I'm a licensed therapist in Virginia with extensive experience supporting individuals through some of life's most challenging experiences. I work with clients across the lifespan, with particular expertise in trauma and abuse, depression, and addiction recovery.
My approach is grounded in compassion and authenticity. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore difficult emotions and experiences—including grief, shame, guilt, and feelings of abandonment. I'm skilled at helping clients navigate communication struggles, social anxiety, codependency patterns, and control issues, while building genuine self-compassion and resilience. I've supported young adults through identity questions and life transitions, as well as individuals navigating postpartum depression and the complexities of mood disorders. Whether you're healing from trauma, working through addiction, or simply seeking to understand yourself more deeply, I'm here to walk alongside you with honesty and care. My therapeutic style is collaborative and person-centered. I believe you are the expert of your own experience, and my role is to offer skilled support as you move toward healing and growth. Taking the step to seek therapy takes courage, and I'm honored to be part of your journey.
Sometimes I will set goals for you to work on in between sessions. These goals will be things you identified during your session as possible steps that might help you move forward.
