Hello and welcome! I am so glad you’re here. You’ve taken the first step, and it’s a big one! There are times where life can feel overwhelming and unmanageable. No matter what you are bringing into counseling with you, I desire to provide you with a safe place where you can confidently feel as though you are being seen, heard, and known.

Hi! In this complex life, we all encounter moments of struggle, whether it's unrelenting anxiety, unfulfilling relationships, the shadows of trauma, the descent of depression, or heartbreaking grief. Yet within all this turmoil, know that you deserve to experience growth & healing. Utilizing a blend of evidence-based techniques & intuitive wisdom, allow me to guide you through these turbulent moments to experience true transformation.

Being human is hard, and we don't get an instruction manual. At times, we get stuck in patterns that prevent us from moving toward our best life. Whether those patterns are thoughts, relationships, past hurts, or habits, therapy provides a safe place to examine those things which are no longer serving us, and the tools to approach these challenges in new ways.

We are an outpatient mental health practice in Blacksburg, Virginia, dedicated to helping patients overcome emotional problems using counseling techniques that promote more rapid recovery than traditional non-directive therapy.

Therapy provides long-lasting benefits and support, giving you the tools you need to avoid triggers, re-direct damaging patterns, and overcome whatever challenges you face.

Accepting individual clients for online therapy. Do you catch yourself in never-ending thought loops that criticize your decisions or past mistakes–wondering if you’ll ever be enough? Have you found yourself thinking that others don't understand you? If so, you're not alone. Sometimes the past has a way of sticking in our brains and it is hard to let go. It may be time to get more support. I would love to see how I can help. When you work with me, you can expect to feel safe, understood, hopeful, and empowered.

I specialize in working with parents and caregivers who are struggling in their relationship with their child. When parenting a challenging child, caregivers can find themselves in cycles of constant conflict, either walking on eggshells and/or lashing out in ways that seem unrecognizable.

Caregivers deserve nonjudgmental support in navigating these difficult relationships, coupled with practical intervention plans that allow them to regain a sense of peace and safety within their homes and themselves.
