Accepting NEW clients! I am expert in relationships, with self & others. In our sessions, you will experience curiosity, empathy, warmth & a touch of humor from me. I use frameworks proven through research to be effective in growth and healing. I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist (EFT). I am dedicated to creating deeper emotional bonds & lasting change in relationships. I also use self-compassion techniques & Internal Family Systems as my foundational framework.
For individuals, I specialize in self-worth, people pleasing, perfectionism, relationship issues, healing from old emotional wounds & attachment difficulties, developmental trauma, finding purpose & your authentic self. For couples, I can support you with long-term disconnection, repetitive fights, broken trust and sexual therapy.
I am an LGBTQ+ ally, non-monogamy-affirming, anti-racist and culturally humble therapist licensed to provide therapy in-person at my Northern Virginia office. I also offer tele-health session to any person in Virginia and North Carolina. As you consider beginning the courageous step of initiating therapy, I encourage you to reach out.
