We offer flexible hours, both in-person and telehealth, accept most major insurances, and hire only licensed providers.
I find particular fulfillment in working with clients who are facing substance use challenges and have not yet engaged in recovery or explored treatment options. These individuals often bring a raw honesty and openness that allows for meaningful exploration and growth. With approximately 35 years of experience, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients—including teens, adults, and older adults. I genuinely enjoy meeting new people and getting to know their stories. I offer a warm, welcoming presence and strive to be a thoughtful listener. I believe in the resilience of the human spirit and the power of connection in fostering change

Receiving therapy should never be an additional stressor in your life. Our sessions will be lightly structured to discuss the goals you want to achieve. I always seek to end on a positive note, recognizing your strengths and generally adding some humor. Our therapeutic space is confidential, non-judgmental, and safe for you to be able to receive the support and growth that you seek. Our first session will always be an open conversation between two people getting to know each other. The main goal is to discuss the concerns that you, the client, want to work on through our sessions.

I focus on individual Trauma, Couples, and Family. With years of family and individual work I've developed a flexible ability to meet adult and teen needs from parenting, marital, and developmental trauma and transitions of life. My work is informed by an attachment approach where I seek to create safety with you to untie negative relational patterns and move into greater awareness and courage. To assist my clients with underlying issues of trauma, my training in AEDP, EMDR and somatic approaches are well suited. I also use Ketamine Assisted Therapy in my office to break through old, unconscious patterns.

I have 1-2 spots in my schedule, so please reach out if working together in-person in Virginia, or remotely in New York, feels important.
Do you feel chronically disconnected or stuck in unhelpful patterns despite "knowing better"? This misalignment might be affecting your physical health, your relationships, your sense of self, and your visions for the future. While many of the strategies you relied upon in early life were both necessary and adaptive, they can also become what hold you back later in life. What if we explore some of your origin stories and update those defaults to better reflect who you are, instead of who you believed you had to be? What if we deepen your self-belonging, thereby strengthening your capacity to connect more effortlessly with others?

Welcome! Beginning therapy is a courageous step in the healing process. I have seen firsthand the transformative results of psychotherapy. I practice counseling from a relational depth perspective. This means focusing on the relationship I build with clients as a cornerstone of treatment and working with the unconscious, which is the root of most distress. I help clients work through symptoms which are causing conflict in their lives, keeping them from achieving their goals, and preventing them from feeling a sense of overall well-being.

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, and CBT), 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.

In-person and tele-health available.
Beginning therapy is similar to summoning the courage to open an over-flowing closet that has been long ignored. Though daunting, with the right tools and an understanding guide, the task can become a manageable and rewarding experience. As your guide, I can help you shine a light on emotions, experiences, and relationships that you may be afraid to touch due to fear, shame, or uncertainty of how to process them. By utilizing an integrative approach, I help my clients assess and move through their emotional experiences while also applying new skills to help them reach their innermost personal goals.

Life is hard, and we are often our toughest critic. As an EMDR therapist, I am passionate about focusing on experiences and relationships that have caused people to sustain negative beliefs about themselves. I find that those beliefs, whether we are aware of them or not, are often at the core of anxiety, depression, relational difficulties, and addictive behaviors. I work with clients to uproot those beliefs and forge a new way of living, both in mind and body.

They may feel depressed, anxious, or dissatisfied with their lives and not know the reason. 3) People who feel okay but want to come to life more fully and feel even better.
