Client-Centered, Identity-Affirming & Trauma Informed
Individual therapy for adults stepping away from expectations and into authenticity.
YOU’VE OUTGROWN THE ROLES YOU WERE TAUGHT TO PLAY.
Maybe it was the fixer, the high achiever, the peacekeeper — or the one who made themselves small so others could feel big.
These roles may have helped you survive, but they’re not who you are anymore.
Now, you’re craving something deeper: authenticity, self-trust, and a life that feels like your own.
YOU’RE NOT TOO MUCH. THE BOX IS JUST TOO SMALL.
If you’ve ever been made to feel like you’re too sensitive, too intense, or too complicated — like you take up more space than others are comfortable with...
...know this: the issue isn’t who you are, but how others respond to complexity, depth, and emotion.
IT’S NOT EASY LEANING INTO THE QUIET REBELLION OF BEING YOURSELF.
But you’ve already taken steps, even when it’s felt like walking uphill.
Maybe not loudly or all at once, but in small, meaningful ways: questioning old expectations, setting new boundaries, or simply allowing yourself to want more.
Perhaps that’s what brings you here:
the desire to make more space for who you are, not just who you were told to be.
If you’re someone who notices everything — the unspoken tension, the shifting energy in the room, the emotions no one names — it can be hard to find space for your own inner world.
Maybe you learned to blend in, to smooth things over, to stay agreeable so others felt comfortable.
But that kind of self-abandonment comes at a cost. It can show up as anxiety, resentment, burnout, or a quiet ache you can’t quite name.
I’m glad you’re here.
THIS IS A SPACE WHERE YOU DON’T HAVE TO TONE YOURSELF DOWN — WHERE YOUR FULL HUMANITY IS WELCOME.
Not just the polished or palatable parts, but also the messy, contradictory, and still-in-progress parts of you.
Therapy can offer a place to exhale; where you don’t have to be “on.” You can show up messy, quiet, angry, grieving, or unsure, and still be met with compassion.
In counseling, we’ll work together to support you in unlearning who you were told to be and reclaiming who you’ve always been.
A radical act of coming home to yourself.
WHO I WORK WITH
I work with adults who feel things deeply and often carry an unspoken responsibility for the emotions around them. Many have spent years navigating a world that asked them to be smaller, quieter, more agreeable, or less true to themselves.
They may identify as queer, neurodivergent, or be part of non-traditional relationships — but above all, they’re people trying to find their way back to themselves.
Often natural caregivers, they’re moving through big life shifts, untangling old roles, and beginning to imagine what it means to live more fully in their truth — while simultaneously healing from burnout, relational wounds, or questions of identity and belonging.
YOU MIGHT COME TO THERAPY FEELING:
Emotionally drained, overwhelmed, or always on edge
Burned out from always being “the strong one”
Disconnected from your sense of self
Stuck in relationships that leave you feeling unseen or responsible for too much
In a major life shift — a breakup, a move, a role change, or a “what now?” season
Struggling to name your needs after years of prioritizing everyone else’s
How Therapy Can Support You
-
You may be carrying pain that was never acknowledged — by others or even yourself. We’ll gently process what’s been heavy for too long, creating space for relief, integration, and healing.
-
Together, we’ll nurture a kinder inner voice — one that honors your needs, your boundaries, and your humanity. You’ll learn to show up for yourself with the same care and understanding you offer to others.
-
You may have learned to mold yourself around others’ needs, slowly losing sight of your own. In therapy, we create space to peel back those layers, explore who you are beneath the expectations, and reconnect with your sense of purpose and belonging — all without judgment or the need to explain yourself.
-
Together, we’ll work on building boundaries that protect your time, energy, and values — not ones rooted in guilt or obligation. We’ll explore what it means to set boundaries that feel kind, clear, and rooted in self-respect.
-
Life doesn’t pause for healing. We’ll create a supportive space where you can process what’s happening in real time — cultivating stability, perspective, and resilience as you move through change.
-
This is a space to rediscover who you are beneath others’ expectations. Whether you're exploring questions of identity, purpose, or belonging, we’ll support you in building a life rooted in your values and shaped by your truth.
Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about honoring the parts of you that have long been overlooked — even by yourself.
In our sessions, we’ll slow down and listen inward. Together, we’ll explore the patterns, expectations, and internalized “shoulds” that no longer serve you — and find a new way forward that feels right for you.

Frequently-Asked Questions
-
I support adults navigating burnout, anxiety, identity exploration, people-pleasing patterns, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are looking for a space where they don’t have to explain or defend who they are — where they can feel seen, supported, and more deeply connected to themselves.
-
Absolutely. Therapy isn’t just for when everything falls apart — it can also be a place for growth, reflection, and healing long-standing patterns. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from a space that’s fully centered on you.
-
My therapy style is collaborative and client-centered. I combine a relational, strength-based approach with reflective questions to help you reconnect with yourself. Sessions move at your pace and focus on what feels meaningful and safe to explore.
-
Yes — I provide online individual counseling to clients living anywhere in Virginia, Ohio, or Kentucky. Sessions are held securely over video using a HIPAA-compliant platform, so you can access therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
-
Yes — research consistently shows that virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions for many concerns. Online therapy offers added accessibility and comfort, especially for clients who are neurodivergent, chronically busy, or prefer the privacy of their own space.
-
The free consultation is a 20-minute phone call where we get to know each other a bit. You can share what’s bringing you to therapy, ask any questions you have, and see if this feels like the right fit. There’s no pressure — just an open conversation to discuss your needs.
-
Sessions are typically 50 minutes and typically held weekly or bi-weekly, though this can vary based on your needs and schedule. We’ll work together to find a rhythm that feels supportive and sustainable for you.
-
My rate is $190 per 50-minute session. I do not accept insurance, but I do accept HSA cards for payment.
Here’s to the courage of being seen — and to the strength of claiming space where it’s seldom freely given.
