I’m laid back with a good sense of humor, and I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable enough to be yourself. My style is calm, collaborative, and goal-oriented, and I put real effort into building a relationship where you feel heard and respected. For me, success looks like you feeling less afraid to take small steps forward. I work with adults (18+) on anxiety, depression, and everyday stress, and I offer an affirming space for LGBTQIA+ clients. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and person-centered therapy, all grounded in truly listening and meeting you without judgment. Before becoming a counselor, I spent years supporting children and families in schools, early childhood programs, special education, and home-based settings, and I’ve also trained as a domestic violence advocate. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with a master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Argosy University. I see clients Monday through Thursday at our Stafford office or online throughout Virginia, and Fridays at our Fredericksburg office. If you’re ready to take that first small step, I’d be glad to meet you.
