Work & Values

Therapy & Psychological Testing in Richmond, VA

I currently practice in Richmond, VA at Richmond Family Psychology, a co-op practice I share with two trusted colleagues I’ve known for nearly a decade. My work is grounded in a deep understanding of research-based strategies, clinical experience, and a genuine commitment to helping individuals and families feel supported, understood, and empowered.

I specialize in OCD treatment and anxiety therapy, but I also work with clients facing a wide range of related concerns, including:

Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRBs), like trichotillomania and skin-picking
Eating disorders
Tic disorders and Tourette’s
Body Dysmorphic Disorder
Stress and perfectionism

In addition to therapy, I provide psychological testing in Richmond, VA, including:

Autism assessments (ASD evaluations) for children, teens, and adults
ADHD testing
Learning disability evaluations
Comprehensive evaluations to help clarify diagnosis, strengths, and support needs

Whether you’re seeking help for yourself or your child, my evaluations are thorough, evidence-based, and designed to answer the questions that matter most to you.

Telehealth Across 38 States & DC

Although I am based in Richmond, Virginia, I am credentialed through PSYPACT, allowing me to provide therapy via secure telehealth in 38 states, including:

AL, AZ, AR, CO, CT, DE, DC, FL, GA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, ME, MD, MI, MN, MS, MO, NE, NV, NH, NJ, NC, OH, OK, PA, RI, TN, TX, UT, VT, VA, WA, WV, WI, and WY.

This makes it easy for college students, young adults, and families who move frequently to stay connected to care.

A Welcoming, Inclusive, Neurodiversity-Affirming Space

Creating a safe, affirming environment matters deeply to me. I work hard to ensure that every client feels respected, valued, and welcome to bring their full identity into the therapy space.

I am:

LGBTQ+ affirming
Neurodiversity affirming
Committed to culturally responsive and inclusive care

It is an honor to support individuals and families from diverse backgrounds, identities, and neurotypes.

Education & Training

I earned a Bachelor’s of Arts in psychology, with a minor in sociology from the University of Richmond. After working as a research coordinator in a psychiatric and behavioral genetics lab, I began my graduate training in clinical psychology at Virginia Commonwealth University. At VCU, I practiced across a variety of settings, including pediatric hematology/oncology and primary care. I also conducted research related to the therapeutic alliance and shared decision making in psychotherapy. I then completed my pre-doctoral internship at the West Virginia University School of Medicine, where I focused on early childhood neurodevelopmental assessment. I earned a PhD in clinical psychology, with a concentration in child and adolescent mental health from VCU in 2024.
