What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

At some point in life, we all feel stuck and need to pivot. Often when we are looking for solutions to our problems the sage advice is to try something NEW. Why? Because our brains respond to novelty – it helps us adapt and manage stress. Therapy for many can be that reset. It takes bravery and grit to start a new therapeutic relationship. I'm so glad you are here today. Let me tell you a bit about me. I'm a licensed Clinical Psychologist in Virginia, military brat, and mother of three little ones. I provide virtual therapy (individuals & couples) and psychological assessment (primarily ADHD and Trauma evaluations) for the DC, MD, VA area (otherwise known as DMV). I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and trauma. I work with adults who are experiencing challenges with concentration, anxiety, eating/body image, depressed mood, flashbacks related to trauma, irritability or a combination of these factors. Many of my clients are amazingly kind, generous, and driven individuals who hold themselves to high standards. Often our work is focused on increasing flexibility, building trust, acceptance and self-compassion. We pivot, when needed, we laugh when it is appropriate. This process is not linear and unique to every person. I'd be honored to begin that process with you whenever you are ready to get started.

I work with men, women, adolescents, and couples who are navigating relationship challenges, trauma, emotional overwhelm, or a desire for deeper self‑understanding. Many come to therapy wanting support in building resilience, improving communication, or finding clarity in moments of transition. I offer a grounded, validating space where clients can explore their experiences and reconnect with their strengths. I specialize in trauma work, emotional regulation, and relationship dynamics. I use CBT, mindfulness‑based therapy, EMDR, and tools from the Gottman Method and EFT to support individuals and couples. My approach is flexible and collaborative, helping clients heal, grow, and strengthen their sense of purpose. I know how hard it can be to carry things on your own or feel unsure about your next step. In our work together, you’ll have a space where you’re seen, heard, and supported as you explore what’s been weighing on you.

I specialize in supporting young adults navigating anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. My clients often face the pressures of school, work, or early career challenges, and may feel overwhelmed by stress, uncertainty, or the expectations they place on themselves. Many are seeking guidance in understanding their emotions, building practical coping strategies, and creating a more balanced approach to everyday life. My approach is supportive, practical, and collaborative. Therapy with me is about helping you better understand yourself while developing tools that actually make a difference in daily life. Together, we focus on increasing emotional awareness, strengthening coping skills, and cultivating healthier ways of responding to stress and overwhelming emotions. Therapy isn’t about having everything figured out—it’s about building insight, skills, and confidence to navigate life in a healthier, more balanced way. I offer early morning and evening appointments to accommodate busy schedules, making therapy accessible for clients balancing school, work, and daily responsibilities. A free 20-minute consultation is available to explore how we can work together.
