I was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; also known as the city of brotherly love. Being from the city, I am used to noisy crowds, lively culture, and endless opportunities to experience rich history. In Winchester and Front Royal, I now enjoy small-but-close communities centered on family. I am passionate about education and learning, specifically in the mental health field and decided to complete my master's in mental health counseling. When I was younger I wanted to be a teacher and a writer, with the latter still being my unfulfilled dream. I have been with NCG since 2009 and I have been fortunate to be able to pursue my passion.... not in the classroom, but where teaching really begins... in the home. For me, providing care and helping families and individuals to navigate through life’s challenges--by discovering their inner strengths and surrounding resources--has proven to be deeply rewarding and fulfilling. 

Remember, Your Care Starts Now with NCG!

Clinical Supervisor

I have spent my career of 27 years in the Chicagoland area. I have served all populations
experiencing mental health challenges and poverty in an urban setting. During my free time I
rehabilitate parrots that have been abandoned, abused or neglected. I have established a non
profit sanctuary for these beautiful animals. My greatest accomplishment was establishing a
successful private practice.

Leaving that behind I have returned to my hometown of Winchester where I graduated from
John Handley High School in 1984. In January 2019 I was excited to join the NCG team and
give back to my community.

Empowerment, hope and sometimes medication are keys to wellness. Let’s move beyond
the stigma of mental illness. This is my mission.

Clinical Supervisor

I joined NCG in 2007 as a community based counselor and became a supervisor for home based and skill building services in 2008. My passion is working with young children, utilizing play and art to assist children with expression of feelings. I enjoy spending time outside with my husband and daughter, especially when enjoying the breathtaking views of the Shenandoah Valley in the fall.

Clinical Supervisor

Originally from Maryland, I have enjoyed living in Virginia since 2001. I received my master's in social work from the University of Maryland at Baltimore and loved doing geriatric case managment for the Baltimore County Health Department until my first child was born. After taking some time off to raise children, I re-entered the field and was blessed to be hired by National Counseling Group in 2008. I currently work supervising and training staff, completing assessments, and providing outpatient counseling.

Clinical Supervisor

I was born and raised in Front Royal, VA and absolutely love that I still live in the Shenandoah Valley and have the opportunity to make a positive impact in our area. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have enjoyed the experience of counseling in the home, private practice, and school settings. I am very passionate about working with families and am blessed to have a wonderful family of my own- my husband and our two sweet children. I love spending time with them as well as my extended family. My free time is otherwise spent volunteering with Young Life in Warren County, hanging out with friends, and taking fun classes at the gym.
