I’m a warm, grounded therapist who values honest, direct conversation. With me, you’ll get real support, a gentle push when it helps you grow, and a plan that feels realistic for your life. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, stress, and major life transitions. I also help clients with substance use, self-esteem, women’s issues, and relationship challenges, including healing after infidelity. My approach is collaborative and tailored to you. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand and reshape the patterns affecting how you feel, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a well-researched approach for healing from trauma, and mindfulness to help you feel more centered day to day. Our work goes beyond easing symptoms. Together we’ll build coping skills, resilience, and confidence so you can meet life with more balance, purpose, and self-understanding. Whether you’re processing the past, managing a full plate right now, or making changes for the future, we’ll create a path forward that feels meaningful and sustainable. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia, and I offer weekend appointments and select weekday evenings so therapy fits around your life. Whenever you’re ready, I’d be glad to hear from you.
