Introduction

I am a licensed professional counselor from Virginia with over 10 years of experience providing quality healthcare and mental health services to people of all ages, from children to older adults. My areas of expertise include helping clients manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, serious mental illness, relationship issues, and other life challenges. My goal is to support you in healing, finding renewed energy, and discovering your inner strengths. Whether you’re facing challenges like depression, stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, difficult relationships, parenting conflicts, or unhelpful patterns from the past—or if you simply want to achieve a personal goal—I believe there is hope and a way forward. I am here to help you find clarity, peace, and emotional well-being on your journey. Every client’s experience is tailored to their individual goals and desired outcomes. I bring a warm, approachable, and genuine presence to my work, making it easy for clients to open up about anything on their minds. People often describe me as enthusiastic yet relaxed, which helps create a comfortable environment for meaningful conversations. Together, we’ll lay out all the “puzzle pieces” of your life, step back to see the bigger picture, identify what might be holding you back, and develop practical strategies to move forward.
