My starting point in therapy is that no topic is off-limits. I believe that all problems and issues can be addressed and improved, and that therapy can effectively enhance decision-making and facilitate life transitions. I am a partner in the therapeutic process, serving as a listener, coach, and accountability partner. My role is to create a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and learn to love your story.

My clinical practice is firmly rooted in evidence-based practices, but I also value thinking outside the box. I have a passion for working with individuals living with cancer and those exploring end-of-life issues. Additionally, I specialize in helping individuals and couples navigate relationship discord and heal after infidelity. I believe in a holistic approach and value understanding and treating the whole person —mind, body, and spirit.

My therapeutic approach is person-centered and based on reality theory. I believe that all behavior has meaning. In treatment, I often focus on enhancing communication, exploring strengths and resources, and eliminating thoughts, feelings, or behaviors (using cognitive-behavioral therapy) that prevent clients from achieving their desired outcomes. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families, including those who identify as Queer, LGBT, or gender-exploring.

I hold a Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from the Florida Institute of Technology and am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Virginia. I also have an M.S. in Psychology from the Florida Institute of Technology and an M.A. in Mental Health Counseling from Rollins College. I was recognized as a Top Doc by Richmond Magazine in 2017 and 2018, and I am the founder of Tikvah Collaborative Practices.
