Each person has a unique story and their therapeutic process will be equally unique. The relationship between therapist and client is a strong factor in productive and deep work. It is what transpires in this relationship that can transform our lives and bring about the awareness we need to accept our authentic selves.

I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, anxiety, adjustment issues, college and career readiness, couples, depression, family dynamics, gender identity, identity development, LGBT+, non-traditional relationships, men's issues.
I am a licensed professional counselor in Virginia with 12 years of professional work experience. When I work with clients, listening to understand instead of hearing to respond is a priority. I believe it is imperative that I develop a sound understanding of my client's subjective worldview to meet them where they are and disrupt maladaptive thoughts and patterns of behavior. My objective is to collaborate with my clients in order to help them identify, address, and resolve matters that reinforce and/or contribute to their presenting concern(s).

Have you recently experienced a major life change--maybe the death of a loved one, an unexpected traumatic event, a new medical diagnosis, changes to your identity, a shift in your career opportunities, or the loss of a major relationship? My focus as a psychologist is on partnering with patients as they move through major life transitions and helping them tap into their inner wisdom to cope with this transition they move forward. I love working with adult clients (ages 18 and up) in areas of identity, coping with grief/loss, relationships, stress, depression, and adjusting to medical diagnoses and chronic pain.

My compassionate, yet direct style, is rooted in my diverse career and training background.
Therapy is meant for when you realize you are no longer where you were, not yet where you want to be, but ready to get on your way. As a therapist, I focus on building a sincere relationship, where within that space you can safely explore your fears, sorrows, anger, and aspirations. I will provide unconditional support as you discover your authentic self, build resilience to life’s stressors, strengthen your relationships, and reconnect to a sense of purpose as you move forward.

In our lives, we can reach depths that seem impossible to climb out of. In those moments, we tend to turn to our most trusted supports, be it a friend, a family member, or a coworker. However, what happens when, try as they might, those individuals cannot quite fill our cups the way we need? Sometimes we need something or someone different, that's where therapy can help. If you've reached an unbearable depth because of family conflict, past trauma, career or academic related issues, or just daily stressors, I can assist with being the ladder out of the darkness.

I have a range of experience working within higher levels of care and cultural-specific community mental health settings with a focus on mood and anxiety disorders, identity-based challenges, academic and career-based stressors, and overall challenges around life transitions.
Many times we navigate through the world feeling lost, alone, and even scared. We may tell ourselves that "nobody understands me," "nobody loves me," or "people have it much worst than I do, so why do I deserve to be kind to myself." Many of us tell ourselves some sort of variation of these things from time to time. Some of us may tell ourselves these statements on the daily basis. Come join me as we explore your relationship with yourself as well as your relationship with others.
