Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Springfield, VA

Hi there! I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 9 years of experience in a variety of settings. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing perinatal mental health concerns, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and relationship challenges that often arise during major life transitions. I prioritize creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I communicate clearly and directly while offering a steady, compassionate presence that invites reflection and growth.

I focus on three areas I have come to know deeply, both clinically and personally: complex and generational trauma, adult children of narcissistic or emotionally immature parents, and prenatal/postpartum mental health. I can appreciate and understand the feeling of the rug being pulled out from under you and having to create a new identity after these experiences.

Together, we explore how inherited patterns shape identity, relationships, and self-worth.

Because I know how painful it can be to live with patterns you did not choose, I offer therapy that is both compassionate and practical, a space where you can feel understood, make sense of your experiences, and begin moving forward with more clarity, self-trust, and intention with you as the lead expert of your experience.

On a personal note, I am happily married and a new mom. I am a lifelong learner and am committed to personal and professional growth through ongoing education, supervision, and therapy.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia, I have worked in the mental health field for over 10 years. Currently, I provide individual and family therapy services to teenagers and adults experiencing mood disorders, anxiety, and trauma, as well as with LBGTQ+ and trans/gender non-conforming (TGNC) folks seeking supportive and affirming care.

I specialize in working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, and the weight of everyday stress. I bring both deep clinical experience and genuine warmth to our work together. My clients often describe feeling heard in a way they haven't before.

Throughout my graduate and professional experiences, I have had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds on issues including anxiety, self-esteem and identity, stress management, and life transitions. As a mother, I also have a passion for supporting expecting and new mothers as they prepare for and adjust to expanding their families. I prioritize developing a supportive, collaborative relationship with each client, helping them feel heard, understood, and empowered as they navigate life’s challenges.
