About me

Please read my profile carefully before scheduling an appointment. **I AM ACCPETING NEW EMDR CLIENTS ONLY. ****I do not offer talk therapy***** **IMPORTANT:::: PLEASE SCHEDULE IN ANY SLOT. THIS WILL NOT BE YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT. WE WILL SET THAT AFTER YOU COMPLETE THE PAPERWORK.** Greetings! I'm so glad that this website has led you to this profile so I can say CONGRATS on taking the first step towards mental health counseling. I am a LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in the Commonwealth of Virginia trained in EMDR. I have been in this field for 10 years. I have provided therapy in a variety of settings that include community health centers, juvenile detentions, county jail, and private practice, and currently work as a full-time crisis clinician for a community service board. Through these settings, I have had the opportunity to treat many conditions like ADHD, ODD, many personality disorders, PTSD, Major Depression Disorder, Anxiety, Bipolar and addiction. I believe that everyone has a story and believe that everyone has the right to tell that story, their worries, desires, and goals in a supportive, unbiased environment. I am always honored when a client chooses me to be the therapist to guide and support them through their mental health journey. The best part about mental health concerns/addiction is that recovery exists. You are the driver to that recovery and you are at the beginning of that road. I can help you identify barriers and help you explore coping skills and other resources to be successful in mental health recovery or your goals.

as a fellow therapist, i had a lot of things i was looking for when it came to picking my own therapist. layne checked all of those boxes, and our sessions continue to reinforce that i made the right choice. she is warm, inviting and humorous but also knows when/how to challenge my thinking in a direct but empowering way. staying focused on EMDR as her main treatment modality has also helped me get the most out of our sessions with deeper processing that provides long-lasting results.

Layne challenges me AND builds me up, all with an authentic directness that I admire. I'd recommend her to any friend who really wants to heal and is ready to do the emotional work to get there. I respect her a great deal.

I came to Layne looking for EMDR therapy to work through some trauma and help reduce nightmares. My meetings with Layne were fantastic. She is incredibly knowledgeable, unbiased, and straightforward with her approach. I greatly enjoyed my time working with her and would highly recommend her for EMDR therapy.
