In Person Therapists in Charlottesville, VA
I have immediate openings for both in-person and telehealth clients.
All of our behaviors are adaptive, even the ones we wish to change. There was likely a time and place that even the most pesky of habits helped to protect or get you through difficult times. We will explore the "when" and "why" of your past parts as we work to create change in the here and now. I appreciate life can be difficult, relationships overwhelming, and decision-making about major transitions both exciting and paralyzing. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, stress from work, relationship problems, or finding your voice, we can work towards your goals together..

As a strengths-based and trauma-informed therapist, I am passionate about helping clients to repair deeply held wounds, especially relational wounds, which are often at the core of symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and addictive behaviors. Though I work with clients to help alleviate their troubling symptoms, my work is more fully anchored in the belief that the sensitive exploration of underlying injuries enables not just symptom-reduction but transformation and growth.

I offer in-person and online sessions, giving you flexibility to choose the format that best fits your needs, comfort, and lifestyle.
I work with teens, adults, and couples who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally disconnected, and who often find themselves stuck in patterns like overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, or ongoing relationship struggles. Many of my clients come in feeling weighed down by anxiety, relational stress, or the impact of past experiences that continue to show up in present-day relationships. In our work together, we begin by slowing things down to better understand what you’re carrying, and how your past and current experiences have shaped the way you think, feel, and relate over time.

Beginning therapy is similar to summoning the courage to open an over-flowing closet that has been long ignored.

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.

Whether we meet in person in Charlottesville, on a walk, or over telehealth, come how you are.

There is hope.

I offer in-person and virtual holistic & integrative therapy sessions.
I work with individuals who long to feel more connected to themselves and to life. Folks I work with may experience anxiety, trauma, or sensitivity that’s left them overwhelmed or disconnected, and are ready to move beyond feeling stuck. I support my clients in more than just coping. My clients are ready to reclaim wholeness, regulate their nervous system, and embody the grounded, vibrant presence that is their birthright. As a holistic therapist, I draw on mindfulness, somatic psychotherapy, trauma-informed care, and principles of integrative health to provide comprehensive care.

I help individuals find desired change, relief, and insight by increasing understanding and awareness of their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. I teach practical coping skills and guide clients in reprocessing distressing experiences and memories. With a mindfulness and strength-based approach, one technique I offer, as needed, is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing). Through this work together, you'll connect more with your inner, positive voice and truths, and decrease automatic behaviors and thoughts that make "small" issues feel overwhelming, that cause "freezing" or fighting. This results in more comfort with yourself and more confidence with other people or situations.

I offer therapy sessions in person in a soft light filled office (never big lights!) and I welcome getting to know your sensory needs.
You may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, disconnected from yourself, or stuck in painful relationship patterns. Perhaps you're navigating life as neurodivergent individual and feel exhausted by masking, sensory overwhelm, or feeling misunderstood. You may have tried therapy before and gained insight but still feel stuck, or attended couples therapy and left feeling unseen because your experience of the world was interpreted through a neurotypical lens.
I offer an experiential approach that goes beyond insight alone. Together, we can listen to what is hurting and welcome the parts of you that want to be understood.

I work with people struggling to resolve feelings of anxiety or sadness, or those who find that relationship challenges seem to keep repeating themselves. Together we embark on a journey of discovery to identify and understand the patterns operating below awareness that inform expectations, and color perceptions. Whether working with adults, adolescents, couples or caregivers, I believe therapy should be an engaging and dynamic process where all thoughts and feelings are welcomed. Healing occurs when we allow ourselves the freedom to express the scope of our emotions, and my sessions are as likely to include laughter as tears.

Therapy has as its fulcrum a secure, connected, trustworthy relationship. Within this safe zone there is opportunity for discovery, healing, questioning, empowerment, questioning, and goal-setting. I see therapy as an open-ended, yet purposeful opportunity for all of these, and more. I strive to help clients explore and expand their sense of themselves, and to live and relate authentically, both in relationships and in vocation. I have a gentle, affirmative clinical presence, at points serene and curious, at others interactive, with humor as an adjunct.

You may be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve the person you are today. Maybe big emotions feel hard to manage, past experiences still weigh heavily, or you’re tired of your mind getting in the way of the life you want to live. You want relief AND real change. You’re looking for a space that feels supportive and honest, where you can better understand yourself, build effective coping skills, and move toward a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and aligned with your values.
