I specialize in cultivating a healing atmosphere where you can heal from trauma and loss, overcome depression and anxiety, increase self-confidence, eliminate shame and uncover your true identity. As we do this work together and as you begin to release your pain, we will also make space for you to connect with your best and whole self – emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually, and relationally.

You have the power and right to feel free, live whole-heartedly, and to walk in health. I am committed to being an attuned, responsive and engaged guide who will help you work towards the changes and healing that you desire in your life. Clients experience me as warm, grounded, attuned and empathetic while also focused on the change you seek.

Owner, Founder & Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist 

Meet Ruth

I received my M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Virginia Tech. I also hold a Master’s in Educational Psychology with a concentration in Evaluation, Assessment and Testing from George Mason University. In the past nine years, I have provided individual, couples and family therapy in a variety of clinical settings to include private practices, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, home-based and outpatient settings. 

I am certified in Prepare-Enrich, trained in Level 1 and Level 2 of Gottman Couples Therapy, trained to Core Skills level in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. I have completed trainings in Solution-focused therapy and advanced trainings in trauma recovery. I also have completed advanced training in maternal mental health concerns.

I have found a unique niche and passion in working with women individually and bring a unique relational and brief solution-focused lens to our sacred work. Presently, I provide individual counseling, healing groups for women and trauma-informed master classes to health care professionals. Wherever you may in your life stage of womanhood, I consider it an honor and privilege to journey alongside you.
