I provide individual & couples therapy sessions for adults and adolescents. For couples, I offer sessions of varying length, depending on need and preference. I will partner with you to identify your goals and support and guide you in reaching them.
My psychotherapy style is diverse, client-centered, and transparent. You are a valued and equal partner.
I am licensed in Virginia to provide in-person services in Old Town Alexandria, additionally I am licensed in DC enabling me to provide virtual services to residents of either location.
The pandemic is supposed to be over....but the impact is still felt. Anxiety, depression, and trauma increased for all populations, especially adolescents, and we are all still figuring out the long-term impacts.
My professional experience and training, combined with my lived experience, make me able to support those in the community facing issues related to sexuality, transition, gender identity & expression, and much more. I provide an lgbtq friendly and supportive environment where you can be your authentic self.
These times in life are full of transition and shifting of identity. Finding support and steady footing is essential to ensure a health path forward through adulthood.
We are taught that our grief should last as a few weeks and then it's back to work or back to school, and I reject that. Grief lingers, changes, and lives on. If we do not learn to sit next to our grief and feel what we have lost, we lose the ability to move forward again.
We all face transitions that create unique stress that can push us into distress. Extra support and a safe space to unpack our feelings can be critical during these times.
My background and psychotherapy training includes working with folx in consensual non-monogamous relationships, polyamory and other nontraditional arrangements.
