In a session with me, you can expect a safe, non-judgmental space for exploring your thoughts and feelings, so you feel heard and supported. The first few sessions will focus on building a trusting, collaborative relationship. I want to understand your unique story and concerns so we can work together to address your needs. After establishing our therapeutic relationship, we'll focus on setting clear goals and explore the reasons that have brought you to counseling. We will work together to understand your thoughts and behaviors, pinpoint areas for change and growth, and build the skills you need to achieve your goals. My approach to therapy is collaborative and client-centered, integrating various evidence-based practices to tailor to your personal needs. As you gain new insights, your focus may shift, and that's not only normal, but welcome! I will work with you to adapt our sessions to ensure our time is always meaningful and relevant to your needs. This is a journey of growth, where we will face challenges together, celebrate your accomplishments, and learn to find humor in the process!​

I was born and raised right outside of Richmond and have a master’s degree in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from Virginia Commonwealth University. My career as a mental health counselor has been defined by a commitment to providing holistic, evidence-based care. Through extensive training and practice, I have gained a specialization in treating substance use and co-occurring disorders, which has deepened my ability to support a wide array of mental health needs. Outside of sessions, you can find me spending time with my family and pets, getting outdoors, diving into a Netflix show, and enjoying a cup of coffee!

No matter where you are on your journey, I look forward to working with you and supporting you toward your goals!
