In addition to private counseling, I have worked as a therapist in a university counseling center, a supervisor in a community agency serving older adults and underserved populations, and as an adjunct faculty at the University of Virginia teaching group counseling.
Maintaining relationships can be one of the hardest work we do in life. Healthy relationships require intention, consistency, thoughtfulness, and a willingness to care for ourselves as well as for others. When differences arise in values, beliefs, communication styles, life experiences, or cultural backgrounds, it can be difficult to feel understood or connected. I help individuals and couples navigate these differences, discover new perspectives, and develop strategies to strengthen understanding and connections.

My hope is to assist you in transforming those painful, self limiting beliefs and old patterns into realistic and affirming ones. The process I most often use incorporates bi-lateral stimulation of the brain. This is a simple technique that often has profound results. It has been shown to move client's very quickly towards the core healing which is central to lasting results. One of the key benefits of this therapy is the ability to approach new situations /people with creativity, clarity, and new problem solving techniques. This often occurs spontaneously as part of the process.

I enjoy helping people find balance and discover/rediscover their inner strength while navigating through the challenging times and transitions in life. Life is full of surprises; while some are amazing, others can be devastating. Big life changes, such as moving away from home to go to college or for a job, having a baby, or getting divorced/breaking up, can leave you feeling overwhelmed and uncertain. It's normal to have feelings of anxiety and/or depression, especially during change & trying times, but it's also important to get the support you need to get through the difficult times & get back on track with the help of therapy.

Do you struggle to have strong connections with loved ones, to progress in your life and career? Sometimes you might find that you are tired, struggling to motivate, feel keyed up, react defensively, or use alcohol to relax. Memories of past experiences may find their way into your mind only to distract and create distress. It’s likely you understand what is going on but feel overwhelmed about how to change it or worse, you have tried but haven’t been able to make significant or longstanding changes. This can leave you discouraged and the subject of your inner critic.

I have had the privilege of working with families, individuals and couples for many years. Helping people bridge miscommunication gaps to grow deeper connections is a passion of mine. When we work to understand ourselves, we often gain profound insights into the systems we are part of. My approach integrates narrative, light somatic and Internal Family Systems (IFS) alongside Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I draw from a family systems perspective, recognizing that our interconnectedness influences both ourselves and others. I strive to empower my clients to use this awareness as a catalyst for meaning.
