Therapists » Licensed Professional Counselor
My primary focus is working with first responders, veterans, and their families to manage day to day stressors including issues around parenting, work-life balance, and issues including depression and anxiety. I am a perinatal mental health counselor with extensive training in working with individuals (and couples) during the pregnancy and postpartum period and navigating parenting in the early childhood years. In addition, I have a passion for supporting caregivers/parents with children with mental health disorders. My specialities include perinatal mental health conditions including birth trauma, miscarriage/stillbirth, postpartum anxiety, PTSD, and postpartum depression. In addition, I have training in EMDR, TIR (traumatic incident reduction), and CISM. I am a certified CBT for psychosis provider. Lastly, for caregivers, my work is based in the LEAP model. I believe that success in therapy is determined largely by the connection built between the participant and the therapist. Let’s talk to determine if we’re a good fit! If it's not a good match, I can refer you to other clinicians at our practice, Ellie Mental Health - Chantilly.
