Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite like yourself? Maybe you're navigating a life change, dealing with anxiety or depression, feeling drained by relationships, or carrying the weight of past experiences. I work with individuals across the lifespan and gender identities, but I specialize in working with young adult women who are coping with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, codependency, and chronic illness. My clients are often thoughtful, high-achieving people who’ve spent years caring for others and are now realizing it’s time to care for themselves, too.
I offer a warm, supportive space where you can slow down, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, focused on helping you build insight, self-trust, and healthier relationships—with yourself and others. Together, we’ll work toward lasting growth, not just quick fixes.
In addition to in-person sessions (Virginia location only), I offer therapy online, making it easier to fit into your life—no traffic, no waiting rooms, just a quiet space to focus on your healing and growth. If this resonates with you, I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit. Please call for a free 20-minute consultation session!
