Your happiness matters. Right now, life doesn’t look anything like what you imagined. You keep trying to find a way to get back to moments that were happier….lighter….easier. If the heartbreaking moments are outweighing the heartfelt moments, I can help. Hand in hand, we will identify new ways of relating with yourself and those you love that feels more satisfying. I'll help you heal pain points, make sense of the messy parts, and reauthor your story, so you can invite more playful moments, joy, and closeness back into your day and your relationships. Sessions focus on practical approaches to getting you back to joyful moments faster. If you are wanting meaningful change, email me for a free, 15 minute consultation, and let's see how I can help.

Online Therapy Details: I am offering easily accessible teletherapy sessions, including EMDR, for Virginia residents. Evening appointments available.

I am honored to sit with individuals and couples in the messy parts of their story and help them get to the heart of the issues causing them heartache and hurt. It is my mission to create an inclusive, safe space for all clients, where they feel valued, seen, and heard. Together, we will figure out a pace that feels right so that it is less scary as we lean into the hard stuff. Our work is never about finding the “bad guy,” pointing fingers, or shaming. You deserve a safe place to unpack the big, scary stuff.

I approach every client with unwavering empathy. I believe sensitivity and compassion, coupled with my dedication to the expansion of my expertise, allows me to serve as a highly-trained and knowledgeable resource to my clients. Over the past five years, I have gained specialized, intensive training in emotionally focused therapy (EFT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Theraplay (Level 1). I also have developed skills in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), strengths-based therapies, self-compassion training, attachment-based therapies, and solution-focused therapy.
