Accepting new clients! Licensed in VA, MD, MA, and WV, I help people better understand themselves when things feel stuck, overwhelming, or hard to name. Many of my clients are thoughtful and self-aware, but still find themselves repeating patterns or feeling pulled in directions that don't feel aligned with who they really are.
In our work, we slow things down and get curious about what’s happening beneath the surface; your thoughts, emotions, and the different parts of you that show up in moments of stress. My goal isn’t just insight, but helping you respond in ways that feel more steady, intentional, and aligned.
For couples, we’ll strengthen communication, rebuild intimacy, and navigate boundaries so both partners feel seen. For individuals, we’ll explore your unique patterns and how your past shapes the present. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to build self-awareness and more meaningful, balanced relationships.
I understand how overwhelming life concerns can feel, and you don’t have to navigate them alone. While I do not accept insurance, I provide superbills for possible reimbursement. If you’re ready to move toward more fulfilling relationships, I invite you to reach out.
