Now seeing clients in person (Richmond) and virtually across the entire state of Virginia for your convenience. Many of my clients are women in midlife navigating the changes that come with menopause and life transitions, or veterans adjusting to life after military service. Both groups often face unique stressors that can feel overwhelming, whether it’s trauma and PTSD, difficulties with boundaries, or struggles that trickle into relationships and careers. If you recognize yourself in this, you may be longing for a sense of balance, clarity, and relief, as well as a safe space to untangle what’s been weighing you down.

Sometimes words aren’t enough. If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed, therapy doesn’t have to happen in a chair across from someone. I offer a different approach — one that blends art-making with ecotherapy walk and talk sessions. Whether we’re creating in the studio or walking together outdoors, these sessions invite you to slow down, reconnect, and explore what’s coming up in a more embodied, creative way.
I work with teens and adults navigating trauma, sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, burnout, and identity exploration — including LGBTQ+ experiences.

Is your child struggling? Is your relationship feeling disconnected?
The meltdowns, the anxiety, the behaviors that leave you exhausted. Or maybe it's the distance between you and your partner. Two people in the same house feeling miles apart. You know something needs to change, but you're tired of navigating it alone.
My approach is quiet and steady. I create a low-pressure space where children and couples can ease into the process without feeling overwhelmed or put on the spot. For children who shut down with big personalities or clients who've felt steamrolled in therapy before, I use a calm, low pressure approach.
