I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Virginia, dedicated to helping individuals cultivate meaningful, fulfilling lives. With 13 years of experience, I have devoted my career to guiding clients on their journey toward healing, growth, and self-discovery. My passion for supporting others began at a young age, shaping my approach to therapy as a safe, compassionate space where individuals feel truly seen, heard, and empowered.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In your first session, we’ll discuss what brought you to therapy in a comfortable and supportive space. I’ll explain confidentiality, and together, we’ll start creating a personalized plan that fits your needs and goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a therapist, I create a warm, empathetic, and supportive space where clients feel heard and valued. Through attentive listening, I help ease stress and provide guidance through life’s challenges. My approach is to walk alongside my clients, offering support and partnership as they work toward their goals and the balance they desire.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I support women and men navigating life's challenges, whether it's anxiety, depression, stress, parenting, self-esteem, relationships, or major life changes. I support young people in building confidence, improving behavior, and strengthening peer relationships.
