I may be a good fit for students who are struggling with relationships, identities, crises of faith, or other life transitions. I seek to create a welcoming, humorous, and safe place for all. My clinical priorities tend to lean toward depth psychologies with an interest in early childhood experience and relational dynamics.

Throughout most of our culture boys are not given much opportunity to explore their inner worlds, identify and express emotions or encouraged to build supportive and robust social networks. As these boys become men it leaves them lacking skills to know when and how to reach out for support. This is where I come in. I help guide young men through life's challenges by teaching skills that will help them in all facets of their life. Tired of feeling stuck, alone and not knowing how or what to change. Book your free consult through my website and let's see if working together is the best next step for you. No need to go it alone anymore.

Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Floyd, VA

Have you found yourself struggling with feeling overwhelmed way more than you would like to admit? Has your anxiety washed over you with no rhyme or reason, only to leave you feeling exhausted and confused? Transitioning back to "normal life" and having adult responsibilities is hard enough, but when you add anxiety to the mix--things tend to get interesting (and probably not in the way you would like). My perspective in therapy is that everyone has their own “coping skills toolbox” and it is my job to help you polish the rusty tools that you haven’t used in a while and make room for new and improved tools that are just for you. I will be your accountability partner by supporting and challenging you when needed. While sometimes our lives can feel out of control, many times all we need is a little boost from an outside person to help us move through overwhelming situations. I believe the most important part of therapy is the relationship between therapist and client, so please reach out for a free 15 minute consultation to see if we would be a good fit!

My primary goal is to empower individuals in achieving our fullest potential by providing an environment where they can feel heard and understood, and where they can work towards personal growth, self-awareness, and healing. I am passionate about working with people recovering from narcissistic abuse. ​I believe in the importance of treating the whole person in a holistic approach to healing. Whether talking about anxiety to depression to specific life stressors to complex trauma, I'm here to walk alongside individuals as they identify their paths forward in an enriching and centered life. Services are delivered via telehealth. I enjoy a strengths-based approach to therapy. I have found parts work to be quite helpful. I am EMDR trained. Overall, my approach is that I consult the client, not the theory or methodology. As a result, I'm eclectic in my approach and work to personalize counseling services. I can work with CBT methods as a supplement to other methods. If you are struggling with the aftermath of trauma, including complex trauma, and are seeking support, I am here to help.

Life can feel heavy when stress, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm make it hard to move forward. You may find yourself overthinking, feeling disconnected, or wanting change but unsure where to start. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck yet motivated to gain clarity and feel more grounded. I am a licensed psychologist and military Veteran who supports adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, relationship concerns, life transitions, and identity exploration through thoughtful, practical therapy. My approach integrates a multicultural perspective with cognitive behavioral strategies. I work collaboratively with clients to build insight, strengthen coping skills, and address patterns contributing to distress. Therapy is both reflective and practical, supporting symptom relief while fostering confidence, clarity, and personal agency. Clients often describe therapy with me as supportive, structured, and intentional. You can expect to feel heard and challenged in a compassionate way. Over time, many clients report increased self-awareness, improved emotional regulation, and greater confidence in navigating relationships and life decisions.
