A little about me:

Full disclosure, I’m a survivor of complex trauma with a history of addiction. And TBH I had some pretty sh*tty therapy experiences early on.

But I eventually found a couple of incredible therapists who helped me accept myself and believe in myself again, and that’s why I do what I do. I chose this field to be the kind of therapist I wish I’d had.

    • Worked in the field since 2016

    • LCSW in Virginia, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Vermont.

    • Certified in EMDR

    • Level 2 trained in IFS

I’m an introvert—calm, relaxed, and a little irreverent. I show up as my true self, whether inside or outside of therapy.

I create a safe, comfortable space where clients feel seen and understood. My goal is to hold space for you as you work to calm the storm inside.

Also, heads-up that my three rescue dogs might make cameos during your sessions: Rutabaga, Chance Jammer, and Osiris.

They’ve all been through their own healing journeys, and they’ve taught me a thing or two about resilience.
