My approach to therapy is to create a safe environment where persons can address their emotional and mental health issues and to have the counselor walk with them through their present brokenness towards hope, wholeness, and redemption. And to integrate Christian faith with counseling practices in an effort to address the needs of the whole person: body, mind, spirit, emotions, and relationships.

Pursuing therapy is a courageous act! I recognize the difficulty of this choice and have great respect for each client who presents themselves to me for help. My aim is to make therapy a safe place where you can express your feelings openly, work through difficult issues and develop tools and solutions. My approach to therapy is to start with a strong relationship based on trust and acceptance, identify your goals and use cognitive behavioral therapy tools to teach you how to look at the ways your thinking patterns influence your feelings about yourself and ultimately how you behave in your life. In addition to giving you a space to process thoughts and feelings, I want to provide you with tools to use outside therapy sessions to better cope with difficulties. Specifically, I will help you focus on self compassion and mindfulness to improve your ability to be present in your life, approach yourself with kindness and find your own inner wisdom. If you are grieving or traumatized and need a safe, accepting and nurturing space to process and integrate these experiences or struggling with anxious or depressive thoughts, difficulty navigating relationships, history of abusive or troubled relationships, reach out and we will explore together to help you approach yourself with more care and acceptance.

Our weight-obsessed culture chastises and shames you, as though your body size is not only a personal moral failing, but a reliable indicator of poor health. Over time, you started internalizing this anti-fat bias, and often treat yourself with the same level of contempt. You either avoid seeking medical care altogether, or expose yourself to the risk of weight stigma (far more harmful than any presumed adverse effect of your weight itself). You forgot how to nourish yourself – sometimes forbidding yourself food, sometimes isolating in shame for a binge, sometimes "paying" via purge. But friend, you are meant to bloom - not shrink. View 4 Photos I know this may be difficult to believe right now, but you are already lovely, wise, and worthy of much more in life. I’ll hold that thought for you as you relearn it, and we use it as the foundation of our work. From there, we’ll integrate cognitive behavioral strategies with EMDR to gain insights from the present to heal your old wounds once and for all. You deserve to fully enjoy, nourish, and be at peace with your body. Learn to better understand your thoughts and emotions, and stop wasting energy on what others think. Explore the root causes of the shame you've been taught, and work to move past it – your deepest self longs to be known. Call me now for your free consultation, and let’s get started today!

Are you feeling confused and isolated due to a loss? It is hard to come to terms with the idea we are grieving. While many people can easily relate grief to the death of a person or pet, suffering, in reality, expands across so many areas that we encounter on a day-to-day basis. Maybe you are going through a breakup or struggling with fertility, or you just found out your favorite coworker is moving to a new company. Perhaps you finished that last sip of wine that you brought back from the trip of a lifetime. There are many reasons to grieve, and unfortunately, when we don't know how to process grief, it can make us feel trapped. View 3 Photos I am a certified grief-informed professional with advanced training in complex & traumatic grief. Let me help you navigate what is holding you at this place of loneliness and concern. Grief can often come out in the form of anxiety or depression, and working through the root cause of our distress can allow us to move forward with what we have lost. I'm not here to tell you what you should and shouldn't do. I understand everyday life's conflicting priorities and demands while struggling with your internal issues. My goal is to help you find a way to move forward with your loss as a part of your story and continue to grow with it, not from it.

I spent over a decade working at a fast-growing tech company only to come to the realization that I want to follow my true calling in helping those in need. I received my bachelor’s of science degree in psychology from Virginia Tech and my master’s of arts in clinical mental health counseling from Marymount University. As a family oriented person, I enjoy spending my free time with my husband, daughter, and 2 cats.

Do you feel everything in the world, both joys and sorrows, deeply? Are you sensitive or feel that others don't "get" you? Do others consider you gifted, even if you don't? Are life transitions or even everyday life stresses difficult for you? Have you been diagnosed with ADHD, anxiety, or a mood disorder? If so, I can help. My clients are often smart, skilled, and talented, but struggle in reaching what they feel is their full potential. Often, they feel like others don't see them and even that they don't know themselves. Being unseen is itself a trauma. Giftedness and high sensitivity make one neuro-atypical, yet they are rarely acknowledged as such. Together, we can explore your gifts and sensitivities and how you can manifest them in everyday life, as well as how to handle and express the depths of your thoughts and feelings in a world built for "normal." I work with people of all ages who are able to participate in teletherapy. My multi-disciplinary background (law, developmental and cognitive psychology, neurotherapy, counseling) provides given me the foundation to see and connect with the many facets of my clients. It is my honor to hear their stories.
