Therapists in 23227
Many clients I work with are capable, thoughtful people who’ve spent years managing on their own, thinking their way through problems, holding it together for others, and pushing emotions aside until they become too loud to ignore. Despite insight and effort, they feel stuck in the same patterns.
In therapy, I focus on building a relationship where you feel safe exploring what’s happening beneath the surface and supported in taking emotional risks that lead to real change. If you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, or repeating relationship patterns, therapy can be a space to move beyond coping and toward clarity and relief.

If you have tried therapy before but it didn’t reach all the parts of you that needed care, you are in the right place. I primarily work with adults for whom traditional talk therapy brought insight but not relief. I specialize in developmental (or complex) trauma, attachment issues, neurodivergence, giftedness, and LGBTQ+ issues. The goals of therapy are practical and deep: an increased understanding of self, greater nervous-system regulation, fewer triggers, and a kinder inner voice. My work moves clients beyond cognition and into embodied change.
