When your health changes, your whole life can change.

Maybe you don’t feel like yourself anymore.

You may be living with a chronic illness, unpredictable symptoms, pain, fatigue, or a condition that other people can’t see. You may still be working, caring for your family, and doing everything you’re expected to do—but you’re exhausted from trying to keep up with a life that no longer fits your body.

Perhaps you’re grieving the person you used to be, struggling with anxiety about the future, feeling guilty when you need to rest or say no, or wondering how to maintain your relationships while your needs are changing.

You don’t have to choose between accepting your new reality and still wanting a meaningful life.

Therapy can help you:

  • Adjust to changes in your health and abilities.
  • Grieve the life, roles, or identity you may have lost.
  • Manage anxiety about symptoms and the future.
  • Develop a healthier relationship with limitations, rest, and self-care.
  • Navigate changes in work, family, friendships, and relationships.
  • Reconnect with who you are beyond your diagnosis.
  • Find meaning and purpose when life looks different than you expected.

You are more than your diagnosis.

Together, we can work toward a life that feels meaningful—not necessarily the life you originally planned, but one that fits who you are now.

Welcome! Since space is limited, let's hit the ground running! I have been a counselor since 2003 and am licensed in Virginia, Texas, and Pennsylvania. Prior to this, I worked as a respiratory therapist, so I am familiar with the stress medical personal face, as well as issues related to trauma, death and dying. In particular, I enjoy working with those who are struggling with existential questions or have suffered moral injury.

Meet your therapist: I have 8+ years of experience in the field of counseling. It is truly my passion. My favorite thing is seeing a client overcome a challenge they once said would be "impossible." (Hint: Almost nothing is impossible with the right support!) I form a personal and intentional relationship with each client and I will walk with you through moments that are uncomfortable or difficult. Outside of work I can be found cooking and spending time on the farm with my three fantastic dogs.
