Great to meet you!

You're used to holding it all together, but lately something feels off. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, depressed, struggling with self-esteem, perfectionism, performance anxiety, stress, or a major life transition. On the outside, you may appear successful, high-functioning, and capable while internally feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of your next step. Therapy helps you gain clarity, build coping skills, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with yourself. I offer in-person therapy and sports performance counseling in Richmond's Fan District and virtual therapy throughout Virginia.

My approach to therapy

Therapy with me goes beyond talking through problems. I help clients understand their nervous system, build practical coping skills, and create lasting change. Using CBT, mindfulness, sports performance therapy, and HRV biofeedback, I help individuals manage anxiety, depression, stress, build resilience, and improve well-being.

What you can expect from me

Whether you're facing stress, anxiety, depression, burnout, perfectionism, relationship challenges, or a life transition, you don't have to navigate it alone. Together, we'll uncover what's holding you back and build practical strategies to help you feel more grounded, resilient, confident, and connected to the life you want.
