Hi, I’m a licensed psychotherapist specializing in individual, marriage, and family therapy. Since 2016, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals, couples, and families on their journeys toward healing. My path began as a behavior technician, giving me practical insight into emotional and behavioral challenges. As a therapist, I help people navigate trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, emotional dysregulation, and burnout. My approach blends psychodynamic therapy, psychoeducation, and body-mind (somatic) techniques so we can explore emotional patterns, increase self-awareness, and heal the effects of stress and trauma held in the body. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in cycles, or struggling to connect with yourself or others, I offer a collaborative, trauma-informed space for deep healing and growth. I support clients with a wide range of concerns, including: Grief and loss, mood instability, and psychotic spectrum disorders Major life transitions like career changes, divorce, relocation, and new parenthood LGBTQ+ support, spiritual exploration, and existential questions Relationship and family dynamics, including co-parenting, communication, and attachment wounds Chronic pain, body image, and somatic trauma symptoms Workplace stress, burnout, perfectionism, and executive functioning challenges

I look forward to three things: meeting you, supporting you on your mental health journey, and, when the time feels right, helping you feel ready to move forward beyond therapy. I won’t pretend therapy is always easy or that I have quick answers. What I can offer is a thoughtful, steady space where we can look honestly at what’s been weighing on you, notice patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and move at a pace that feels manageable rather than forced. Before becoming a social worker, I worked in behavioral health and rehabilitation services, supporting children and adolescents with challenges at home and school. That experience helped me understand what can be happening beneath a child’s behavior and shaped my compassionate, practical approach to supporting families. Overall, I bring more than 16 years of experience in behavioral sciences, including eight years as a social worker in the emergency department. In that role, I supported individuals and families during some of the most difficult and vulnerable moments of their lives. Through my work with law enforcement and medical personnel, I have strengthened my crisis intervention skills and deepened my ability to remain calm, present, and supportive when people need it most. At the heart of it all, I feel deeply honored to do this work. It’s a privilege I don’t take lightly, and a role I would choose over and over again.

I work with adults, teens, and families navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction and life transitions—whether rooted in the past or unfolding in real time. Some of us carry burdens that others can’t see: early wounds, chronic stress, or invisible grief that’s hard to name, let alone process. Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what’s happening, and build practical strategies for feeling better, day by day. My style is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care to name a few—but our work is always tailored to you. I have provided group, family and individual counseling in hospitals, residential, day treatment, intensive out patient and outpatient settings for behavioral health and addictions. I specialize in overcoming trauma, managing anxiety and working with and through challenges like addiction, depression and PTSD toward a life that works for you. Clients often tell me they feel both deeply accepted and gently challenged in our work. I’m here to help you reconnect with your own clarity, capacity, and self-compassion—especially if that’s been hard to access in the past. Whether you're feeling stuck or starting over, we can work together to create the change you want, at a pace that feels safe and real.

Frequently asked questions

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Virginia. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Virginia from Norfolk to Roanoke! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Virginia.

Yes! If you use Blue Cross Blue Shield you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have Blue Cross Blue Shield you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
