Therapists in Charlottesville, VA
It's hard for anyone to talk about personal issues. Anyone brave enough to do this launches themselves into a life giving process that increases the possibilities of their lives forever. It brings about unbelievable changes opening possibilities never thought of. It's hard work. It's scary. But it teaches one to live effectively with what life has brought and create changes that enhance the life that is. It's a journey into the good and the bad that takes a person to new heights. It's an exploration that creates love and light in a life.

Do you struggle to have strong connections with loved ones, to progress in your life and career? Sometimes you might find that you are tired, struggling to motivate, feel keyed up, react defensively, or use alcohol to relax. Memories of past experiences may find their way into your mind only to distract and create distress. It’s likely you understand what is going on but feel overwhelmed about how to change it or worse, you have tried but haven’t been able to make significant or longstanding changes. This can leave you discouraged and the subject of your inner critic.

Chronic illness or pain present unique challenges for individuals and families. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, learn to live a better and healthier life. I specialize in helping people with chronic medical conditions improve their physical and emotional functioning. Do you have chronic headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic low back pain, or fibromyalgia? Each of these conditions can be alleviated by using psychological treatments.

I work with teens, young adults (college students), adults, and couples who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, family conflict, and self-esteem.

I support clients with both the daily stressors of life and deeper emotional, behavioral, and relational challenges. Past experiences—especially unresolved emotional memories—often shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world.

"I hope you are blessed with a heart like a wildflower. Strong enough to rise again after being trampled upon, tough enough to weather the worst of summer storms, and able to grow and flourish even in the most broken places." -Nikita Gill The impact of trauma, anxiety, or depression in your life can lead you to feel isolated, stuck, or disempowered.

My journey to becoming a therapist started at age 12, inspired by a natural inclination to help people through their struggles. I'm very honest and upfront, but I try to approach therapy from a joyful space, often using humor to help us navigate difficult challenges. At NOCD, my team and I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment for OCD. Our deep understanding of its nuances allows us to diagnose and treat it effectively. We've received intensive training in Exposure Response and Prevention Therapy (ERP)—the gold standard treatment for OCD.
