*Serving individuals who live in Virginia only* We aim to expand the traditional limitations and labels of mental health and integrate a collective approach, one which aims to normalize grief in all areas of life. We believe that no matter what, life is better when we live it in connection with others. Our hope is to promote individual and community healing by moving away from pathologizing the natural responses people experience as a result of profound life changing events.

I am a psychotherapist for individuals and couples. Do you want stronger, clearer and healthier relationships?

We train, monitor, and educate clients on skills development for living independently. We teach clients about their psychotropic medication and ensure medication management. We connect and educate clients to and about community resources. We also demonstrate, train, and model self-advocacy skills to our clients. Our clients may have treatment history that includes substance abuse or doctor's recommendation.

Hello! Thank you for taking the time to inquire more about the services I offer. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in VA and a Board Certified Clinical Supervisor for LPC Residents. I offer individual, family, and group counseling to a variety of ages including children, adolescents, and adults.

Therapy is a place where we are allowed to be raw, imperfect, vulnerable humans in a society that expects us to be flawlessly composed. I focus my practice on personal power and can provide you with tools to work on whatever is causing your stress, whether that's in the present, past, or future. My goal in counseling is to be a source of unconditional support while we step back and explore the ways in which social forces impact(ed) the ways you understand yourself and the world. I firmly believe knowing oneself as a whole person is a crucial step to substantial and sustainable change and know we can find solutions to help you grow.

Looking for help is the first step. Whether you have experienced a traumatic event or events in the distant past or more recently or have feelings of being sad and depressed or anxious. It could be that you are in a difficult time in your life or that you are ready for a time of growth. I believe that everyone has the capability to heal and to grow. Every individual, couple, and family are different and I customize my therapeutic plan for your individual needs.

Navigating the challenges of life can be difficult for all of us. Taking care of yourself holistically is an important factor for obtaining and maintaining a healthy balanced lifestyle. Are you seeking a safe space where you can exhale, put things in perspective, deal with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, or just battling with your own thoughts on what to do and how to proceed in your life's journey? Are you wanting to overcome certain obstacles in your life? There is nothing like taking ownership of your life and controlling life's journey at your own pace! I will challenge you to produce real positive outcomes.

I believe there is an optimizing force in each of us that guides unfolding and that my role is to help you release blocks to this natural process. My work is grounded in inquiry and exploration. I will meet you where your questions, heart-longings, and pain reside. My extensive background in addictions, codependency and recovery and in co-occurring issues including depression, anxiety and trauma, has taught me about resiliency of the human spirit. I will help you access both inner and outer resources. Through the therapy process we will not only discover, but refine tools unique for you.

It is a great honor to witness people's return to their unique expression of wholeness. The essence of my work lies in meeting you with an attitude of heartful curiosity so that you may safely explore stressors and renegotiate traumas. I utilize integrative body-based modalities incorporating latest discoveries and research in mind-body psychology that do not require reliving intense emotions or detailing painful memories. We will work to discover new resources and truths so that you may experience a newfound sense of well-being and trust in the unfolding process of your life's journey.

Your sense of well-being, including mental and emotional health, is a vital part of your overall health and thriving and benefits from care and attention. Thinking "Hey, maybe I could use therapy," is pivotal. Usually it's pain, suffering, confusion, difficult emotions, and things just not going right that bring us to therapy. AND although it can feel otherwise, there's no shame in needing or wanting support, or participating in therapy. My hope is that therapy helps you experience greater self-acceptance, compassion, and ease with yourself and your life - it's a worthy and doable endeavor.

Are you going through a difficult time at work, home or in relationships? Are you feeling over-whelmed, nervous and anxious? I'd like to help you identify the hidden meaning behind these feelings by providing you with a nurturing and supportive environment. We will work together to develop helpful tools to foster improvement in your daily life. I know how hard it is to ask for help. It may feel risky and uncomfortable. I respect that and will meet you where you are throughout the counseling process.
