Teletherapy for Charlottesville, VA
Do you criticize yourself every time you look in the mirror? Rely on unhelpful coping skills, and perhaps feel stuck? As a therapist, I am here to help you develop insight into your behaviors and how they serve you. Together, we can work through “the whys” and help you shift the way you think and act. I strive to create a nonjudgmental, empathetic, and safe space for clients to explore their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. I pull from person-centered and psychodynamic theories, CBT, and ACT in my work, but always work to collaborate with clients and tailor sessions toward your needs.

Waitlist for new clients
I meet with folks in-person in a light-filled office in downtown C'ville, and online with clients in North Carolina.
I believe that you are doing the very best you can with the pain, traumas, and losses that life has brought your way — And I recognize your desire to feel better and to find more peace and joy in your life. My approach to therapy blends a compassionate and steady relationship with advanced training in evidence-based approaches, including EMDR. I often work with folks who are worn out from being stuck in patterns of coping and dealing that are no longer working. Alone, it's hard to get unstuck. Let's partner together help you heal from old hurts and become rooted in new patterns of thinking, feeling, and relating to others.

I am licensed in my home state of Virginia and maintain authorization by PSYPACT to see clients online in DC and MD in addition to Virginia.
I offer therapy & evaluation (testing) services for those 18+. Clients don't come to me because they are happy. They come, most likely, because they are in pain and hurt. They are tired of feeling stuck, and the fear, tears, and whatever seems to be causing them all. They aren’t interested in therapy because they want therapy. In fact, they are not even sure IF they want therapy—but they ARE sure they want to get unstuck and feel better. So, for you: here you are. . . not all that sure that this is going to help but damn sure you want to do something that might make a positive change and get your life moving forward again.

Nothing unsettles me in my role—no relationship history, difficult past, or intense trauma is too much. I’m an extremely sincere and direct counselor who rejects polarizations. We are all human, carrying both neurosis and wisdom. I thrive working with trauma, veterans, conflicted couples, ‘resistant’ individuals, and equity-focused men’s groups. I believe balancing the masculine and feminine within us to be a profound spiritual achievement. Therapy with me prioritizes courage and clarity over fear. Together, we engage somatic awareness, immediate experience, and mindful presence to foster real transformation.

Like the hollow bone in shamanic tradition, you are meant to be open—free to feel, connect, and move with the natural flow of life. Yet, the weight of sorrow, overwhelm, and painful experiences can settle in that sacred space, making it harder to feel fully connected to yourself and others. This isn’t a sign of failure, but a reflection of the tender places within you that are longing for care, release, and healing. Together, we will slow down to honor your way of feeling, thinking, and sensing, making room for authenticity, ease, and inner knowing already within you.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
