About me

As a licensed therapist in Virginia and South Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating life's complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping clients work through challenges like anxiety, life transitions, social connections, and personal growth. I bring a compassionate, faith-informed approach to supporting women through various life stages and emotional experiences.

My therapeutic work centers on addressing issues such as stress management, communication difficulties, self-esteem, relationship dynamics, and personal identity. I understand the unique challenges of young adults, caregivers, and individuals experiencing significant life transitions. My approach is holistic, recognizing the interconnected nature of emotional, spiritual, and personal well-being.

I am committed to creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop meaningful coping strategies, and move towards healing and self-discovery. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, seeking personal growth, or working through complex emotional challenges, I'm here to support you on your journey.
