In today’s world, there is immense pressure to be perfect—the perfect parent, partner, friend, professional, and more. If you find yourself constantly striving to meet unrealistic expectations and feeling as though you’re falling short, you’re not alone. This ongoing pursuit can leave you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of how to find your way back to yourself.

My goal is to help you reconnect—with yourself, your values, and what truly matters to you. Together, we’ll work toward building a life rooted in authenticity, self-compassion, resilience, and a greater sense of connection. I believe therapy isn’t about changing who you are; it’s about creating space to better understand yourself, heal from what you’ve experienced, and move toward the life you want to live.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and humanistic principles. I believe there is value and intention behind the different parts of ourselves, even the ones that sometimes feel confusing, critical, or overwhelming. Rather than judging or trying to get rid of those parts, we’ll work together to understand them with curiosity and compassion. I also offer EMDR therapy to support clients working through trauma and difficult experiences that continue to impact the present.

I provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can show up as your full self. Whether you’re navigating anxiety or depression, working through trauma, struggling with ADHD, substance use, psychosis, or simply feeling stuck and disconnected from yourself, we’ll work together to understand what’s underneath the struggle and identify what can help you move forward.

I received my Bachelor of Social Work from James Madison University in 2009 and my Master of Social Work from Boston College in 2012. I have spent the last 10+ years practicing social work in a variety of settings, including medical social work, acute inpatient psychiatry, outpatient mental health, and residential substance abuse treatment. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, substance use, and psychosis.

I believe taking the first step toward healing can be one of the hardest—and most courageous—things you can do. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. You just have to be willing to start.

When you’re ready, I’m here to walk alongside you—with curiosity, compassion, and without judgment—as you find your way back to yourself.
