I use an eclectic approach with an emphasis on interpersonal relations focusing on what works best for clients. I am actively involved in the process of inviting clients to explore curiosities, moving away from negative beliefs and self -judgements towards a place of understanding, integration and acceptance. I believe engaging clients on their terms is critical to creating a comfortable environment to discuss any issues of concern. I engage clients to explore and understand how their past influences the present , as well as patterns of behaviors and functioning that may both interfere and support their current life situations.

In the hustle and bustle of today's world, achieving balance can often feel like an elusive goal. My philosophy revolves around the belief that a balanced life is not about perfection, but rather about finding harmony amidst the various dimensions of your life – be it work or school, relationships, self-care, or personal growth.

My ideal client is someone who feels that they are facing difficulties in their mental health and would like some help and outside perspective. I want to help clients with a huge variety of issues and struggles, from many different backgrounds. I will learn alongside them on the best ways to help and provide support. For my clients, I know that it is a difficult thing to share about deeply personal issues, so I only ask that they take a brave step and be willing to talk a little about what is bringing them in

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia and Florida. I received my Masters from Boston University and have been practicing for 3 years. My areas of focus in counseling include relationship difficulties, depression/anxiety, adjusting to life changes, parenting concerns, and difficult family dynamics. If you are looking for a compassionate and understanding counselor who is committed to helping you reach your goals, we may be a good fit!

Do you want to experience greater freedom from anxiety, depression, or negative thoughts? Are you feeling frustrated, misunderstood, or unappreciated in your close relationships? Have you tried therapy before but did not get the results you were hoping for? With understanding and compassion for yourself, you can break free of negative thoughts, self-limiting beliefs, and harmful habits. You can learn communication methods to bring you closer to others, without sacrificing yourself. Together we will discover a deeper source of strength that is uniquely yours. I can help you tap this well to find joy, contentment, and harmonious relationships.

I believe that recovery is possible for everyone and healing occurs best in the context of an authentic, trusting relationship. Many of my clients come to me after other approaches have not worked for them. We work not only to manage distressing symptoms, but also to break enduring patterns related to identity, relationships, emotional expression, and safety that often stem from earlier experiences where we felt unsafe, out of control, or invalidated. In therapy we work to make meaning out of past experiences, break those patterns, learn more about ourselves, and move towards the life we want.

Feeling uncertain about your next steps? Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, dealing with a significant life change, or facing mental health struggles, it's normal to feel overwhelmed. These difficulties can be especially complex for diverse or marginalized communities, including LGBTQIA+ individuals and those involved in ethically non-monogamous relationships.

Feeling tired of your current therapist? Or just stuck? Let's get real – life can be tough. It’s especially hard on ambitious people, parents & perfectionists who are expected to have it all together. The more successful you are (or are expected to be), the more difficult it is to keep it all together. Add anxiety, depression, & relationship issues – forget it. And the more that you achieve, the harder it becomes to find a therapist at your level or solutions that work for your complex issues. But I'm not here to hand out generic advice or quick fixes. I'm here to help you uncover the root of your challenges & build lasting changes.

You might be facing common challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship difficulties. You hold a desire for growth but need a safe, non-judgmental space to express yourself, receive validation and learn tools to manage your symptoms. Your goals may include reducing immediate distress, processing past traumas, increasing motivation and developing healthier coping skills. You want a place you can show up to feel heard and understood, with a therapist that you can laugh and cry with comfortably. More than anything, you want to walk out of sessions feeling lighter than you felt coming in and luckily - that’s possible!

Often difficult life experiences like pain, suffering, confusion, intense emotions, and things just not going right bring us to therapy. Sometimes it's our relationship with ourselves, or with significant others or family members that creates the pain point. It can also be a specific event (breakup, move, feeling left out socially) or a specific felt experience (sad, lonely, angry, scared). AND although it can feel otherwise, there's no shame in receiving support. My hope is that therapy helps you experience greater self-acceptance, compassion, and ease with yourself and your life - it's a worthy and doable endeavor.

As a therapist, I work primarily from a relational dynamic perspective and I use human diversity and social justice lenses to further inform my work. This means that I place particular emphasis on emotions and relationships, and that I strive to be emotionally present and available for authentic connection. It is my belief and experience that the work and healing of therapy occur within this connection. Therapy is thus a collaborative process of building an affirming relationship that leads to meaningful change.

I believe that healing is ongoing, met by exploring what feels vulnerable. I feel called to supportively hold space for adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma symptoms, and relationship challenges. My clients and I work through issues that are impacting their relationships and life. I serve as a guide for my clients as they work on shifting how they view themselves and the world we share through improving self-esteem, self-worth, and relational dynamics. I find value in processing how life experiences have shaped who we are and who we are becoming. My approach is depth-based, with a focus on attachment theory.

Are you having difficulty with managing transitions in your life? If you have experienced these feelings, you are not alone. Even the strongest people need help sometimes.

I specialize in sexual health, intimacy, and relationships, especially the one we have with self. I am passionate about helping you (and yours) enrich your lives—by empowering you to unpack what’s preventing you from fully embracing all of life’s pleasures. I believe that we all have the intrinsic ability to heal ourselves. In my practice, psychotherapy is a journey of self healing, with me as your guide.
