Maybe you replay conversations in your head, question your decisions, worry about disappointing others, or feel stuck in patterns you can't quite explain.

Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, you don't have to keep carrying it alone.

I use mCBT and ACT strategies when you need them to help you make connections; deal with difficult emotions; or motivate you to take action.
Do you get anxious and flooded with emotions that keep from being yourself? Do you avoid conflict, procrastinate and put on a happy face to just go with the flow? Sometimes unhealthy coping habits creep in…are you using substances or unhealthy habits to calm yourself or to avoid speaking your truth to others? Numbing yourself or “rewarding" yourself with an addiction does not have a positive outcome. Let me help you show up for yourself and those you care about most.

*ONLINE COUNSELING ANYWHERE IN VIRGINIA* Do you feel unsettled or that you're not where you want to be in life? Maybe you’re wondering if you’ll ever be a “good enough” partner, wife, mother, friend, or just good enough, in general. Or you’re faced with an important life decision like marriage, a new job, or whether or not to have a baby. You can’t really put your finger on why these decisions are so hard for you and that keeps you stuck and feeling anxious all the time. You have a hard time trusting your gut or listening to that quiet voice inside you that’s telling you something’s not right.

I focus on the theory of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT) because it helps clients address challenges in a flexible and empowering way.
Life can feel heavy when you're carrying so much for everyone else. Whatever brought you here, you don't have to do it alone. I help clients who are dealing with overwhelming anxiety, depression, or difficult life transitions, as well as those who are experiencing intrusive thoughts and compulsions. If you feel pressured by constant worry, apathy, and "what-if" thinking, you are not alone and counseling can help! By sharing your concerns, you can work toward emotional and mental wellness. I enjoy working with diverse populations and consider it a privilege to learn from each person's unique story, strengths, and life experiences.

This is a safe space for all parts of you, just as you are. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when chronic anxiety, overthinking, self-worth, and relationships overlap in ways that feel hard to untangle. I support those navigating anxiety and stress, identity and self-esteem concerns, relational patterns and wounds, chronic illness (POTS/EDS/etc), and times of change. My work is grounded in a culturally responsive, compassion-focused, and queer-competent approach, offering a collaborative and relational space to explore patterns, reduce anxiety, and create meaningful change that goes beyond coping alone.

I draw from CBT, ACT, IFS, EMDR-informed work, psychodynamic therapy, and assessment-guided treatment.
I work best with people whose struggles do not fit neatly into one box: bright but overwhelmed teens, adults with ADHD or anxiety, people carrying trauma, professionals under pressure, and clients seeking diagnostic clarity. Many come to me after feeling misunderstood, mislabeled, or stuck despite real effort. I help people slow the picture down, understand the patterns beneath the symptoms, and build a practical path forward.
