Looking forward to working with you in person in my cozy, new office or via telehealth.
You might be feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that don’t really fit who you are anymore. Maybe your emotions feel like a lot to manage, or past experiences still sit with you in a way that’s hard to shake. It can feel like your own thoughts are getting in the way of the life you actually want to live. You may be navigating ADHD, anxiety, or autism, whether diagnosed or just wondering if that fits your experience. You’re not just looking for temporary relief, you want real change. You want to understand what’s actually going on under the surface and figure out how to handle things in a way that actually works well.

I use an integrated approach to therapy, grounded in Person-Centered approach.
Life can feel heavy when you’re carrying anxiety, self-doubt, past experiences, or patterns that just won’t seem to change. These challenges can impact your relationships, your sense of self, and how you show up day to day. But those patterns don’t define you, and they don’t have to stay the same. In our work together, we’ll begin to uncover what’s beneath the surface, bringing awareness to what’s been holding you back and creating space for real, lasting change.

I offer in-person therapy in an easily accessible professional building as well as virtual therapy through the medical portal doxy
As your therapist, I will guide you to recognize learned patterns of thinking, acting and feeling that may be creating suffering in your life. Together we will explore where and why you learned those patterns and what purpose they served. Once fully understood, you will find the self-compassion and courage to release those learned patterns and cultivate healthier ways of being. Through this process you will find greater self-awareness, self-compassion and new ways to create healthier relationships with yourself, others and life in general.

I offer in-person and on-line therapy.
I believe that all people have the innate capacity to heal from painful experiences, adapt to difficult situations, alter unhealthy behavior, and find true happiness. Sometimes, however, we need help developing this capacity or clearing the obstacles that prevent us from accessing our most capable Self. This is when therapy can help.
In my many years of providing therapy to a wide range of people struggling with a variety of challenges, I have found that bringing a kind, curious and accepting presence to bear on difficulties (and with ourselves for the ways we have tried to cope) creates the container in which change can occur.

I work with both individuals and couples, guided by a deep passion for understanding what makes relationships thrive. I’m especially drawn to exploring the intricacies of human connection and the elements that nurture enduring love and emotional intimacy. Whether you’re facing anxiety, relational struggles, or other mental health challenges, I’m here to walk alongside you. Together, we’ll bring light to patterns that no longer serve you, some that may have stayed hidden for years and gently create space for change, growth, and healing.

We provide in-person meetings in the office as well as confidential video conferences.
When looking for a therapist, ask someone who knows the reputation of the therapists in this area. Ask a friend, a family doctor, a pastor, or a professional. They know the best therapist in the area. Don't pick a therapist based solely on what the therapist has written about themselves or on price. This is your life; it's your marriage or your family. 90% of our clients come from "word of mouth". We maintain a respected reputation due to the staff's professional skills and therapeutic effectiveness & reliability - we've been here since 1986.

I offer sessions for clients in Richmond and DC virtually, or in-person in Charlottesville, Virginia.
I predominantly work with men and couples. The men I see are often going through a stressful change in their relationships, whether it's a new baby, a new family crisis, a new job, or a new loss. These men are seeking to deal with things differently than how they were brought up to deal with them. Maybe they want to really talk instead of shutting down, to be more available as parents or partners; maybe they want to feel more comfortable expressing themselves; they want to weather the conflicts of life, and stay calm while doing so. For a litany of reasons, this is hard to achieve just by wanting to!

I offer in person or telehealth services.
I believe that healing happens when you feel truly seen. If you feel like you are on an emotional roller coaster: battling waves of anger or feeling a profound sense of loneliness, I want you to know your desire for connection and understanding is valid. My practice is built on radical empathy, validation, and a touch of humor. Together: we will look at your story, make sense of the way you feel, and identify the strengths you already possess-even if you have lost sight of them.

I offer both in-person and telehealth sessions, and I invite you to schedule a consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
The heart of my work as a therapist is creating a warm, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly seen and heard. When your experiences are met with empathy and acceptance, your nervous system can begin to relax—often bringing a sense of relief right away. From there, it becomes possible to gently explore patterns in your thoughts and behaviors—patterns that once protected or served you but now may be keeping you from living the life you want. Together, we’ll approach these patterns with compassion and curiosity, opening the door to lasting change.

Everyone struggles from time to time - what's important is how we respond to the struggle. I believe struggle turns to suffering when we refuse to accept what we cannot change or when we passively accept what can be changed. In my practice I help people learn to avoid suffering by changing the things they can and accepting the things they can't change. Using a variety of skills and techniques, I help people learn how to thrive - even in the face of struggle - while being true to themselves and effective in their interactions with others.
