Currently accepting young adults, and adults seeking therapy to create a better version of themselves. I work with clients who have a history of trauma and wish to overcome past issues to focus on the here and now. I specialize in short term therapy for those who are struggling with a recent stressor/traumatic event(s), such as an unexpected pregnancy, transition into a new role (parent/promotion), loss of a loved one, serious car accident, loss of job, recent move, diagnosis of a chronic illness, change in family dynamic, etc. My priority for individuals is to promote healing in a safe place where their story can be told.

As a dedicated and compassionate Master of Social Work (MSW) professional currently working towards licensure as a Clinical Social Worker, I am passionate about empowering individuals to overcome life's challenges. I am committed to providing a supportive and growth-oriented space for those seeking guidance and healing. I believe that using tools such as CBT, DBT, solution-focused work, and trauma-informed interventions can allow people the opportunity to grow into the person they desire. I am currently under the supervision of Heather Harper, LCSW, ensuring that I adhere to the highest ethical and professional standards.

Important to functioning in a healthy manner as a human being is the fulfillment of the need to trust and feel safe. Many experiences in life can contribute to feelings of isolation and loneliness, mistrust of self and others, including God or a Higher Power. Fear, resentment and anger contribute to our sense of disconnect. Connection to nurturing, kind and loving relationships are important for healthy functioning. Human beings need to have a sense of belonging, feel they are important to others and are able to accept support from others. Interdependence is the goal.

Asking for help is difficult, as is admitting when we are struggling. My goal is to help all of my clients accept and voice their struggles, no matter what they may be. Improving self esteem, self thought, boundaries, communication, and self care practices while in a safe and empowering environment are just some of the key aspects to improving ones overall mental health. My philosophy, as a clinician, centers on the destigmatization of mental health issues and addiction. Each person is the expert in their own journey. My role is to act as a guide and helper in that journey, not as the authority.

I work with couples who desire to use the Gottman Method to improve their marriages. I will equip you and your spouse to better your communication and conflict resolution patterns, enhance your friendship and cultivate a sense shared meaning with one another.

Currently accepting new clients in Virginia for telehealth therapy. I help women who struggle with traumatic past, life transitions and daily stressors to be the best version of themselves and to start living a more productive and fulfilling life.

We will partner to create a life where you feel strong, independent and equipped to handle life stressors on your own.
