisions because working as a Licensed Professional Counselor is my second career. After working as an engineer for the federal government for many years, I realized that I needed a more service oriented position. I discovered that I prefer working with people to projects, and wanted to help make a difference in the life of someone like you. I quit my job and moved to Dallas TX to attend graduate school in counseling at Dallas Theological Seminary. After graduating with honors, I worked as a career counselor, nonprofit coordinator, home-based family counselor and county mental health intake therapist while working towards licensure.
