My focus is on building a therapeutic relationship that feels warm, trustworthy, and empowering. My style blends gentle understanding with practical accountability — supporting you while also helping you create meaningful change.

In therapy, we may explore:

• Skills to manage emotions, stress, and overwhelm
• How thoughts influence feelings and behavior
• Understanding patterns connected to ADHD or anxiety
• Ways to navigate transitions or big life shifts
• Creative strategies that fit your personality and needs
• Building trust in yourself and confidence in your experiences
• What it means to feel safe, heard, and respected in relationships

Growth doesn’t have to be rushed — we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable, steady, and aligned with your goals.

My approach is warm, kind, and deeply relational. I show up with genuine care and curiosity — creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and accepted exactly as you are. I listen closely, ask meaningful questions, and offer tools that feel realistic for your everyday life.

In our work together, you can expect:

• A space where you’re believed and not judged
• Warmth, compassion, and honest support
• Skills from CBT and DBT to help with emotions and stress
• Creative activities tailored to your needs and learning style
• Safety to be open, even about the hard stuff
• A therapist who shows up consistently and genuinely cares
• Treatment shaped around your goals, values, and pace

My clients often tell me they finally feel listened to — sometimes for the first time in years — and that this makes all the difference.

I use evidence-based, trauma-aware methods that help clients build stability, insight, and coping skills.

You may see me use:

• Talk Therapy — reflective, supportive, grounding
• CBT — exploring thoughts, behaviors, and patterns
• DBT-informed skills — emotional regulation, distress tolerance, communication
• Creative interventions & activities — based on your needs and interests
• Trauma-informed care — safety, empowerment, and choice. I am currently completing training toward becoming a Certified Trauma-Informed Treatment Provider (CTTP) and bring trauma sensitivity into all sessions.

Our work is centered around what helps you feel supported, capable, and understood.

• Master of Science (M.S.)
• Qualified Mental Health Professional Trainee (QMHP-T)
• Resident in Counseling (Virginia)

Outside of the therapy room, I love spending time with my family and friends, trying new recipes, walking my dog Boone, and getting lost in a good book. I value warmth, connection, and kindness — and I bring those qualities into every session.

I believe people heal when they feel safe, understood, and welcomed as their full selves — and I’m honored to be part of that process.
