Life can be rough sometimes. If you’re struggling…with depression, anxiety, marital conflict, an out-of-control child, an addiction or loss, or some other problem that feels overwhelming…I’d like the opportunity to help. For years I have had the privilege of helping individuals, couples, and families to gain the strength, courage, skills and insights necessary to handle life’s challenges. And, although you may be feeling frustrated, discouraged or even hopeless now, I want you to know that there is hope and there are solutions and I'd like to help you find them.

I have been serving the children, adolescents, and families in Central Virginia in a variety of counseling capacities since 2009.
Hello friends. My goal is to create a non-judgmental and calm environment so you or your family member can focus on the life issues that matter to you. I want to help you explore your strengths so that together we can work towards goals that, in turn, will help you to break down the barriers that are holding back change and fulfillment. I meet you where you are through humor, empathy, and curiosity. Come and kick off your shoes and get comfy (and a little uncomfortable at times), or maybe lace up your shoes and take a walk with me while we tackle the hard stuff together.

"Worried Well" describes those who are dealing with life the best they can in spite of anxious thoughts, depressed moods, overwhelming stress, or grieving. Juggling demands of work and home, struggling with relationships or divorce or a loved one's addiction, or experiencing significant losses can make anyone doubt life will get better. Some feel guilty or selfish for experiencing these thoughts and feelings. Many question God or harbor anger and resentment toward others. Some are simply numb and can no longer find joy in the journey. You are not alone!
