Prolonged Exposure Therapy in Richmond, VA
Are anxiety and stress interfering in your life? I would like to help. I specialize in treating OCD (harm OCD, health OCD, relationship OCD, just right OCD, and more). I am also a trauma specialist and work with all forms of trauma and PTSD. I help people resolve their past trauma, invalidation, and unhelpful teachings/thinking processes so that they can leave their baggage behind and proceed as they wish into their relationships and life goals. I also treat depression, anxiety, panic, generalized worry, rumination, relationship issues, unhealthy coping behaviors, or even just managing every day stressors.

Making the decision to start therapy is a profound investment of your time, energy, and vulnerability. If you are looking for a blank-slate clinician who simply nods and listens, we might not be the best fit. I offer a highly engaged, malleable, and unflinching partnership. My approach is rooted in the belief that while the work of untangling our lives is deeply structural, the room itself doesn't always have to feel heavy. I bring a grounded warmth to my practice—which means knowing how to sit quietly in the gravity of a difficult truth, but also knowing when to break the tension, exhale, and find the light in the complexity.

I could throw a lot of buzzwords at you about holistic care, mindfulness, and wellness but you've likely read enough of that by the time you've gotten here. So I'd rather be honest: In a world that feels so unauthentic right now, I strive to provide a space where you can speak freely and process what is going on with you and around you. I am a firm believer everyone is the master of their own experience, and therapy can be used as a tool to focus on changes you want to make and help you cope with it all. My goal is for you to show up each session willing to dive deep and make those shifts.
