Starting therapy can be scary. It's invaluable to find a therapist who is highly trained, empathic & relatable. In our work together, you will experience curiosity, empathy, warmth & a touch of humor. With my individual clients, I support individuals in working through the anxiety and stressors of daily life. You may be struggling in your relationships, parenting or career even though you're doing "all the right things". I welcome you to explore your inner world in therapy. With my couples clients, I use research-backed models that will support you with long-term disconnection, repetitive fights, sexual issues and broken trust.

I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapy & Supervisor. I integrate empirically validated therapeutic approaches such as EFT & Internal Family Systems to support an individual in understanding themselves, and each other, more deeply. This creates a path for healing old wounds, more clear communication in relationships & overall satisfaction.

I am an LGBTQ+ ally, non-monogamy-affirming, anti-racist and culturally humble therapist licensed to provide therapy in-person at my Northern Virginia office. I also offer tele-health session to any person in Virginia and North Carolina. As you consider beginning the courageous step of initiating therapy, I encourage you to reach out.
