With 18 years of experience as a licensed psychotherapist, what brings me joy is helping adults and couples heal from childhood wounds that are negatively impacting their current relationships and every day life. 

Deeply relational and energetic, yet results-inspired, I will meet you right where you are and help you stretch just outside your comfort zone towards growth. I utilize evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Method for Couples Therapy.

I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help my clients become more aware of their vulnerable and protective parts. And let's face it, this work can be hard! So, I also incorporate mindfulness, creativity, and humor into my practice. 

Knick-named "The Carrot Top of Counseling,” I use props and visual aids when offering psychoeducation because as a tactile learner, it makes things easier to grasp. Best of all, I'm human too, and just may laugh or shed a tear right along with you.  

My goal is to create a sense of safety within the therapeutic relationship where you feel heard and understood without judgment. I encourage you to come as you are. All imperfect parts are welcome! 

I offer in-person appointments in Loudoun County and telehealth sessions to individuals residing in the state of Virginia. I value diversity, equity, and inclusion. I am LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and alternative lifestyles affirming and welcoming. If you think we'd be a good fit, I'd be honored to join you in your journey toward healing.
