About
I provide a safe, compassionate, and affirming space for people of all backgrounds, grounded in empathy, lived experience, and a whole-person approach to healing.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 9 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation challenges, behavioral concerns, grief, and major life transitions. I work closely with both youth and their parents to strengthen communication, build coping skills, and create a more stable and supportive home environment.
I earned my master’s degree in social work from Simmons College. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution-focused therapy, and family systems work. I tailor treatment to each client’s unique needs, focusing on practical tools and emotional insight.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to start, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I provide a safe, inclusive space where you and your family can feel heard and supported. Together, we’ll build resilience, strengthen relationships, and help you move toward greater balance and confidence.

Teen counseling helps young individuals better understand and manage the challenges that affect their mental health. Common challenges amongst teens include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and problematic relationships with food.
Teen counseling works by using multiple techniques, tailored to fit the teen’s unique needs — based on their age group, their challenges, and the severity of their challenges. It might involve cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and others for varying ages. In any case, Thriveworks teen therapists in Charlottesville have the expertise and experience to help young individuals at their level.
Signs that teens might need Teen counseling can be very subjective, as they are experiencing many changes and can have intense reactions to them. As parents, you know your child best and are best equipped to judge whether certain reactions are standard behaviors for your teen or whether they might be hinting at a larger problem. Even so, there are a few common signs and events that often point to a need for therapy, such as experiencing divorce or loss, grief, consistent low moods, teens distancing themselves and becoming isolated, losing interest in hobbies, excessive anger or irritability, substance use issues, and suicidal ideation, among others.
Teen counseling providers at Thriveworks in Charlottesville, VA offer both in person and online therapy by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The length of teen counseling depends on your teen’s needs as well as the goals that you and their therapist might have for them. Generally, teen counseling sessions will last for several months.
