To be seen and known by others is an incredible feeling of connection but it means being authentic and vulnerable. Sadly, we live in a time with the illusion of connection while being more disconnected than ever. You may feel disconnected from others and even from yourself. Though you are a gift to this world, it is often blocked and unexpressed. This may leave you feeling alone and invisible. The truth is, you may be starving for deeper connection and that starvation looks like depression, anxiety, stress, and more. When you are living disconnected, you are abandoning yourself.
Thankfully, you have a beautiful inner voice. I help you redefine your view of barriers (I call it protection), frustration around recurring struggles, failures, shame+fears through a lens of compassion, curiosity, and courage. My working style is non-judgmental, and I endeavor to bring curiosity, humor, empathy, patience, and respect to our relationship.
UPDATE: A few avail spots now open during the daytime. I warmly invite you to reach out by phone or email through my website and to explore how we might work together to help you live a life of purpose and connection with self and others. NOTE: VA & DE clients are online only.

I primarily work with individuals navigating grief, emotional pain, and the effects of challenging or overwhelming life experiences. Clients often come to therapy feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of who they are beneath long-standing patterns. My work supports healing, self-understanding, and a stronger sense of internal safety and identity.

I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) within an integrative, attachment-based approach. Therapy is collaborative and paced, helping you understand emotional patterns as protective responses rather than problems to be fix. This often helps loosen long-standing "stuckness" by increasing safety, self-trust, and emotional regulation in an attuned space.
