My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and strengths-based. I believe everyone has unique abilities and inner resources that can be nurtured and expanded through the therapeutic process. I help clients identify the challenges standing in their way, build practical skills for navigating life’s ups and downs, and make the most of the strengths they already possess. Together, we’ll work to better understand your experiences, develop effective coping strategies, and create meaningful, solution-focused changes that support your personal growth and goals.
I will meet you where you are and tailor our work to your unique needs and values. Through this, you'll gain tools for navigating life’s difficulties, feel more confident in your decisions, and experience relief from the burdens of everyday stressors. Most importantly, we’ll clarify what truly matters to you and move toward the life you want to live.
I'm a staff therapist at White Oak Counseling, a group practice providing evidence-based mental health treatment for individual adults in Central Virginia. Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors—running, hiking, and biking—and sharing those experiences with my family.
