We can all find ourselves overwhelmed by the expectations put on us by others and ourselves. Often our past experiences may have us repeating patterns and cycles in our relationships that don’t serve us and it can be easy to try to ignore our problems or stuff our feelings only to find they're coming out sideways. To cope, we may engage in behaviors that prevent us from being the best version of ourselves. Often difficult life transitions put us in a state of upheaval, leaving us feeling hopeless, anxious, or depressed. I'd like to help you navigate these challenges.
I can meet you where you are - without judgment - validate your experiences, and offer insight and perspective – with respect, empathy, and compassion. I'd like to help you find meaning and purpose, activate your resources, and introduce new tools to better address what you're facing.
I work from a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach with clients experiencing grief and loss, relationship issues, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I have a long history of advocacy and allyship with the LGBTQI+ community. I see clients virtually and in-person at my office in Reston and I provide Equine Facilitated Psychotherapy in Great Falls, VA.

Grief and the Way of the Horse
The holidays can be a difficult time for those who are spending the season without their loved one. Whether the loss is recent or in years prior, the stress of the holiday season can present unforeseen challenges. As prey animals, horses are uniquely attuned to not only their surrounding but the minute energetic vibrations we emit, non-verbal cues, body language, and the unspoken feelings that may be keeping us from fully processing our grief. Horses meets us where we are, unconditionally, providing a space to explore our grief and mourn without fear of judgement.
