Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 6.4 mi away • Norfolk, VA


We all encounter difficulty in life; it’s inevitable. Nowadays, we have the knowledge to know it takes more than physical health, or good nutrition to be well. In order to have a fulfilling life, we must take care of all aspects of our lives. At times, all we need is to lean into our own resources to cope. Other times we need a neutral person to place adequate tools in our path to help us move forward and thrive.

I apply a holistic and person-centered approach to therapy. I recognize that by creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic environment, clients can learn to redefine dysfunctional boundaries, to reconnect with a sense of meaning for their lives, and to ultimately make lasting changes in their lives and relationships. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in navigating life transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, gender identity, sexual identity, trauma, OCD, narcissistic abuse, adult children of emotionally immature parents, and relationship strain.
