I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the Commonwealths of Virginia and Pennsylvania. I have an MA in Counseling and Development and an MEd in Early Childhood Education. I provide comprehensive psychotherapy services for individuals, couples, adolescents and families. My holistic approach is tailored to meet your unique needs and goals, offering you a safe and supportive environment to navigate life's challenges. My passion is to help individuals, couples and families connect on a heart level, develop strong, trusting relationships, and learn to navigate challenges with concrete skills, grace, and resilience.
My work is rooted in evidence-based methodologies designed to help you achieve your goals. I have trained in attachment theory, IFS, polyvagal theory, somatic healing, Gestalt therapy, Flash technique, EFT, DBT, mindfulness and more. I specialize in working with adults with anxiety, depression, relational issues, CPTSD, and attachment trauma. My work with couples blends concrete pattern mapping and problem solving skills with an understanding of how our old wounds and familial relationships impact our partnerships.
"I first started working with Francine to work thru my anxiety and learn coping strategies, but what I have actually gained is so much more. We have developed a safe, trusted relationship and in her company I can be the most honest, vulnerable, and open version of myself. She is caring and gentle yet also regularly pushes me to explore my feelings and experiences on a deeper level. With her help, I have learned how to notice my patterns, identify my feelings, and self-soothe in a way that has brought me more peace and a better relationship with myself. She's more than just my therapist, she's one of my most reliable mainstays of self-care." KB, client

"I began working with Francine at a time when all I could see and feel in my life was darkness. A year later, my world is much brighter, and my relationship with every part of myself is in repair. It’s difficult to fully express the profound impact she has had 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 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 an incredible insight. She's been instrumental in helping me navigate and work through personal challenges stemming from my childhood, address ongoing struggles within my parenting journey, and even 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."
