welcome

I am so glad you are here! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia, and I have been practicing in Charlottesville since 2010. I love being a part of this beautiful and complex community. Overall, I have over 20 years of experience counseling and mentoring adolescents, young adults, children, families, and other therapists in a variety of settings — including non-profit agencies, a university counseling center, community mental health centers, public schools, and therapeutic group homes.

My favorite part of being a counselor is building trusting individual relationships with clients and caregivers. I seek to bring cultural humility, respect, compassion, curiosity, and acceptance to all of my therapeutic interactions and relationships.

I am passionate about providing trauma-informed care. My deepest hope is that I can provide a space in which you feel supported enough to discover your strengths — so that you can do the courageous work of looking within, accepting what you find, and releasing what needs to be let go.

Outside of work, I love spending time exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains, riding bikes with my family, cooking, practicing yoga, taking care of my houseplants, and generally finding any excuse to be outside.
