A Little More About Me

I am deeply passionate about supporting individuals, couples, polycules, and families through every stage of their relational and parenting journeys.

My professional path led me from the tech world into dedicated parent advocacy, which ultimately inspired me to become a therapist. Because I am in my clinical residency, I practice under the expert supervision of licensed clinicians while bringing fresh, specialized training to my caseload. My background includes developing support tools for new families and training as a postpartum doula, allowing me to blend lived advocacy experience with evidence-based mental health care.

Whether you are navigating the profound identity shifts of becoming a parent or trying to heal a fracturing relationship, you do not have to carry it alone. I provide specialized care for:

• Postpartum Depression & Postpartum Anxiety Support: Helping parents process pregnancy, birth trauma, infertility, adoption, and the overwhelming adjustments of life after baby.

• Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT): Helping partners break out of destructive communication loops, rebuild intimacy, and establish their relationship as a secure safety net.

• Trauma-Informed & Systemic Care: Integrating attachment-based parts work, narrative therapy, and experiential perspectives to look at both your unique story and the external systems impacting you.

I aim to create a warm, judgment-free space where you can share your story, process deep-seated feelings, and discover your innate strengths* while acknowledging real societal challenges. I offer sessions both in-person in Charlottesville and online via telehealth across Virginia through both: Full Life Counseling and Morgan Counseling.

As a Resident in Counseling (License # 0704019351) and a Resident in Marriage & Family Therapy (License # 0730000838) in the Commonwealth of Virginia, I practice under the clinical supervision of Jordan Leahy, LPC, Kristin Morgan, LPC, PMH-C, and Christine Bowers, LMFT.
