Who I Work With

I offer compassionate, trauma-informed therapy for children, teens, adults, and families navigating anxiety, OCD, ADHD, Autism, trauma, and relationship challenges. I create a supportive, collaborative space where you can feel safe, understood, and empowered in your healing.

  • Living room with a gray armchair, a multicolored braided rug, a white dining table with four chairs, a bookshelf filled with books and games, and a large window with red curtains.

    Children

    When working with young children, I use Child-Centered Play Therapy (CCPT), a gentle and developmentally appropriate approach that allows children to express themselves, build emotional awareness, and work through challenges using the natural language of play. I also help children reduce symptoms of OCD and anxiety by using a combination of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

  • Therapy session room with large window overlooking a river, furnished with two green armchairs with velvet pillows, a round wooden table, and a side table with a white lamp. There are two colorful abstract paintings on a blue wall.

    Teens & Individual Adults

    My work with teens and adults is personalized and collaborative, tailored to your unique needs, goals, and lived experience. I draw from evidence-based approaches—including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Motivational Interviewing—to create a plan that truly fits you. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, life transitions, or relationship challenges, we’ll work together to build insight, emotional regulation, and practical skills to help you feel better and create meaningful, lasting change.

  • Therapy session room with a white sectional sofa, pink patterned armchair and accent pillows, a round metallic coffee table with decorative items, a small side table, a lamp, and wall art on a blue wall.

    Couples & Families

    I help couples and families strengthen communication, deepen connection, and navigate conflict with greater clarity and compassion. Using Family Systems Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method principles, and my training as a Prepare/Enrich certified facilitator, I support partners and families in building secure, respectful, and resilient relationships that can weather life’s challenges.

I offer therapy in person in Sterling, VA and virtually anywhere in Virginia. If you’re ready to feel better and want a therapist who truly listens and supports your growth, I invite you to reach out and schedule a consultation. You don’t have to do this alone.
