“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced” - James Baldwin. I am a good old fashioned hardworking advocate and fighter for the people I support! Facing our problems involves bravery, it takes guts. I don’t know if I would have accomplished so far what I have- if I didn’t do what scares me! I would love to form a relationship built on trust, over time, and stand by your side as we tackle the things that are stealing your joy! You can feel confident with me that I don't give up and that I will get to know you as an individual. Your story is important!

I believe that the most important thing to begin with is listening, to truly begin striving to understand you and see how I can best be of help. I will strive to provide a safe, calm and accepting environment where we can explore those things that may be holding you back from being the person you want to be. I believe deeply that you are the ultimate expert on yourself and the focus of our therapeutic relationship will always be all about you and how we can begin moving towards “your best self.”

If you have ever wondered about your next step or how to move on from the past, I'm here to help. Life can throw unexpected challenges our way, leading some of us to feel as though we are moving not forward, but in circles. If your goals are to better yourself and become a more self-actualized person, then you’ve taken a courageous first step by considering therapy.

I will meet you exactly where you are. I believe that each individual is the expert on their own lives. My sole purpose as your therapist is to guide you with compassion and care to help you unlock your innate inner wisdom and equip you with the tools you need to overcome the trauma of your past.

Everyone has a story, they just need a safe place to share it. I am honored that you have considered me to assist you in navigating this journey!

Life has a way of presenting experiences that can stress our emotions and mental well-being and throw us off balance. Taking those first steps towards therapy exhibit a strength within that should be commended. I can offer you a therapeutic experience that builds on trust, humor, and genuine care.

I have significant experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. I use a strength based perspective believing that each one of us have inherent strengths that can help us manage life. My framework is based on trauma and attachment approaches which emphasize that the stress an individual experiences is usually rooted in a traumatic event that has formed negative beliefs, dysruption of lifestyle, change in family system, or that has helped to develop a less than satisfying parent child relationship. My ideal client is an individual that wants to have a happier life or a family or couple that wants more peace.

Telehealth available to all Virginia residents! Therapy should be like a birdhouse- a safe place in which to seek refuge from the storm of life while you rest your soul, unburden your mind, and rebuild your strength. I strive to provide you with that birdhouse as I help you understand your behavior, organize your mind, let go of unhealthy patterns from the past, develop new skills, and ultimately reveal your best life. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families and thrive on helping my clients unfold their wings and fly.

My intention is to work with individuals who are ready to embark on a journey to explore within themselves what challenges they’re facing and work together to build their resilience and healthy habits. I utilize various techniques in my therapeutic approach because I believe each individual's unique needs calls for various methods to assist them in reaching their goals.

I specialize working with eating disorders, anger/impulse control issues, OCD, victims of narcissistic parent(s), borderline personality, instigators of domestic violence, fear of commitment and/or abandonment. My therapeutic approach is designed to help individuals who are struggling to navigate circumstances with their lives as well as barriers they are struggling to remove. I work to guide my clients through exploration of their behavior patterns to lead healthier lives. I work to challenge old assumptions of themselves while still encouraging my clients to accept themselves.

Everyone wants to feel that they are good enough. The reality though, is that most of us struggle to feel that we are acceptable and lovable just as we are. If you resonate with this, you're not alone. These beliefs tend to operate in the background of your mind, subconsciously influencing your self-esteem, limiting the way you show up in relationships, work and leisure, and creating painful cycles of depression and anxiety. Therapy with me is a safe space to challenge patterns, expand limiting beliefs, heal your inner child, and develop a wise, confident, and secure authentic self to guide you through the ups and downs of life.
