Hello! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Virginia, with a Master's degree from the University of Oregon. For the past eight years, I have committed myself to the practice of individual and couples therapy, helping individuals and partners navigate the complexities of their emotional and relational lives. My journey as a therapist has been profoundly fulfilling, as it allows me to walk alongside clients and as they face unique challenges and work toward building stronger, more resilient, and deeply satisfying connections with themselves and others. I approach each therapeutic relationship with empathy, respect, and a genuine commitment to helping my clients achieve their goals. In my practice, I am committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where clients feel truly heard, understood, and empowered to explore their emotions and experiences. I am particularly passionate about helping clients embrace their authentic selves and deepen their understanding of who they are. By fostering this self-awareness and self-acceptance, clients can flourish not only in their relationships with others but also in the most important relationship of all—the one with themselves. I feel incredibly fortunate to engage in a profession that not only aligns with my values but also allows me to be my authentic self. I am deeply committed to my clients' well-being and to helping them cultivate the healthy, loving relationships they deserve. Whether working with individuals or couples, my goal is always to provide the guidance and support needed to foster positive change and personal growth.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our sessions, I will take the time to truly understand your story, beliefs, and experiences—what makes you uniquely you. Together, we will explore the many facets of your identity with curiosity, not judgment, laying a strong foundation of self-awareness. From there, the possibilities for growth and evolution are boundless. I'll also equip you with practical tools to manage anxiety, cultivate self-compassion, and encourage you to reflect on your behaviors and reactions outside of our time together. For couples therapy, in addition to the above, we'll dive into your shared story. We'll explore how you met, what drew you to one another, and identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Over the past eight years, I have had the privilege of working with individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds and cultures worldwide. This experience has deepened my understanding that every person and every relationship is unique, with distinct needs and dynamics. My strength lies in helping individuals and couples discover and develop their unique blueprint for success—whether in their personal growth or in their relationships. For couples, I focus on uncovering the specific qualities that make their relationship thrive, guiding them to build a partnership that reflects their shared values and goals. For individuals, I assist in identifying and nurturing the personal strengths and insights that lead to a more authentic and fulfilling life. My approach is tailored to each client’s journey, empowering them to create the life and relationships they truly desire.
