I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Commonwealths of Virginia and Pennsylvania, and a trauma certified psychotherapist. With an MA in Counseling and Development and an MEd in Early Childhood Education, I offer comprehensive psychotherapy services for individuals, couples, adolescents, and families. My holistic approach to therapy is tailored to meet your unique needs and goals, providing a safe and supportive environment to navigate life's challenges. My passion lies in helping individuals, couples, and families connect on a heart level, develop strong, trusting relationships, and learn to overcome obstacles with practical skills, grace, and resilience.
My work is grounded in evidence-based methodologies designed to help you achieve your goals. I have received training in attachment theory, IFS, polyvagal theory, somatic healing, Gestalt therapy, Flash technique, EFT, DBT, mindfulness, and more. I specialize in working with adults facing anxiety, depression, relational issues, CPTSD, and attachment trauma. My work with couples combines concrete pattern mapping and problem-solving skills with an understanding of how our past wounds and familial relationships influence our partnerships.
I first started working with Francine to address my anxiety and learn coping strategies, but what I have actually gained is so much more. As a Licensed Professional Counselor who utilizes a holistic approach to therapy, we have developed a safe, trusted relationship. In her company, I can be the most honest, vulnerable, and open version of myself. She is caring and gentle yet consistently encourages me to explore my feelings and experiences on a deeper level. With her guidance as a trauma certified psychotherapist, I have learned how to notice my patterns, identify my feelings, and self-soothe in a way that has brought me more peace and fostered a better relationship with myself. She's more than just my therapist; she’s one of my most reliable mainstays of self-care.

"I began working with Francine, a Licensed Professional Counselor, at a time when all I could see and feel in my life was darkness. Following her holistic approach to therapy, my world is much brighter a year later, and my relationship with every part of myself is in repair. As a trauma certified psychotherapist, she has had a profound impact on my journey, and I am immensely grateful. Guiding people towards finding hope is one of the greatest gifts anyone can offer the world." LL, client
Francine is an amazing Licensed Professional Counselor. From our very first session, she has consistently shown incredible respect, empathy, and patience, creating a safe and trusting environment where I felt truly heard. Francine possesses remarkable insight as a trauma certified psychotherapist. She's been instrumental in employing a holistic approach to therapy that has helped me navigate and work through personal challenges stemming from my childhood, address ongoing struggles within my parenting journey, and gain clarity and strategies in my professional world. Her guidance was particularly invaluable during the difficult time after my mom's passing.
Thanks to Francine's compassionate and insightful counseling over the past two years, I can confidently say I am 100% a better person. Her support has been transformative.
