Welcome! I'm a licensed therapist in Maryland, Virginia, and D.C. I have experience working with teens, adults, and families coping with symptoms of anxiety and depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, PTSD, and difficult life transitions to find healthy ways to overcome the issues they are facing.
I work with individuals who are navigating stress, self-doubt, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, and past experiences that continue to impact the present. I work with motivated individuals who are balancing a lot and want to feel more grounded and fulfilled.

Welcome, I'm glad you're here. I wear many different hats and enjoy working with adolescents and adults to address low self esteem, communication, anxious thoughts, scattered mind, or boundary setting. I also enjoy working with individuals who may be struggling with financial stress, career fulfillment and burnout, as I believe this is inextricable linked to mental health and wellbeing. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to support you.
I have a passion for working with adolescents and their families, as well as both younger and older adults individually. I enjoy working with clientele from diverse backgrounds and I strive to create a culturally sensitive, inclusive and affirming space.
Hi, and thank you for being here. I’ve worked in the mental health field since 2012, supporting children, teens, and adults through individual, group, and family therapy. I help people with challenges like anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, trauma, and substance use. I'm a National Certified Counselor, Certified DBT Therapist, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor. My goal is to provide a safe space where you feel supported and understood.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on treating acute and relational trauma with teens, individuals, and couples. I have been working as a psychotherapist for over 15 years. I believe that we heal in relationship to another, rather than trying to do it all alone. My style is warm, attentive and an active participant in your healing journey.
I specialize in helping individuals and couples heal from trauma, attachment wounds, and relational pain through an attachment-based, experiential approach rooted in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP).
My work is informed by attachment science and neuroscience, and grounded in the belief that healing happens within safe, emotionally attuned relationships. AEDP recognizes that when emotional pain is met with genuine connection, compassion, and support, the nervous system naturally moves toward healing, integration, and greater resilience.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional
(CCTP) providing outpatient therapy for adults. For more than 22 years, I have been dedicated to
supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those facing complex life
challenges, trauma, ADHD, substance use, military-related challenges, women’s health issues,
legal system involvement, and severe mental health concerns.
I’m a licensed mental health therapist with over 10 years of experience working with individuals across a range of settings. I specialize in anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and relationship concerns, with additional experience in trauma and self-esteem work. My background includes training in evidence-based approaches, and I’m committed to providing a supportive, nonjudgmental space. I view therapy as a collaborative process focused on helping you create meaningful, lasting change.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Richmond
Finding the right therapist in Richmond starts with identifying what kind of care you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or another area, it helps to look for a licensed provider who specializes in those topics. Common provider types include licensed professional counselors (LPCs), licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs), psychologists, and psychiatrists. On Headway, you can read detailed provider bios to learn about their approach, specialties, and what to expect in a session.
Richmond has a wide range of mental health providers, but narrowing your options can take time. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who offers virtual sessions, practices near your neighborhood, or has experience with a specific therapy style like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). A free phone consultation can also help you decide if a provider is the right fit before you commit.
Therapy in Richmond can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per session depending on their coverage. You can enter your insurance information on Headway to see estimated session costs upfront, so you know what to expect before your first appointment.
