I especially enjoy working with tweens, teens, and young adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, neurodiversity, and LGBTQIA+ identity-related challenges. I’m drawn to helping clients during these formative years because so much growth and self-discovery happen during this time. My approach is strength-focused, meeting clients where they are and helping them recognize their resilience and inner capabilities. I often incorporate elements of DBT to support emotional regulation, mindfulness, and distress tolerance, as well as creative tools like music, art, film, or storytelling to help clients express themselves authentically. My goal is for each session to feel safe, validating, and empowering—where clients leave with something tangible to support their growth and healing.

Outside of counseling, I’m usually working on a home renovation project—even if I’m learning as I go! I love the process of problem-solving and creating something new. I’m a big fan of fall weather and everything cozy—sweatshirts, crisp air, camping trips, and “cozy video games” before bed are some of my favorite ways to unwind.

Waitlist for New Clients

Please note: I offer virtual sessions for Virginia residents Mondays–Thursdays, and I see clients ages 16 and up.

I love working with college students, young adult women, and teen girls (BIPOC and LGBTQ+ affirming). The clients I support often feel overwhelmed by anxiety, struggle with self-criticism, or find themselves stuck in people-pleasing and relationship patterns that are hard to break. This can look like going through a difficult breakup or family stress, adjusting to a big life transition, or trying to figure out who you are outside of others’ expectations.

I believe therapy works best when you feel safe enough to show up fully as yourself, which is why trust and genuine connection are at the center of my work. You’ll be met with cultural humility, empowerment, and affirmation so you have room to be real and talk openly about your experiences. We identify what matters to you, notice the patterns getting in the way, and practice small shifts over time.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct. I’m trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for Individuals and integrate ACT, CBT, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Mindful Self-Compassion.

My areas of focus include:

• Anxiety, stress, and overthinking • Relationship challenges and attachment wounds • Boundaries and people-pleasing • Young adulthood and college concerns • Self-esteem, self-image, and shame • Perfectionism and burnout • Life transitions (breakups, post-grad adjustment, career) • Identity development

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from William & Mary, and I practice under the clinical supervision of Jennifer Walker, LPC.

CURRENT AVAILABILITY: Thurs/Fri evenings (in-person, virtual)

I am passionate about helping teens and young adults make sense of life and who they’re becoming. I believe the therapeutic relationship is at the heart of counseling, so I like to take time to understand you beyond what you’re struggling with. My goal is to build a connection where you can be yourself, even when life feels messy or uncertain. Whether you’re carrying past trauma, navigating relationships, going through a life transition, or still discovering who you are, this is a space where you don’t have to filter yourself or have it all figured out. I’ll meet you where you are, and we’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable as we make sense of patterns, explore what’s underneath them, and find ways to move forward that reflect who you are and how you want to live life.
