Do you feel stuck and uncertain about the future, desiring to become the best version of yourself? I specialize in utilizing a strengths-based approach to treatment providing freedom from negative self-talk and past trauma. Anxiety, depression, life transition, and day to day stress can be hard to manage. Feelings of isolation and loneliness can become cumbersome and create a sense of hopelessness and helplessness. I utilize integrative strategies and a holistic model to develop self-acceptance and freedom from painful thoughts and feelings.

I believe having healthy and whole relationships is the key to well-being and happiness. As a therapist, I work with individuals, couples, and families in developing effective communication and in building meaningful connection. My approach is collaborative, practical, yet integrative, striving to help individuals utilize their strengths and understand their growing edges.

Day to day life can be exhausting, stressful and anxiety inducing. It is easier said than done to “enjoy the little things in life,” when we have so many outside pressures weighing on us. When we feel overwhelmed by these pressures our mental health and personal relationships can suffer. I hope to assist you and yours in managing difficult times and strengthening your relationships. When our environment seems too overwhelming we can find ourselves getting stuck repeating the same non-productive behaviors. Children seem unmanageable, we don't feel as connected to our partners or spouses anymore and we don't even recognize ourselves.

You have to be strong, in order to keep loving each other after the newness of a relationship wears off.

A good relationship is high-maintenance. There are no shortcuts to change and growth. Good therapy will change your brain and your life. To have a world-class relationship, you have to work for it.

Seeking therapeutic support can be challenging, scary, and overwhelming due to fears of being judged, uncertainty of the direction to take, and who to reach out to. My goal is to create an inviting environment where you can begin the process of addressing your goals and personal struggles. I believe we all face a time where we need extra support outside of our friends and families. Where we can focus on our own personal growth and empowerment by exploring thoughts, feelings, and life experiences to increase effective coping skills, problem solving skills, and new perspectives.

TELEHEALTH AVAILABLE TO ALL VIRGINIA RESIDENTS! Therapy should be like a birdhouse- a safe place in which to seek refuge from the storm of life while you rest your soul, unburden your mind, and rebuild your strength. I strive to provide you with that birdhouse as I help you understand your behavior, organize your mind, let go of unhealthy patterns, develop new skills, and ultimately reveal your best life. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families and thrive on helping my clients unfold their wings and fly.

Everyone needs a little help sometimes. I enjoy helping people to find their innermost strengths; their gifts, talents and abilities that they were created with.

I see adults who are suffering from depression and/or anxiety. I assist them in making better life choices to overcome the depression and anxiety. I also work with women who are escaping an abusive relationship and assist them in relearning who they are as an individual, not just an abused spouse. These women typically have self-esteem issues and it can be difficult to believe that they can survive on their own. Helping them through this struggle is difficult, but rewarding.

I help individuals and couples break unhealthy patterns and remove barriers to create the life they want. I provide you with tools of proven treatment strategies to create solutions that work for your life. The combination of my experience as a registered nurse and licensed therapist creates my person-centered and highly individualized approach. I am fortunate to be able to give couples effective tools to learn how to resolve issues and regain hope in their relationship. In addition to working with couples, I greatly enjoy working with teenagers and their parents as they navigate this challenging life phase.

TELEHEALTH AVAILABLE As individuals we face many situations in life that can affect us in different ways. There are times when these situations can become more difficult than others and can affect our relationships, our performance at work or school, or even in our daily activities. At this point we face a challenge to start a learning process, strengthen our coping skills and overcome these obstacles in life. Please know that you don’t have to go through this process alone. In therapy, we can work collaboratively to identify your challenges, define your goals more clearly and create a plan according to your own needs.

I believe that each person is on a unique journey. Each person has their own story and when life becomes overwhelming we loose sight of our path on that journey. Therapy is a collaborative effort - it is the persons' journey and the therapist is a guide. Each person has the ability to find their way within their environment to be the best they want to be. Being "stuck" or "unsure" of your path can be the catalyst to making changes that you have been afraid to make.
