Welcome!

I offer virtual psychotherapy, groups, and workshops specially designed for adults in Virginia.  My services are provided during evenings and weekends.

At times in life we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about our next steps. I offer a compassionate and collaborative approach to help adults uncover their strengths, understand the deeper patterns in their lives, and build meaningful strategies for change. Together, we will create a space where you can share your story without judgment and explore new ways to grow and thrive. Your time and energy are valuable, and choosing to invest in yourself through therapy is a courageous and transformative step. Reach out today for a free consultation.

I am a Certified Veterinary Social Worker and School Social Worker, drawing from a background of 20 years serving a diverse clientele and performing mental health research within college counseling, veterinary medicine, industry-sponsored trials, and multi-model models for treatment for depression. I bring you evidence-based practices to support your journey.  Kudos to you for your courage to take this time for yourself.

I tailor therapeutic interventions to your needs drawing from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing for addiction, Positive Psychology, Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy, Worden's Grief Model. I also incorporate mindfulness principles and movement-based techniques, informed by my background as a yoga teacher. Most importantly, my aim is harnessing your strengths as I'm here to support your goals. 

My practice covers a range of mental health concerns, whether situational or ongoing, including anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, grief, family distress, life transitions, alcohol and substance abuse, and academic challenges. I also specialize in assisting college students, veterinary medical students and professionals, and animal owners. 

My background.

In my psychotherapy practice, I support a diverse adult clientele through life transitions, relationship challenges, personal growth, and a broad spectrum of mental health concerns. While I work as a generalist, my recent focus includes:

• Adults navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, grief, trauma, family distress, and major life changes

• Students at all levels—undergraduate, graduate, and professional

• Veterinary professionals and allied animal workers facing compassion fatigue, burnout, and trauma

• Animal owners coping with grief, loss, and caregiving stress

I have chosen to work through an established therapy platform to provide supportive mental health tools, ease of verifying insurance, and access to a referral base for those deciding to seek medication management.
