​I am passionate about helping people work through current struggles by healing from trauma, improving self-esteem, managing stress, anxiety and depression symptoms. It takes a great deal of courage to be open and vulnerable in therapy. I have a great appreciation for this willingness and meet each person where they are.

 ​

I strive to create a safe and trusting space within the therapy room with the use of empathy, genuineness and unconditional positive regard. I work with clients through a co-created experience where we connect the past to the present and find opportunities for growth and change. 

I have received training in and currently hold a certificate in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I often incorporate this into my practice helping clients to understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and ​how they influence maladaptive patterns. 

After graduating with my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology, I moved to Pennsylvania. During that time, I earned a Master of Arts degree in Professional Clinical Counseling and gained a great deal of experience working in a variety of settings. I provided in-home therapy using a teams-based approach to work with children, adolescents, and their families. My most recent experience has been in a traditional outpatient therapy setting providing mostly telehealth services.  

In 2021, I relocated back to Virginia with my husband.  I am licensed to practice in Virginia and Pennsylvania. I provide both in-person and telehealth counseling.
