Life can be hard and sometimes overwhelming, but there is light, even if you can’t see it right now. You don’t have to carry everything alone. With support, healing and growth are possible. You deserve a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, but I’m here to walk alongside you. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with over 10 years of experience in the helping profession, including clinical mental health work since 2020. I earned my Master of Science in Education in Clinical Mental Health and School Counseling from Old Dominion University. I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and veterans ages 11 to 40 supporting concerns such as life transitions, relationships, anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, self-esteem, and personal growth. I focus on building a genuine connection and creating a safe, welcoming space where you can be yourself. I value cultural humility and honor your unique experiences and strengths, meeting you where you are while supporting your growth. I believe healing happens in supportive relationships. Whether you’re facing challenges, processing the past, or moving into a new chapter, I’m here to support you. There is hope, and together we can help you move forward. Outside of counseling, I enjoy singing, painting, music, travel, and exploring different cultures, which help keep me grounded and inspired.

Great to meet you!

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, awkward, or like something you’ve been putting off for way too long—and however you’re showing up, you’re allowed to come in exactly as you are.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (practicing psychotherapy since 2022 with prior experience in HR and Coaching) who focuses on creating a space where you don’t have to filter yourself or “get it right.” If your thoughts feel all over the place, if you don’t know where to start, or if part of you is unsure this will even help—that’s okay. We’ll figure it out together.

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, occupational stress, identity questions, relationship matters (kink and polyamory friendly), and feeling stuck in patterns that aren’t working anymore.

I also have experience working with more complex emotional and personality-related concerns, including Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD). A lot of my clients are used to holding it all together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, reactive, or exhausted on the inside—and are ready for something to actually shift.

My style is supportive but real. I’m here to listen, but also to help you understand what’s going on beneath the surface and start making changes that feel meaningful—not just temporary — via skills that go beyond breathwork.

I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and am currently pursuing a second Master’s in Applied Psychology, which reflects my commitment to continuing to grow and deepen the way I support my clients.

Outside of therapy, I’m into houseplants, video games, and spending time with my dogs—which mostly just means I understand the need for both structure and an escape sometimes.

Unconditional positive regard means being accepted and supported—no matter what. In a world where this kind of acceptance can feel rare, our work together can be a space where you feel truly seen and valued. I offer a compassionate, judgment-free environment where you can connect more deeply with yourself and others.


I work with clients navigating a wide range of experiences, including infertility, anxiety, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and transitions into and through parenthood. I also provide infertility consultations as requested by fertility clinics and doctors, following ASRM guidelines, to support individuals and couples using donor conception or gestational carriers.

You deserve a space to reflect, process, and reconnect with your inner strength. Whether you're grappling with uncertainty, grief, or simply seeking clarity, my goal is to walk alongside you with care and authenticity. If you're ready to deepen your connection with yourself and others, I would be honored to support you.
