I am licensed in Virginia with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in assisting clients with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, & grief/loss. I believe the therapeutic relationship and fit is paramount to positive outcomes. I provide a safe environment and strive to make each person feel comfortable and relaxed, as well as heard. I utilize various techniques/modalities along with empathic feedback to ensure your needs are being met. Taking the step to begin therapy can be scary and overwhelming for many. I provide encouragement and honest feedback along with authenticity to make your journey the best it can be. I encourage questions and will check-in to ensure the fit of our relationship. I look forward to meeting with you.
