Hi! I'm Shealyn!

A behaviorist by nature my approach includes trauma informed care with sessions structured around providing goal directed, solution focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I have worked in a variety of settings across diverse age ranges and cultural backgrounds including the federal government, group homes, group therapy, play therapy, and intensive-in home support. My work at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center focused on caregiving and the dynamics of traumatic brain injury on service members and their families. This experience led me to pursue my clinical social work degree.

I’m a firm believer that our mind body connection is the building blocks of both our physical and mental health. In my free time I find myself fostering that connection by spending time with my husband, children and dogs, traveling, reading, working out or engaging in photography. I love college basketball, live music, a good cup of cold brew coffee and a solid porch swing. As a native of Northern Virginia and the spouse of a US Marine Corps Veteran, I am dedicated to the continued support of military families and my local community.
