My journey into counseling:

After nearly a decade in the high-stress world of management consulting, I became well-acquainted with anxiety, burnout, and perfectionism. Despite finding success, I was constantly exhausted and struggling to find balance. Healing from that chapter required significant effort, but it was deeply rewarding to reconnect with myself. Inspired by my journey, I earned a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the College of William & Mary and founded Rivercrest Wellness to help others overcome similar challenges.

My professional experience as a therapist:

My counseling career began with crisis intervention at Crisis Text Line , supporting individuals facing self-harm and emotional distress. I later worked in an addiction recovery center, facilitating group therapy and providing individual support in an intensive outpatient program. That experience solidified my passion for counseling.

Transitioning to private practice allowed me to broaden my expertise, treating anxiety, depression, anger management, relationship issues and eating disorders from a diverse theoretical application. . Most recently, I joined a team specializing in peak performance, helping executives, athletes, and high-achievers unlock their full potential.

My mindset and clinical style:

I take a eclectic, person-centered counseling approach., blending techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, Gottman-based methods, and somatic processing. Mindfulness and humor are also central to my practice. My goal is to create a collaborative space where clients from all walks of life can thrive.
