About Francine
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and Pennsylvania
Connection. Relationship. Love.
This is what it means to be human. And yet, in our fast-paced, demanding world, feeling truly connected can be surprisingly difficult.
We all stumble. Many of us were never shown what healthy relationship looks like— intimacy, vulnerability, honesty, and yes, sometimes pain and conflict. My early years as a therapist focused on attachment between parents and children. Over time, through continued learning and experience, I’ve come to understand how deeply we need these same forms of attachment and attunement throughout adulthood.
Joy and meaning emerge when we lean into vulnerability and cultivate intimacy—with ourselves and with others. As we learn to stay present during life’s more difficult moments, we grow. In our work together, I support you in connecting with your inner world and sharing yourself authentically in relationship. This process is often central to healing pain and suffering, that can show up as depression, anxiety, and addiction
Supporting Your Journey
.
I bring my lived experience, compassion, and empathy into our therapeutic relationship. Together, we will gently explore and release old, unhelpful patterns and develop tools that allow pain to become a catalyst for growth.
My work is grounded in a systemic approach and informed by attachment theory, trauma resolution, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), somatic modalities, DBT, holistic therapies, yoga, and mindfulness. I meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you move toward greater connection, resilience, and wholeness..
