About me

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Virginia, dedicated to helping individuals cultivate meaningful, fulfilling lives. With over a decade of experience, I have devoted my career to guiding clients on their journey toward healing, growth, and self-discovery. My passion for supporting others began at a young age, shaping my approach to therapy as a safe, compassionate space where individuals feel truly seen, heard, and empowered.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In your first session, we’ll discuss what brought you to therapy in a comfortable and supportive space. I’ll explain confidentiality, and together, we’ll start creating a personalized plan that fits your needs and goals.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a therapist, I create a warm, empathetic, and supportive space where clients feel heard and valued. Through attentive listening, I help ease stress and provide guidance through life’s challenges. My approach is to walk alongside my clients, offering support and partnership as they work toward their goals and the balance they desire.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I support women and men navigating life's challenges, whether it's anxiety, depression, stress, parenting, self-esteem, relationships, or major life changes. I support young people in building confidence, improving behavior, and strengthening peer relationships.

Had my first session and I was super nervous but La-Retha was super welcoming and understanding. She made me feel comfortable about opening up and expressing myself. I felt so much lighter afterwards. Really looking forward to my next sessions with her.
