I believe trusting clients' innate ability to understand and heal themselves. This belief also guides my work with family, couples' and children's issues. I help clients access their own emotional intelligence - awareness that a lack of confidence and support often block. I can help clients discover and articulate their desired change. I use techniques from different traditions - primarily Family Systems, Self and Developmental Psychology, cognitive/behavioral approaches, but believe primarily in the healing power of relationship.

Stuck? Frustrated or overwhelmed? You want to do better at work or school. Maybe relationships are strained. You know you’d like something to change. Everyone else seems to have their life together. Come as you are to counseling. There is nothing you have to do, or be, in order to feel better. Together, we’ll discover what would be a rich and meaningful life for you, and how to get there.

All of the sudden, life feels harder than it should. You are tired of feeling like it is a challenge just to make it from one day to the next. As if you aren’t really living, but merely surviving. Maybe you experienced a trauma or are having trouble getting through the stressors of daily life. You don’t know how to handle what life throws at you. You feel like you are floundering in your life, never truly feeling fulfilled or content. You are losing hope that things will get better.

As you consider a therapist, search for someone who seems to value the things you value, someone who will want to support your life goals; listen to your own sense of who can get you started on the road to healing, recovery, or flourishing; focus on your need to understand what you really want and how to start getting more out of your life. Psychotherapy is like physical therapy; something is injured, not fully developed, or needing to be used differently; the session stretches and strengthens; homework is essential to making progress; if you come consistently, do the homework, you get better. It's a partnership.

Are you feeling stuck & like you need to make changes in your life to be happier & more fulfilled? Do things feel out of balance with your relationship with yourself & others? Do you find it harder to be kind to yourself than a stranger? I have experience in helping teen & adult clients, often going through major life transitions. With a goal to better manage stress and anxiety, work through relationship conflicts, improve motivation, & self esteem. We'll address your whole self, mind, body & spirit, to find a balance through cognitive therapy, as well as mindfulness, encouraging yoga & artistic expression to better know yourself.

I specialize in sexual health, intimacy, and relationships, especially the one we have with self. I am passionate about helping you (and yours) enrich your lives—by empowering you to unpack what’s preventing you from fully embracing all of life’s pleasures. I believe that we all have the intrinsic ability to heal ourselves. In my practice, psychotherapy is a journey of self healing, with me as your guide. Connection is one of our most powerful tools, and through connecting with me, together, we will cultivate transformation and uncover the peace that lies within you.

Are you looking for an affordable therapist with a unique skill set that can help you deal with everyday life stressors? Are you feeling in a downward spiral? Challenged with relationship issues that are weighing you down and your supportive network? If so, you have come to the right place!

Please note that I am only doing telehealth right now, I do not file insurance claims for clients (but can provide the information needed to do so), my 2023 fee is $140 per session, and I am only licensed to work with Virginia residents.

As a licensed therapist I am interested in helping people to overcome their problems and find more meaningful and dignified ways of living. I believe that through the collaborative process of therapy we can change our lives, leading to a renewed, deeper relationship with the world around us. I specialize in treating issues around anxiety and depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship difficulties.

Through therapy, I help couples and families who are hiding behind the pain of trauma by creating a nonjudgmental space to explore and invite healing. People need opportunities to unload their burdens.

Often, memories from the past are debilitating and you feel like you're right back in that overwhelming situation. At times, you wish you could change the past, but you know you can't. What if you could change the way you relate to these memories and take back control over your body and emotions? There has been so much opportunity for your inner critic to speak. A voice in your head constantly criticizes you, and you've had enough. It's time to alter what this voice says. I can help you see your past from the perspective of compassion, not judgment, and learn tools to move forward to an exciting future.

There is no greater joy than assisting clients in finding their strengths and ways to use their strengths to overcome life obstacles by creating a new narrative.
