I am dedicated to helping my clients identify their potential, and opportunities for positive change. I help clients attain their counseling goals through cognitive behavioral therapy principles, with a person-centered approach.

I believe that our present day emotions, thoughts, and behaviors are linked to experiences from our past, and those events not only impact our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, but they also impact how we view ourselves and our relationships today. It’s my goal to help you grow in your self-esteem and self-acceptance, and to create the language and thought process to believe in yourself, advocate for yourself, and to be optimistic towards yourself. My ideal client is someone who is motivated and ready to challenge their current way of thinking about themselves.

Offering Walk and Talk sessions in Richmond! My approach is founded upon the relationship I have with each client by creating a safe, comfortable environment with empathy, genuineness, and a sense of humor. I help clients to identify, express, and understand emotions so that they may better manage them. Therapy can also aid in understanding and changing patterns in relationships that may contribute to distress. I welcome conversations with clients about our relationship, as this can be very useful in shedding light on other relationships in their lives.

Going to therapy can be scary, but it doesn’t have to be. The most important tool in therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. Building that relationship and a level of trust is the first thing we will do together. If you’ve gotten this far, you must be ready for change. Whether it’s unhappiness in a relationship, noticing a pattern or cycle you want to change, or feeling ready to become the best version of yourself. My job is to help support you through this process, and give you perspectives you may not have considered before. I help people connect with their true selves and work towards healing of past traumas.

I am committed to helping individuals find the strength within themselves and to share that with those most important to them. Whether you are struggling with anxiety or depression, relationship difficulties, or life transitions, I always seek to assist you in finding the most effective way to help you achieve your goals and live a happier life. My orientation is interpersonal, psychodynamic and emotionally focused. I am very active in the therapy.

Are you not feeling like yourself? Have you been feeling “stuck”, have you experienced emotional or relational trauma, struggle with Depression, or engage in self-criticism; I can help. As a therapist, I created a space where you can heal and just BE. While in therapy, you will overcome trauma, manage your depression/ anxiety, walk away from self-criticism and lean towards self-compassion and self-love.

Therapy often focuses on life’s biggest challenges and difficult emotions, but that doesn’t mean therapy has to be a distressing experience. I work with adolescents and adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, adjusting to life changes, addiction, and PTSD. I specialize in treating trauma and utilize Cognitive Processing Therapy to guide individuals through reprocessing what they have experienced in order to cultivate healing and growth from their traumas. I have helped survivors of a wide variety of traumatic events including but not limited to; sexual assault, childhood abuse, combat related trauma, and domestic violence.

I aim to provide an open and safe environment to address various issues that may arise in one’s life. My specialty population is couples and families, as I have personally experienced the effects of coming from a broken home, as well as surviving a chaotic family environment. I have 17 years of experience working with children and over 12 years of experience working with adults who are severely mentally ill and dually diagnosed. I find joy in helping others navigate through the roller coaster ride, and detours that life sometimes throws at us.

The most lasting and impactful change often comes from exploring the negative, unhealthy, or self-destructive tendencies in our lives and then working to identify and uproot the untrue beliefs that fuel them.

I value helping individuals improve their quality of life by understanding their past and present experiences. My therapy style incorporates direct questions, thoughtful feedback, and interactive exercises to enhance awareness and facilitate growth. I frequently guide individuals to meaningfully discuss their thoughts and feelings. The goal is to restore well-being through a renewed sense of self, purpose in life, and relationship potentials.

Life should be joyful and meaningful. It is natural to seek connection and to discover our inner selves. Even though we long for inner and outer harmony, it is easy to feel down, stuck, alone, unfulfilled. Many of us probably suck at communicating, listening, and being vulnerable. Sometimes it seems like the past is close behind and it is hard to move forward brightly. The world isn't designed for us to experience inner-peace or true happiness so therapy is here to help give you space to get mentally, emotionally, and spiritually well.

**No longer accepting clients at this time** We never know what surprises or challenges life will throw our way and how they will test our knowledge, strength, and ability grow or keep moving forward.

As a licensed Clinical Psychologist, my role is to help you understand your life experiences, how they have affected you and possibly led to symptoms of depression, PTSD, anxiety, grief, and unhealthy relationship patterns that keep you stuck.
