Lonely but not alone. Another scroll through your social feed - Wedding pics. A baby on the way. A new house. Those couples look so annoyingly happy. And here you are. With YOUR partner thinking, “Where's our happily ever after?" In the beginning, you had so much fun together - talking and laughing for hours - but now you haven’t had a real conversation in weeks. And what’s the point in talking? It’s just fight after fight. You thought you had so much in common. Now, you're not sure you even KNOW who your partner is anymore. Romance, intimacy, and trust are long gone. "Would it be better if we just called it quits?"

Harrisonburg, VA 22802
My ideal client is someone who is navigating life transitions or recovering from painful experiences—someone who may feel stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed, but who deeply desires change- maybe an adolescent wrestling with identity, emotional regulation, or anxiety; a college student coping with the stress of independence, academic expectations and social pressures, or unresolved trauma; or an adult working through complex issues such as domestic violence, abuse, grief, attachment wounds, or spirituality.
As a biblical and clinical counselor, I strive to unite the truth of the Gospel with effective therapeutic tools to foster holistic change. By combining trauma healing with biblical truth, I use Biblical narratives to help normalize pain and offer hope, while aligning with trauma-informed approaches such as Narrative Exposure Therapy and Trauma Focused CBT.

Most of my clients are looking for better ways to manage anxiety, depression, relationship issues, grief, and/or abusive relationships. Some are teenagers, some adults. No matter the age, they seek balance, meaning, and truth. They want to be better & show up in more positive ways for themselves and the ones they love. The most successful clients are those who are honest, open to feedback, and who are willing to do the work, to practice the new skills they are learning outside the counseling room. They're not afraid to grow and change.

Sometimes we find ourselves thinking about past. When thoughts are negative or scary, we tend to lock them away in order to function during the day. Those past experiences may feel like they have you stuck with one foot in the past, unable to progress in different areas of your life. My office is your safe space. Together, we will learn how to rebuild trust, regulate overwhelming emotions, and develop coping mechanisms to navigate triggers.

Teen Therapists

What does therapy for teenagers look like?

When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?

There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?

You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
