I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Virginia who provides quality mental health care to adults, virtually. I provide a safe space for healing and resolving problems so you can feel at peace within yourself, with others, and with your life.

I grew up in Northern Virginia and began my academic journey at James Madison University, where I majored in Psychology and minored in Business. After graduation, I spent more than a decade working in the IT field as a data analyst. While the work was stable, I realized I wanted something more—something that aligned with my strengths and values and allowed me to make a real difference in people’s lives. That calling led me to pursue a career in counseling.

In 2013, I earned my master’s degree in Forensic Psychology – Professional Counselor Licensure Track from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology in Washington, DC. My training included a practicum and internship as a School Psychologist in the Special Education department of an elementary school in Southeast DC, followed by work as a case manager and counselor in community mental health during my residency.

After becoming licensed as a Professional Counselor in Virginia, I began working in outpatient private practice. Since then, I have practiced in both solo and group settings, and I have also provided clinical supervision to pre-licensed counselors.

Ongoing learning is a cornerstone of my professional growth, and I have completed extensive clinical training in a variety of areas, including:

• The Gottman Method, Level 1 (couples therapy)

• Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Basic (trauma processing)

• Suicide Prevention: Collaborative Assessment & Management of Suicidality (CAMS) and The Clinician’s Suicide Prevention Summit

• Neurodiverse Relationships: Individual Therapy for the Neurotypical Partner (When Your Partner is on the Autism Spectrum)

• Internal Family Systems (IFS): Online Circle introductory program

These experiences have deepened my ability to support clients through a wide range of challenges, from relationship concerns and life stressors to trauma, anxiety, and depression.
