Hello, I am thrilled you are “visiting with me” today. It is an understatement to say, “I love being a therapist.” It took ten years of education to earn the privilege of sitting before my clients. Being a therapist is my life's work and my passion. I am very aware of my great responsibility as a therapist for my clients. Over the years, I am always awed and inspired by the resilience of those who have shared their story with me. My path to becoming a therapist many years ago fulfills me every day. I can't describe with words the feeling of pride that I feel when it's the last day of a successful treatment, ending with my client(s).

If you've been taught that your thoughts can't be trusted, your emotions are dangerous, or your body is shameful, you may be carrying the impact of high-control religious systems—whether you recognize it as religious trauma or not. Maybe you're navigating family estrangement, struggling with anxiety over the state of the world, or feeling disconnected from your intuition. These experiences don’t have to define your future. Therapy offers a space to untangle these beliefs, reconnect with yourself, and move toward a more grounded, authentic way of being.

I am a licensed professional counselor based in Virginia. My therapeutic approach centers on guiding my clients to find meaning, purpose, and inner strength by embracing the beauty and imperfections of their lived experiences, rather than avoiding them. Life's challenges, like grief, loss, trauma, depression, or anxiety, can often leave us feeling trapped in an unchanging reality. In such moments, Viktor Frankl’s words serve as a profound reminder: “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.”

Welcome to my therapy practice. We can all feel 'stuck' or overwhelmed at times, and our lives can be impacted by negative behavioral patterns, difficulty in relationships, and ongoing struggles with pain and suffering. Therapy is a process where, as partners, we move towards having a deeper understanding of yourself, your feelings and reactions, and your relationships. We will work to improve your ability to cope with challenges, to make progress towards personal goals, and to experience positive changes that allow increased satisfaction with self, life, and relationships. I look forward to starting this process with you!

Where did things go so wrong? Your marriage used to be a source of strength and comfort. Now, it feels like a cage that you can’t escape from. You and your husband avoid each other – staying late at work, running unnecessary chores, and always taking the long way home. When you do spend time together, it feels more like being around a hostile roommate than your “soulmate.” A part of you wants to just call it quits – cut your losses and start over. But what about the kids? What about the future you’ve worked so hard to build? You’re not ready to throw in the towel yet, but you don’t if there’s a way forward. It feels hopeless.
