I am licensed in California and Virginia and take most insurances in both states. Email me if you are wanting to use your insurance and do not see it listed on my booking website.
If you’re feeling stuck at work, directionless in life, or frustrated with motherhood, I am here to help. As a professional therapist of nearly 15 years, I empower clients to find their inner understanding and make lasting breakthroughs. I think of myself as a guiding presence in a supportive and safe space. I’ll encourage you to take steps that will relieve your anxieties, ground you in the present moment, and lead you to your desired future.
I care deeply about promoting self-compassion in my clients. I offer warm, supportive therapy that helps you build the foundations of self-love you can utilize outside the therapy room.
I am currently working with individual clients 18 and over only, and not accepting couples. I enjoy working with clients who are excited about the therapeutic process. If you’re eager for some clarity, we’ll be a great fit!
