A Trusted Ally in Your Corner
I’ve spent my career building programs and spaces that prioritize the human experience, and I bring that same grounded, clinical expertise to our work together. Working with me feels like a deep conversation with a trusted ally that is clinical, trauma-informed, and genuine—but still grounded enough to bring a bit of humor when the moment calls for it, while remaining entirely dedicated to your healing. You don’t have to carry it all by yourself anymore; let’s work together to find your way back to a life that feels like yours again.
Rooted in Community, Driven by Intention
Earnest Psychotherapy Services was born from a desire to provide therapy that is as genuine and unapologetically itself as its namesake. Named in honor of my grandmother, this practice carries forward her legacy of being uniquely herself, profoundly real, and deeply connected to those around her. I don’t believe in "clinical fluff"—I believe in providing a warm, steady space where you can give yourself permission to exhale and let go of the exhausting need to appear 'okay' to keep things from falling apart.
The Evolution of Your Clinician
My journey has been defined by a commitment to expanding my mental health prowess so I can better serve the people I walk alongside. I began as a school-based crisis counselor in Suffolk, VA, and provided community mental health counseling across the region. To deepen my clinical know-how, I moved into integrated care, working with physicians and dentists in local clinics to provide comprehensive health services to those with the complex mental and physical health needs. This path eventually led me into leadership and ultimately serve as a Clinical Director, where I was able to lend my expertise to curating spaces—literally and figuratively—that prioritize healing, from designing sensory-friendly service buildings, expanding in-agency clinical offerings, revitalizing 24/7 crisis programs, to mentoring the next generation of therapists.
After years of clinical leadership and program development, I’ve intentionally returned to my true passion: working one-on-one with individuals to provide the deep, focused support they deserve.
