In Person Therapists in Buckingham County, VA
I have experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and older adults. While I use a variety of approaches (including AEDP, Existential Theory, Attachment Theory, EFT, and DBT), ultimately I like to let our work together inform which approach suits our time best. I am knowledgeable about trauma-informed practice and bring a lot of my own life experiences into the sessions, through my work as a teacher, professional firefighter, and professionaI musician.

I offer sessions in-person and with our animals on our therapy farm.
Are you ready to feel empowered and notice you feel most relaxed with animals and in nature? Perhaps, traditional-talk therapy doesn't feel quite right for you and you're curious about an experiential approach to heal and grow. When working with me and our amazing animals (horses, goats, dogs) on the farm, you can anticipate learning to leverage your strengths, building resilience and finding meaning through challenges. I provide care for children, adolescents, adults and families, many of whom need help with anxiety, depression, stress, panic attacks, trauma, PTSD, grief, ADHD, family issues, and coping with disease and disability.

Accepting clients now. While I bring to our sessions my rigorous academic and clinical training, once you’re in my office, I think you'll find it’s essentially, at its core, a conversation. Even though I listen to things other people in your life might find uncomfortable, you’ll probably find that you spend more time laughing than crying in my office.
Let me help you get to a place where: Resilience is enhanced. Relationships are rewarding and stable. Decisions are made consciously, with clarity and purpose. Life's work is energized, in harmony with personal values. Transitions are managed more smoothly, embraced as opportunities.

Many individuals I work with are in the midst of a major life transition or in need of one. Transitions can have many forms: loss or gain of income, status, health, security, or a loved one; the course of life bringing you into adulthood, parenthood, middle or old age; traumatic experiences; spiritual, psychedelic, or spontaneous experiences that alter your sense of self and the world. Other times you may sense that something is off but don’t yet have the words to articulate what needs to be changed. Some of the difficulties you may encounter at these times are anxiety, depression, anger, relationship trouble, and confusion.

Online and in-person support in Virginia for those who want to feel connected to themselves again!
Do you feel like you're doing everything "right," but it’s still not enough?
You’re successful, reliable, and good at pushing through—but behind the scenes, you're exhausted. Maybe you find yourself overthinking, holding it all in, or getting stuck in the same reactive patterns with the people who matter most. You want to feel grounded, connected, and more like yourself again.
I help adults slow down, unpack what’s really driving the pressure, and start living from self-worth instead of constant proving. We’ll work together to loosen the link between work and worth, set steadier boundaries, and make space for clarity and calm.

I am currently offering in-person sessions out of my Charlottesville office and telehealth sessions to people living across Virginia.
I work with adults who are thoughtful and capable yet feel stuck in patterns that no longer feel aligned with who they are. You may find yourself navigating relational dynamics, self-criticism, emotional overwhelm, or longstanding internal conflicts despite insight and effort. Often, there is a sense that you’ve lost connection with a steadier, wiser part of yourself. Therapy offers space to slow down, make sense of what you’ve been carrying, and reconnect with the strength, wisdom and resilience that already live within you.

At the end of therapy, many clients tell me they “feel like themselves again.” Even positive life changes—like becoming a parent, getting married, moving, or transitioning into a new stage of life—can bring unexpected stress and overwhelm. These moments can feel isolating or confusing, and it can be hard to know where to turn. I am passionate about maternal mental health, providing support to women through the perinatal and postpartum periods. I also work with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
