Misunderstood, ashamed, angry, confused, sad, anxious, apathetic, lost - these are a few common emotions that can often feel overwhelming and isolating. My goal is to help clients overcome their obstacles, uncover their own strengths, accompany them on their healing journey, and empower them with the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, self-harm, interpersonal conflict, anger, emotional dysregulation, low self-esteem, life transitions, behavioral problems, and more.
I am committed to tailoring therapy to meet the needs of my clients by incorporating a variety of techniques. I do this through the foundation of a collaborative, client-centered approach to Cognitive-Behavioral Theory (CBT), mindfulness, and Attachment Theory, always striving to create an environment of safety, trust, warmth, and honesty.
At your request, I also incorporate spirituality and faith into counseling. Working with clients to set and achieve goals, I help them develop the awareness and agency to make lasting, positive change in their own lives. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and North Carolina, and a National Certified Counselor.
