I’m a therapist at Ellie Mental Health's Manassas clinic. I'm deeply committed to helping individuals overcome emotional and mental health challenges, and I’ve had the privilege of working with clients through depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. I also prioritize trauma-informed care, ensuring that you feel safe and supported throughout your therapy journey. I am taking new clients both in-person and virtually, and our clinic accepts most insurances. If you think we'd be a good fit for therapy, call us or click the website tab which brings up our scheduling tool... all of my openings will show up there!
I believe healing is a collaborative process that requires compassion, trust, and an individual approach to clients. I draw from a variety of therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices. I'll work with you to find what resonates most to ensure you feel safe and supported.
I understand that life can be overwhelming and seeking therapy is a brave first step toward healing.

I often use Dialectal Behavioral Therapy in my practice. In your first session, we'll discuss what brought you to therapy. Next, we'll collaborate and explore your thoughts and emotions. You'll gain a toolbox full of coping skills and relaxation techniques. I'd be honored to walk this path with you because, you deserve to be (insert YOUR aspiration here).
