If you're feeling overwhelmed, frozen & annoyed by the world around you, maybe it's grief. Grief is more than death - grief is in betrayal, trauma, life-altering diagnosis, pregnancy/baby loss, divorce & infidelity, family rejection & traumatic grief like suicide or violence.
You're an intelligent, logical, hard-working person. You want to live freely, to be present for the joy & the people around you. But you're unsettled, irritated & unable to enjoy the life you've worked hard to create.
If you're feeling stuck, worried you're in too deep, please know there is a path through grief & loss. I'd be honored to show you.

As a clinician and certified Clinical Traumatologist , I utilize an integrative approach in my therapeutic discipline, taking into account the biopsychospiritual nature of the human person. With this as my foundation, I provide an unconditionally loving and emotionally safe clinical environment for individuals who are looking to learn how to deepen their understanding of what is preventing them from flourishing individually and interpersonally.

As a therapist, I work primarily from a relational dynamic perspective and I use human diversity and social justice lenses to further inform my work. This means that I place particular emphasis on emotions and relationships, and that I strive to be emotionally present and available for authentic connection. It is my belief and experience that the work and healing of therapy occur within this connection. Therapy is thus a collaborative process of building an affirming relationship that leads to meaningful change.

Eating challenges, whether yours or your loved ones, can feel lonely, confusing, and shameful. And yet, for many, they can also feel stabilizing and familiar, or simply unavoidable. The relationships we keep with our food and body can be incredibly complex and influenced by a multitude of factors. After years of experience working with eating disorders at all levels of care, I understand those complexities and the sensitive nature of this type of work. I offer a collaborative space for those individuals and families who are ready to work towards a life where eating is intuitive, connective, safe, and fun.

My approach is strengths-based and collaborative, and I pull from a variety of therapy models including DBT, attachment-based, family systems, and narrative therapy.
I believe that everyone deserves a space to feel heard as they navigate in a new direction, away from feeling disconnected, stuck, and isolated. I provide a safe, supportive, and warm environment as you begin to face whatever obstacles that initially brought you to therapy, and help you manage the conflicting feelings that often accompany this process.
I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, and other issues rooted in complex trauma. I enjoy working with adult children of alcoholics and dysfunctional families who tend to struggle with various problems such as people pleasing, overthinking, and hypervigilance.

We all face challenges in life where we need more support and understanding. Therapy can be the key to help identify problems, offer solutions, and lead to the changes you are seeking. Acceptance and compassion are the foundation of my work. I help individuals, couples, and families deal with stress related to trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, maternal mental health, complicated relationships, infidelity, parenting, and self-esteem. I have also worked extensively with Veterans and family members and understand the stressors unique to the military community.

Healing, change, and growth are possible. Whatever you may have experienced or be experiencing, no matter what imprints you may carry, it is never too late to begin again. Depression, anxiety, stress - these are all real things that are held in the body and mind. The experience of this weight can be painful and isolating, inhibiting you from living the life you imagined. My goal is to help clients find the tools they need to define and live their lives as a person they truly love, and, by extension, to build healthy connections with those around them.

My ideal client can be anyone. I approach counseling from a wellness model, which means that I believe that people are inherently good, and that people tend to thrive under the right conditions. I am most interested in creating deep and lasting changes, and for most people this is long-term work. My clients tend to find me warm and approachable, but also clear and direct in my communication.

In private practice settings, I've assisted adolescents, adults, and older adults struggling with trauma, anxiety and relationship issues, attention problems, learning disorders, and depression. I also worked for 9 years at Naval Health Clinic Quantico helping service members struggling with PTSD and combat trauma, depression, substance use issues, relationship problems, and a variety of anxiety disorders. I find that most people are doing their best to cope with their unique challenges in life, but sometimes reach a point where what they are trying is no longer working and could benefit from some professional guidance.
