Hello! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in the heart of Virginia. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University in 2020 and have been practicing as a counselor for the past six years. My approach to therapy is grounded in validation, compassion, and hope. I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and that even when things feel overwhelming or uncertain, you have the ability to create meaningful change. My role is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward the person you want to be. I work primarily with adolescents and young adults navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, self-esteem, parenting, and the many changes that come with different stages of life. I especially value working with individuals and families who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of where to begin. Therapy doesn’t have to be about “fixing” who you are. Sometimes, it’s about understanding yourself more deeply, recognizing your strengths, and finding the tools and confidence to move forward. Wherever you are in your journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
Our initial session is about getting to know you—your story, goals, and what has brought you to this point. We’ll discuss what you hope to achieve in therapy and explore any concerns or questions you may have. As you prepare for your first session, I want to share what to expect when we meet. The first session with me is called an intake, and I will ask you many purposeful questions. If you are not fully paying for sessions out of pocket and plan to use your insurance, it would be a good idea to call your insurance company before your scheduled intake session to confirm coverage and determine your co-pay amount, if any. To best ensure a hassle-free beginning to your therapeutic journey, review that your credit card on file is up to date and that any additional paperwork required to begin therapy in your client portal is fully completed in every area, signed, dated, etc. This will ensure that your first session is smooth, worry-free, and genuinely focused on the most crucial aspect of your session: you!
I pride myself on being a regular person and relate to my clients authentically. I am dedicated to ethical practice and respect the individual wants and needs of my clients. Building a positive therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect to successful therapy and, if I am not the right fit for a client, I want to work with them to find the best therapist to help meet their goals. Ultimately, our time together is not about me; it's about YOU!
I love working with motivated individuals who desire change in their lives. My clients seek improvement by implementing techniques and coping skills in everyday life. They desire accountability when challenges occur to improve their quality of life. I have experience working with children, teenagers and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, parenting, maternal mental health, phase-of-life issues and more!
