As a resident in counseling, I specialize in helping individuals navigate through some of life’s most pressing challenges in a safe therapeutic setting. These key challenges might include life transitions, day-to-day stressors, anxiety, relationship concerns, and more. In my practice, I take an authentic, supportive, and optimistic approach. I'm passionate about working with adolescents and young adults, with a special place in my heart for athletes, as this is how my counseling journey began. I believe in the importance of active listening and validation in a clinical setting, helping us to build a strong therapeutic alliance. Working together, you can expect an authentic and affirming environment that focuses on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy to guide you along your healing journey. Taking a more unstructured approach in these therapies allows me to focus on deepening our relationship rather than simply checking off a list of questions to ask. More, I tailor my approach to each person's unique needs to ensure you identify and achieve your specific mental health goals. I look forward to the opportunity to create this lasting therapeutic relationship with you. My journey into therapy began with my own counseling experience back in college, when I sought out help to address sports performance anxiety I was experiencing. Finding the encounter eye-opening, I left my therapist’s office thinking, "This is what I want to do for my profession," and haven't looked back since! This first-hand accounting of just how empowering therapy can be deepened my commitment to prioritizing the therapeutic relationship first and foremost, bringing genuine and authentic energy to each session.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) helping adults ages 18 to 65+. With experience in residential (RTC) and therapeutic approaches, my specialties include guiding patients through struggles with severe substance abuse, process addictions, personality disorders, and severe mental health issues, as well as depression, anxiety, life transitions, suicidal ideations, and finding purpose in life. Through an open-minded, person-centered, and challenging approach tailored to your unique needs and goals, I empower you to live a value-oriented life, learn more about yourself, and face life challenges head on. In every session, I aim to challenge you in your thinking by being honest with yourself and seeing things from a different perspective. I believe in every person's potential for change and growth. That’s why I assure you of a safe, nonjudgmental and uplifting environment where you are both challenged and supported to aid in acceptance and realize lasting growth. Together, we achieve this through a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to obtain your goals, build insight, and possess tangible skills. A lifelong interest in psychology led me to the path to becoming a therapist. This passion became my calling in life, while my life experiences put me right where I belong working in this profession. Outside the office, I enjoy traveling, exploring the DMV with friends, and recreational sports leagues. In fact, in a not-too-distant part of my life, I was an MMA and Muay Thai fighter, having spent the past 4 years fighting competitively along with 3 years boxing in my undergraduate years.
As a licensed mental health professional with 5 years of experience, I am passionate about helping adolescents and adults navigate life stressors, overcome struggles with anxiety, strengthen coping skills, and reconnect with what matters most to them.

I believe in practical, goal-oriented, and evidence-based approaches to better support and empower you. In our time together, you can expect an empathetic and judgement-free environment tailored to your unique values. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you manage anxiety, build coping skills, and create meaningful change. I look forward to developing these skills and finding greater balance in our work together. My path to becoming a therapist began with a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges and heal from difficult experiences. This journey deepened my commitment to providing compassionate, patient-centered care that ensures empathy, encouragement, and warmth in every session. Outside of work, I love finding ways to stay active and creative to recharge. You’ll often find me reading, running and spending time outdoors, and exploring new artistic projects.

Well, if you are here, welcome! I am Stacey. I know it’s a journey to find the right therapist, and I’m glad you found your way to TheraHope. Most of my clients tell me, "You really get me" because I understand that being a student right now is heavy. We will work together to navigate the symptoms that weigh you down - like a racing mind or total shut down but also the daily drama with friends, parents and partners that drains your battery. If you are carrying past trauma, we will work together to navigate that negative self-talk and truly understand the "why" behind how you are feeling. We will create a game plan at your pace. My goal is to help you stop just "surviving" the semester and actually start feeling like yourself again. I really do care about my clients and I hope you decide to join this therapy road with me! Reach out today!

Hi, I'm Mary, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I help people work through mental health challenges using approaches like CBT, DBT, EMDR, motivational interviewing, and family systems therapy, and I have worked with a wide range of clients across many ages and backgrounds. Trauma and EMDR are a particular focus of mine. I became a therapist because I have always been drawn to people's stories. While I bring expertise in mental health, you are the expert on your own life, and my job is to use a person centered approach to help you organize your thoughts and move toward your goals. I promise to meet you without judgment and to be a present listener. I do not think therapy should feel cold or clinical, so I will put in the work to build a real connection, because connection is where healing happens. I see clients through WellQor, where I provide therapy entirely online, so we can meet from wherever feels comfortable for you. If you would like to begin working together, visit the WellQor website and fill out the Get Started form. A patient liaison will then text you with the next steps and help get you on my schedule. I look forward to meeting you.
You may be newly diagnosed with autism or ADHD, struggling with anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or OCD, navigating disability/chronic illness and the impacts of ableism, or looking for new ways to cope with life’s challenges. Therapy provides a supportive space to explore how your mind works, build self-understanding and acceptance, and work towards your personal goals. Together we can find ways to navigate uncertainty and live a life aligned with your values. I take a depathologizing, destigmatizing, and anti-oppressive approach to therapy. I am passionate about providing neuroaffirming and LGBTQIA+ affirming care, and in helping clients live more authentic and values-based lives. For clients seeking support with OCD, I’m experienced in Inference-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT). I aim to create a supportive and collaborative space where you feel seen and affirmed, and where you can show up as your authentic self. We can work together to figure out which therapy approaches best suit you and your needs, and tailor therapy to your goals.

As a therapist, I my role in working with clients is to support them in gaining the confidence to find their voice and to move from this space with purpose and compassion. I am a space holder, compassionate witness, boundary-lover and hopeful human. I love emerging adults and believe they are insightful change-makers who are creative, intuitive, and independent. However, they can also feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, anxious, and alone when trying to understand themselves and how they fit into this world. The adolescent mental health crisis is real and we must act quickly and with care. As an teen therapist, I my role in working with teens is to support them in gaining the confidence to find their voice and to move from this space with purpose and compassion. I am a space holder, compassionate witness, boundary-lover and hopeful human. I love teenagers and believe they are insightful change-makers who are creative, intuitive, and independent. However, they can also feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, anxious, and alone when trying to understand themselves and how they fit into this world. I strive to create a space where you can feel comfortable taking your shoes and your (metaphorical) mask off. My job isn’t to make you talk about all the hard stuff; it’s to provide a space for you to learn about yourself - so the good parts can shine through and the parts that are telling you that you’re not good enough can give you a little more space. Being a human is HARD and being a college student can feel even harder. I view my role as a therapist as an immense privilege and am inspired every day by the people who I have the opportunity to get to work with. I encourage you to visit my website to learn more about me, my approach and to schedule a FREE consultation call.
You didn’t know what it would be like, but you didn’t think it would be like this. Unsure of how life will unfold and wondering if you will be able to find some semblance of stability (or if you will sputter, perpetually stuck and unable to realize the life you envisioned growing up), you look around to external guideposts. Trying to understand how to thrive in this world while simply just existing while also not failing, you look to these external markers to validate where you are and still feel empty and directionless. It’s not easy being human. Yes, we have all the trappings to make human-ing easier, and yet challenges persist. Perhaps it shows up in mindlessly scrolling, searching for others to connect with or more items to buy to fill the emptiness that continues to nag, always thirsty. Maybe in numbing through substances or distractions, deliberately focused on not focusing on the world in front of you. It can feel insurmountable, the question of how to move forward and even where to begin. Our work will disentangle what it is you want, who you want to be, and what it is you value. We will explore, investigate and identify the thoughts, emotions and themes that run through your story, seeking to shed light on where the stuck points exist and work to remove the blockages. I will support you and lead with curiosity, compassion and authenticity as you bring awareness to what composes your personal legend.
