Special areas of interest are trauma work, including complex trauma treatment, relationship therapy and spirituality.
Issues of life and living can be overwhelming and painful. Navigating relationships, chronic stress, anxiety, traumatic experiences, attachment wounds, complicated family dynamics, and even health conditions may leave you feeling stuck and unable to make change in your life. I want you to know there is hope. Therapy is a path for experiencing relief/healing and restoring deep connection with our self and others. I am passionate about healing that incorporates a deepening of the spirit and the spiritual development that can come through nurturing a resilient nervous system.

While I acknowledge the therapeutic relationship as a valuable path to healing, I recognize it’s not the only method through which change can occur.
During my clinical internship, I gained specialized experience supporting clients through grief and loss, relational conflict, and substance abuse recovery, working with individuals, couples, families, and groups of all ages. While my training has prepared me to work with diverse clients, I’m most effective with: teens and adults navigating grief and loss, newly established couples seeking to build a strong foundation, adult women working through relational trauma, and college-aged individuals exploring their identity.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor and earned a master’s degree in counseling from Virginia Commonwealth University. I view therapy as walking together along two paths. One focused on gaining awareness and understanding of self, and the other focused on learning skills to manage thoughts and emotions and improve relationships. This therapeutic relationship is based on mutual trust, respect, and open feedback in both directions. I use an emotion focused approach rooted in attachment theory along with CBT and ACT models to help individuals and couples create change within themselves and their lives.

Going to therapy can be scary, but it doesn’t have to be. The most important tool in therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. Building that relationship and a level of trust is the first thing we will do together. If you’ve gotten this far, you must be ready for change. Whether it’s unhappiness in a relationship, noticing a pattern or cycle you want to change, or feeling ready to become the best version of yourself. My job is to help support you through this process, and give you perspectives you may not have considered before. I help people connect with their true selves and work towards healing of past traumas.
