Areas of Focus

Therapy for adults and young adults, in person in Vienna, VA and virtually across Virginia.

You may be carrying the effects of difficult childhood or relational experiences, or you may be someone who has learned to cope by staying busy, striving, achieving, and holding everything together. Perhaps you appear to be doing well on the outside, while internally you’re experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, self-doubt, or exhaustion. You may find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, struggling to set boundaries, or feeling like you always need to be “on.”

I work with adults and young adults who want to better understand how their past experiences and current patterns shape the way they relate to themselves, their relationships, and their lives. I especially enjoy working with people navigating anxiety, perfectionism, high achievement, and over-functioning, as well as those moving through important life transitions such as starting college, graduating, entering the workforce, or figuring out what comes next.

Therapy can be a space to slow down, make sense of what you’ve been carrying, and develop healthier ways of coping and relating. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, stronger boundaries, more fulfilling relationships, and a life that feels more sustainable and authentic.
