If you're unhappy, stressed, or struggling with toxic people in your life, I can help you. I provide a nonjudgmental and supportive environment, combined with evidence-based skills and constructive feedback. I want to help you rekindle your passions and build on your strengths to get where you want to be in life. I am a licensed therapist for online therapy in Virginia and in-person therapy at my local office in Chesterfield, Virginia.
I provide counseling to teens, young adults and adults who are looking for real skills and practical applications. In college, I majored in psychology at George Mason University, and spent my senior year volunteering at the university's Human Emotions Research Lab, which at the time was conducting a 10-year study on ways to help former inmates transition into the community.
I split my time between interviewing inmates in the Fairfax County jail and conducting reliability testing on a self-control scale, which was published for the 2007 American Criminology Conference in Atlanta, Ga.

Here you will find some common questions about counseling or psychotherapy.

Traditionally, counseling is more of an advice-oriented practice while psychotherapy is an in-depth process of emotional healing and growth.
