Our goal is to help you and your loved ones find effective ways to cope with the struggles of life. At Stribling Counseling Services, we believe that it is important to treat the whole person: emotionally, physically, socially, intellectually, and spiritually. Counseling is part of a comprehensive plan to restore or improve your overall well-being or that of your loved ones.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families who are facing emotional and behavioral difficulties. I work with each individual and family to find unique solutions to these difficulties. After undergraduate work at the University of Richmond (BS, 1988), I earned a Master's Degree in Social Work (MSW) from Virginia Commonwealth University.
Since then, I have worked in both the public and private sectors, with a focus on children and adolescents. My clinical experience includes work with young people who are facing serious issues of life such as divorce, as well as with traumatized children and those diagnosed with ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, Developmental Disorders, and Oppositional/Defiant Disorder.

Counseling can provide the guidance and support that will help you through traumatic events and stressful periods in your life.
Many of us might try to cope with our stresses by using unhealthy coping mechanisms such as alcohol or drugs, smoking, or by abusing eating habits (too much or too little).
Instead of recognizing the stress or anxiety and learning ways to effectively adjust, these behaviors may make things worst, physically and mentally and can cause a cascade of additional issues by adding to your original "stressors."

Human relationships are formed and built on shared understandings, compassion, trust and values.
Each person in a relationship depends on the other to both maintain, and develop, their initial sense of "togetherness".
With the ordinary challenges of life, over time, many couples come to feel they have lost that original "mission statement of togetherness".
We find that couples experiencing distress recover and grow when they learn and practice patterns of good communication.
In our practice we teach couples how to communicate in a "back to the basics" manner.
