It can be difficult to deal with life’s ongoing challenges on your own. I can help guide you, but you are in the driver’s seat when it comes to your counseling sessions. You decide where you want to go and we will come up with a plan of how to get there. My goal is to support you while you make the changes you are seeking with the tools I can provide. My role is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard and understood.

I am trained in Family Centered Therapy, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Problematic Sexual Behavior in Children, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also have experience working with active-duty service members and their families, as well as survivors of child abuse and domestic violence.

I have a double Master's and a Doctoral degree in psychology. I began my graduate study In NYC in 2006 doing research and clinical work in attachment theory both with young children and adults. It was there that I witnessed the impact of early and adult attachments. I have trained and worked in a variety of settings and each time I witnessed the fundamental human need of a secure, responsive and safe connection and the impact of isolation and trauma.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Weyers Cave, VA


Life can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, our relationships, or the life we imagined. You may be carrying anxiety, grief, loneliness, or the weight of life’s many transitions. Therapy offers a place to slow down, be deeply heard, and gently reconnect with yourself. I believe healing begins in a caring, trusting relationship where you feel accepted just as you are. Together we’ll explore the patterns that have shaped your life, discover new possibilities, and help you move toward greater peace, confidence, and connection.


I bring 18 years of professional experience, along with the wisdom that comes from a lifetime of living. As an elder I hold a compassionate, curious space to help you grow into the person you are meant to be. Clients often tell me they appreciate my calm, compassionate presence and the feeling that they can simply be themselves. My role is to walk beside you with warmth, curiosity and gentle guidance.
