LGBT therapists in Leesburg, VA

As your therapist, I create a space where you can slow down and reconnect with yourself. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in belief that meaningful change begins within. Whether you’re managing anxiety, relationship challenges, identity shifts, or past experiences that still affect you, we move at your pace with practical tools and honest conversation.

Trauma, relationship issues, and a lifetime of being misunderstood can profoundly impact our mental health and sense of self. Some of these experiences may be difficult to process on your own, or even say out loud. As a board-certified therapist, I help women with a history of trauma/codependency build confidence; reduce self-harming behaviors; and heal their relationship with themselves.

I am a Virginia Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I have a master’s degree in professional counseling and another in crisis and trauma counseling. I also have over 15 years of experience providing counseling and therapeutic support, so I feel confident that we can find success working together.

I help people heal from trauma, with a special focus on sexual trauma, and I’ve been honored to support a wide range of individuals — including women, men, military veterans, and LGBTQIA clients — as they work through their experiences and take meaningful steps toward healing. I also enjoy helping people work through challenging life transitions (e.g., parenthood, divorce, etc.) and identity-specific concerns (e.g., men's issues, women's issues, gender identity exploration). In addition to individual therapy, I also provide relationship therapy for monogamous, non-monogamous, and open relationships as well as psychological assessment (e.g., ADHD, dementia, learning disorder, mental health) for adults.
