I am experienced in treating PPD/PPA, pregnancy loss, birth trauma, and related concerns. I am trained in EMDR with a focus on the perinatal period.

I also work with those experiencing difficulties related to ADHD, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I know life can feel overwhelming at times, and asking for help isn’t always easy. My goal is to create a welcoming space where you can share openly without fear of judgment. I believe in walking alongside you with compassion, encouragement, and practical tools for growth.
I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2017 and my Master of Social Work in 2019. My clinical experience spans a wide range of settings, including medical social work, OBGYN/postpartum care, community mental health, emergency services crisis intervention and stabilization, pre-liver transplant support, and child welfare. These experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the resilience people show during some of their most challenging moments.
I believe that all people have the innate capacity to heal. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel empowered to share their stories and process trauma in a way that fosters growth, clarity, and emotional well-being. I utilize trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR and parts work. I focus on teaching practical, effective coping skills that clients can use in their daily lives.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Charlottesville
Finding the right therapist in Charlottesville starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Therapists in the area work with a wide range of concerns — from anxiety, depression, and trauma to relationship stress, life transitions, and postpartum mental health. Some providers specialize in specific approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Knowing whether you want talk therapy, couples counseling, or medication management from a psychiatrist can help you narrow your search.
Beyond specialty, practical details matter. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions at a Charlottesville office or virtual appointments from home. Check that a provider is licensed in Virginia and currently accepting new patients. Reading a provider's bio — including their approach, background, and what a first session looks like — can help you feel more confident before booking.
Therapy in Charlottesville can be expensive without insurance coverage. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session depending on their plan. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs upfront before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits your needs and is covered by your plan.
