At Spark Counseling, counseling is a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin making sense of the challenges, stressors, and transitions life brings. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or simply trying to better understand yourself, counseling can help you build insight, healing, and forward momentum.

I work collaboratively with clients to create a counseling experience that feels supportive, practical, and individualized. Together, we identify goals, explore patterns, strengthen coping strategies, and work toward meaningful and sustainable change. I believe growth happens within authentic connection, self-awareness, and learning how to respond to life with greater intention and compassion.

My counseling approach integrates evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based approaches, trauma-informed care, and an eclectic blend of techniques tailored to each client’s unique needs and experiences. Sessions may focus on emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, burnout, relationship concerns, identity development, life transitions, grief, stress management, and building healthier relationships with yourself and others.

I have worked with individuals across a variety of settings including higher education, crisis intervention, emergency psychiatric services, community mental health, and private practice. These experiences have deepened my commitment to creating an inclusive, affirming, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to show up fully as themselves.

Spark Counseling welcomes both insurance and private-pay clients, with secure telehealth counseling sessions available throughout Virginia, offering accessible and convenient support from the comfort of your own space.

Seeking support is a meaningful investment in yourself. Healing and growth are possible, and you do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. When you are ready, Spark Counseling is here to support you in taking the next step forward.
