You don't have to carry grief, a breakup, or relationship pain alone. Maybe you're needing help with an important decision or need creative solutions to challenges. In therapy we can make sense of what's happening.

I'm licensed in Virginia and Florida. I have advanced training in Parts Work, trauma treatment, EMDR and couples counseling. I bring a thoughtful, creative, and collaborative approach to therapy. I speak Spanish fluently. También hablo español.

I strive to be inclusive and affirming of diverse identities and experiences, and have over 13 years of experience in mental health. If you’re looking for a therapist who will meet you with warmth, depth, and respect, and work alongside you toward resonance, healing and growth, I invite you to reach out.

Hi there—I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regent University. I work with adults facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, past trauma, relationship struggles, and substance use. My style is warm, supportive, and down-to-earth. I use tools from CBT, DBT, and other evidence-based approaches, but most importantly, I meet you where you are—no pressure, no judgment.

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real, human connection. You don’t have to be in crisis to reach out, and you don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just trying to understand yourself better, I’m here to help you explore what’s going on and find new ways to cope and move forward.

On a personal note, I know what it’s like to go through hard seasons and come out the other side. That lived experience helps me show up with empathy and honesty. If you're looking for someone who will listen without judgment and walk with you as you work toward real, lasting change—I'm here.
