In Person Therapists in Charlottesville, VA
We live in a wonderful but difficult world where most of us have encountered painful experiences or relationships that can leave us feeling empty, confused, alone, angry, and scared. We all develop protective mechanisms and coping strategies that help us adapt to our challenges and simply survive. However, we may still feel stuck even after the dust settles. Whether we have experienced childhood abuse, betrayal in a trusted relationship, witnessed or been subject to violence (physically, emotionally, or spiritually), we are all capable of healing from our hurt.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples on topics that do not always get the focused attention they deserve: relationship dynamics, men and men’s issues, sex and sexual harm, and academic stressors. I have also worked with a number of people seeing a therapist for the first time.
Working with clients on these topics involves exploring issues like communication breakdown, cycles of criticism and/or feeling ignored, grief and loss, emotional and physical intimacy, processing sexual harm, professional burnout, and stress management.

Many of my clients are in search of coping skills to help manage the stress (both physical and mental) of overwhelming life situations.

At Active&Connected Family Therapy, I help clients of all ages, including college students, build resilience and tackle mental health challenges that may be holding them back or making life even tougher.

I have a lovely office full of plants where I hold in-person sessions.
When life feels challenging, it is often a signal that change is on its way - seeking support can help prepare you to embrace the change that wants to happen. Therapy that "works" is highly dependent on the connection between you and your therapist. My goal is to meet you where you are, listen deeply, without judgement, and cultivate a relationship grounded in trust and positive regard. I provide compassionate support as you navigate life transitions, process grief, ease relational discord, address anxiety and depression, and cultivate your capacity to welcome change.

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

What’s working and what’s not working in your life? Psychotherapy is a tool to help you understand yourself more deeply and uncover unconscious patterns, defensive structures and boundaries that impact your relationship with self, others and the world around you. Whether navigating a career shift, relationship issues, or internal struggles, understanding your psychology will cultivate greater awareness of self and facilitate the necessary changes needed to achieve the results you desire. While A.I. can provide psychological insight, it cannot address the unconscious obstacles you are unaware of or cannot articulate.

Few are born into healthy families & communities and have a strong sense of self. Many wander this earth a long time searching for "their people" and themselves. I welcome the wanderers. Maybe you moved a lot and aren't sure what "home" is. Maybe abuse stole your safety and left you with shame. Perhaps injustice and grief linger in your soul, needing lament and ritual. Perhaps your faith has shattered and you feel unmoored. Perhaps parenting or marriage has turned out painfully different from your expectations. I am a fellow wanderer. If you long to leave the shallows and dive into the deep, I will go with you.
