Site Director

I have always enjoyed learning about others; finding out what they value and empowering them to make choices that lead them to accomplish goals they themselves have created. Playing this role is my life's passion, along with spending time with my daughter. Not to mention being a total comic book nerd; I could spend all day at the local comic shop talking with the other customers and to the owner about the comic industry! I am also always up for a game of chess, ping pong, or tennis.

Assistant Site Director

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

My passion for helping others started when I was in High School and was able to be part of a Teen Helpline for students who are going through a tough time and needing support. I have been working in the Human Services field for over 7 years now, previously working at DSS, VICAP, intensive in-home, and mental health supports. I now supervise TDT services for Frederick County and have an awesome team of co-workers! In my spare time, I enjoy reading and watching British TV.

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.
