Great to meet you!

Hello! I am Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia. I have a Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Virginia Tech. I am a certified EMDR therapist. I have experience in working with adults and children on depression, anxiety, trauma, life's transitions, self-esteem, and ADHD.

My approach to therapy

I believe that counseling creates the opportunity for individuals to learn, grow, and eventually thrive. By building a trusting relationship with my clients, I have confidence that change can happen. I understand that each individual is unique and deserves to have a fulfilling life.

What you can expect from me

During our first session, my goal is to get to know you and understand how we can collaboratively work together to accomplish your mental health goals. Therapy can be a powerful relationship, and we work together to ensure that you are getting what you need out of our sessions.
