Every person's path is different and no one heals exactly the same. I understand that starting to explore our own behaviors can be scary. I think sometimes life can feel like we are navigating an obstacle course in the dark. Therapy might not resolve all of the obstacles but might help us to turn on the light. My goal is to create a safe space and a trusting relationship where people can deeply explore what is causing them discomfort so they can improve their quality of life. My clients are the driving force of their treatment and treatment plans. You are the expert in your life.
You have a voice and a choice. Always.

My mission is to help you improve the quality of your life. Many people struggle with depression or anxiety stemming from marital or personal relationship issues, financial concerns or other life-altering circumstances. For 32 years I have helped clients work through troubling life situations. Your past does NOT predict your future. Who you can become is not defined by who you have been, who you think you are now, or by what experiences may have impacted your life to this point. My role is to challenge and empower you to transform your life, helping you to change your consistent behaviors to produce improved outcomes.

I am servicing Medicaid insurance (Anthem, Humana, Sentara, Aetna).
You’re the one who holds it together; until you can’t anymore. You feel stuck in patterns that keep repeating: emotional shutdowns, constant conflict, resentment, anxiety, or disconnection from the people you love most. You want real change, not surface-level coping. You want clarity, emotional safety, and relationships that don’t feel so hard. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are ready to break cycles, understand the “why” beneath their reactions, and build healthier ways of showing up, at home, in relationships, and within themselves.

Life is an amazing gift that is filled with a multitude of experiences and emotions. This journey can be filled with wonderful opportunities, hopes, and dreams. However, at other times, you may find yourself struggling with overwhelming emotional pain associated with depression, anxiety, a growing disconnect from loved ones, along with other relationship challenges. My passion is meeting people where they are as they travel their unique journeys, and creating a warm and safe, environment in which we can work collaboratively together.

Having worked with military service members for over two years, I understand the unique challenges and culture of military life. I provide a nonjudgmental, confidential space where individuals can openly process difficult experiences. Seeking therapy can be hard, especially within the military, but support is essential. I also work with civilians. I have experience helping clients with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and family concerns. I believe lasting change happens when individuals align their actions with their personal values and strengths to improve overall well-being.

Even strong, smart, successful people know when to utilize the help of experts. Maybe you’re not in crisis, just a couple in a “good enough” relationship, but some of the time things get painfully off track. Or an individual whose life seems to be going pretty well on the outside – but privately, you’re hurting. Sometimes, your ways of “getting by” turn into habits that need to be amended. It’s not always clear how to go about initiating change and it helps to have an objective perspective. Counseling is a great way to improve your life. Together we will explore, identify, and rebuild habits and patterns to provide lasting change.

I’ve worked with children and adults of all ages, individuals and groups, and clients struggling with mental health diagnoses, substance use, relationship issues, or any kind of daily life stressors.
I personally have a background in Women, Gender, & Sexuality studies (with a focus in Sexuality) and in intensive addiction counseling, but I love working with clients with all sorts of concerns!
Coming to therapy with a goal or strong drive you'd like to accomplish gives me a lot to work with in terms of treatment planning, but if all you know is that you need to talk to somebody that's still a good place to start.
