Therapists Beginning With C in Virginia
My therapeutic lens is intersectional, affirming, and culturally grounded. I draw from Feminist Theory, Relational-Cultural Therapy, and Liberatory Counseling to honor the broader systems - cultural, familial, and social - that have shaped your experience, while integrating practical tools from CBT, DBT, and ACT to support skill-building and lasting change. In practice, this means our work will be both pragmatic and comprehensive. It will be grounded in the day-to-day challenges you're navigating, while attending to the underlying factors which shape them.

I am part of LGBTQ+ community, I’m committed to creating an affirming, inclusive space where you can show up as your full, authentic self without fear of judgment.

Helping children and teens talk, especially when they are hurting, overwhelmed, anxious, angry, or completely shut down, is often the hardest part for parents.

Many parents come to me saying, "my child just won't talk to me" or "they won't talk to anyone".

Sometimes we can feel weighed down by all of our day-to-day responsibilities. It can start to feel like things are piling up and we are unable to effectively manage daily tasks. Especially if we have past trauma or negative experiences that still feel unresolved. Fully processing and addressing these past hurts can help us to feel lighter and freer. The heaviness is no longer there and we can successfully take on all of life’s challenges.

I work with adults and couples navigating life's most meaningful transitions. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning individuals who appear to have everything under control but are privately struggling with anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, burnout, caregiving responsibilities, or major life changes.
