I was raised on a South Texas ranch where hard work, resilience, and showing up for people became my foundation—values that still guide my work as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). After moving to Virginia in 2005, I've spent nearly a decade supporting individuals through life's most challenging seasons, including military members, first responders, healthcare workers, and survivors of domestic violence. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, grief, and the unique stressors that come with high-responsibility roles like health care or military service. My approach blends evidence-based methods—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-focused work—with a strength-based, culturally sensitive lens. I'm committed to creating a space where you feel truly heard and respected, so you can process what's weighing on you and reconnect with your own resilience. I work with young adults through elders, offer both telehealth and in-person sessions, and accept TRICARE East, Sentara Health Plans, and Aetna. I'm currently accepting new clients and would be honored to support your journey.
