I work with adults and couples carrying relationship strain, chronic stress, grief, identity questions, or the emotional impact of illness, pain, infertility, or medical trauma. Perhaps you are the one who keeps functioning, caring for others, or holding everything together while feeling increasingly disconnected from yourself. As a couple, you may be caught in cycles of pursuit, withdrawal, caregiving, or silence. I work with adults and couples, including men, LGBTQIA+ clients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals, who want to understand these patterns and feel more connected, grounded, and fully themselves.

I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
Are you a successful professional or high achiever who feels like life should be more rewarding, yet happiness seems just out of reach?

I provide a private, trusted space to explore what’s holding you back, address hidden struggles, and work toward a life that feels as good as it looks. Together, we’ll turn self-doubt and dissatisfaction into clarity and purpose.

I work with teens, adults, and couples across Virginia who are seeking greater insight or meaningful change and may feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in repeating patterns, navigating grief, or experiencing disconnection in their relationships.

You're the one everyone calls. The capable one, the dependable one, the one who just figures it out. And you do, every single time. But lately? It's heavier than it used to be.
You're tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix. You're functioning, but you know you're not really living. If you're honest, you've been putting yourself last for so long you're not even sure what you actually need anymore. A lot of my clients grew up learning early that their feelings and needs weren't important. Sound familiar? Then you're in exactly the right place.

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
