Personal Statement
Trauma has a way of convincing you that you're stuck, broken, or always waiting for the next bad thing to happen. The good news? None of that has to be your forever. I work with young adults who are tired of just surviving. Whether you're dealing with PTSD, childhood trauma, anxiety, relationship patterns that keep repeating themselves, or emotions that seem to have a mind of their own, we'll figure it out together. My therapy style is anything but robotic. I show up as a real person, and I invite you to do the same. Therapy with me is collaborative, creative, and tailored to who you are.
I have worked in primary care and medical environments for over 6 years as a therapist/clinical social worker.
My background is primarily working with patients faced with mood disorders such as anxiety, and depression. My expertise has expanded to treat PTSD and dissociative disorders as well as borderline personality disorder.
As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.
I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.
My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.
I am originally from North Carolina and moved to Virginia 6 years ago. I studied at Wake Forest University. Since I was younger, I've enjoyed helping others and learning about the science of mental health. It became my hobby when I was younger. I enjoy working with so many backgrounds and increasing my education each year as I help new people. Currently, I like to utilize mindfulness based CBT, DBT, and ACT.
My goal is to help you identify challenges, improve coping and determine the next steps toward meaningful, lasting change.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience in various settings. I am dedicated to supporting clients by fostering a collaborative, trusting and empathetic environment.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Charlottesville, VA
Finding therapists in Charlottesville starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for therapy in Charlottesville for anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship concerns, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling. A therapist’s profile can also help you understand their style, what sessions may focus on, and whether their experience fits what you are looking for.
In a smaller city like Charlottesville, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Virginia markets. Virtual sessions can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Virginia. As you narrow your options, consider whether you prefer in-person care near Downtown, Belmont, or nearby neighborhoods, or the flexibility of virtual appointments. It also helps to check appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before you book can give you a clearer sense of communication style, therapy approach, and fit.
Therapy in Charlottesville can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find therapists in Charlottesville, VA who take insurance, show available appointment times, and provide estimated costs before you book. You can compare profiles, review specialties, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
