About My Clients
My clients are often people who have been carrying more than others can see. They may feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. Many are navigating trauma, microtrauma, relational wounds, life transitions, depression, stress, or challenges with identity, confidence, and self-trust. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are ready to understand their patterns better, heal from what has gone unnamed, and reconnect with who they truly are
My Background and Approach
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, EMDR-trained clinician, and doctoral candidate in traumatology with over 10 years of experience. My work is trauma-informed, collaborative, and grounded in creating a safe space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported. I specialize in helping clients understand trauma, microtrauma, anxiety, depression, chronic stress, emotional exhaustion, relational wounds, and life transitions. I believe healing begins when we can name what we have been carrying and understand how our experiences have shaped the way we see ourselves, relate to others, and move through the world. My approach may include EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, Internal Family Systems-informed work, and other evidence-based practices tailored to each client’s needs. Together, we work toward greater self-understanding, emotional wellness, healthier relationships, and a stronger connection to your authentic self.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe you are not broken. Many of the patterns we judge in ourselves began as ways to adapt, protect, or survive. Through the D.I.V.A.™ Framework, Developing Insight, Vision, and Authority, I help clients reconnect with who they truly are beneath the pain, pressure, and survival patterns they have carried. To me, healing begins with insight: understanding your story, your patterns, and the wounds that may have gone unnamed. From there, we create a vision for the life, relationships, and sense of self you want to build. Over time, this work supports authority: self-trust, confidence, and authenticity to move through the world more fully as yourself. I value safety, authenticity, compassion, cultural awareness, and the belief that every person deserves to feel seen and supported. Your story matters. I hope to help you move toward a life that feels more aligned, connected, and true to who you are.
