Life doesn’t come with a roadmap, and when anxiety, self-doubt, relationship stress, or past trauma show up, it can feel overwhelming.

I created EverGrace Psychological Services out of the belief that people can heal and grow in every season of life—even after trauma, loss, or significant transition. The name EverGrace reflects two guiding ideas in my work: the resilience of evergreen trees that endure through all seasons, and the sustaining power of grace through life’s challenges. I am licensed in Virginia and Washington, D.C., and offer telehealth and in-person sessions, as well as psychological and psychoeducational testing.

Successful psychotherapy can result in greater adaptability, resilience, creativity, and joy. Most of my clients present with challenges in their relationships, careers, health, and overall sense of self.

Specifically, I can help you use the past to inform the present, to glean insight needed to address existing obstacles and to create functional change in daily life.

Everyone experiences loss. Seldom do we allow ourselves to fully experience loss or it's impact. When someone dies, we change jobs, or even have a child, there is loss. When we choose to address these losses, past or present, we can begin to heal, and with healing comes unlimited possibility. I work with families/individuals/children and the impact family dynamics have on their lives; adoptees and their families as they deal their losses; bereaved individuals and groups after the death of a loved one; transitional loss and role adjustment included "empty nest"; corporate downsizing; career counseling; and relationship issues.
