I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, OCD, attachment concerns, boundary/ communication limitations, and issues involving gender and sexuality Identity. I also enjoy working with those navigating transitions such as young adulthood, career changes , pregnancy and motherhood/ Parenting.
Nobody exists in a vacuum. Although life can be isolating, you don’t have to do it alone. There is great power in showing up as yourself and connecting with a fellow human being. Like you, I am human! I’m a woman, a wife, a mother, an immigrant, a person of faith, and a therapist. Being a therapist is one of my highest callings. And I do it by being 100% me so you can have space to be unapologetically you. And as a result, find beauty and meaning as you wrestle in your process, even if it hurts.

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to see if we can be a good fit for one another. My goal is to help guide you to lead your best life in a safe and non-judgmental space.
I love this work. It is such a privilege and a joy to walk with people through their lives, relationships, and experiences. It is a special thing to get to do and these days I am particularly focused on working with clients toward healing from trauma and past experiences while moving forward in their present life.
I have been licensed since 2015. I graduated from Capella University with my Master's from Gordon College with my Bachelor's.
I have worked with folks from all walks of life and come from a space of cultural humility so that I can really meet my clients where they are. I use an eclectic approach, pulling from CBT, ACT, and mindfulness. Above all, my goal is to empower my clients to address their challenges with curiosity instead of judgment, collaborating and exploring along the way.
Life can feel overwhelming, and reaching out for help isn't always easy. Whether you're feeling anxious, stuck, grieving, or simply ready for change, you don't have to face it alone.
Therapy is about more than getting through difficult moments t's about building the confidence and skills to move forward. If you're ready to take that first step, I'd be honored to walk alongside you. Let's connect and see if we're a good fit.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Virginia
Searching for therapists in Virginia starts with finding the right clinical fit for your needs. Virginia has a wide mix of therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas, so available options can vary by location. You may want support for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Virginia therapists, look for training, listed specialties, and therapy approaches that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their style, experience, and what sessions may look like.
Practical fit matters, too. Whether you are looking for therapy in Virginia Beach, Richmond, Northern Virginia, or a smaller community, consider whether in-person or virtual care works better for your schedule. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual sessions from home. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and whether they are accepting new patients. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, specialties, and scheduling options in one place.
The cost of mental health care in Virginia varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose from appointments that fit your schedule. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans. You can browse therapists in Virginia, review bios, check availability, and book directly when you are ready.
