In therapy with me you will find that I emphasize acceptance of emotions, reframing negative thinking, and offering self-grace. I try to help you dig deeper to get the root issue that is causing you to be different than the way you want to be.

We are talking about you and your life, things that matter so I am open and non-judging, relaxed, and very real.

I've spent my career in community mental health, working with adults, teens, couples, and families navigating real, everyday challenges - relationship stress, family conflict, financial pressure, and anxiety. I know that asking for help isn't easy, and I don't take that lightly. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Virginia, and I offer telehealth sessions so you can get support from anywhere in the state - no commute, no waiting rooms. I accept most major insurance plans including Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, Kaiser, Carelon, and CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, so cost is rarely a reason to put this off.
