Welcome. I am a Virginia-Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping individuals find relief from life’s most pressing challenges, including relationship difficulties, parenting stressors, identity struggles, depression, grief, and anxiety. My diverse clinical background spans private practice, community agencies, and intensive in-home services, allowing me to effectively support clients across the lifespan—from young children to older adults. Clients frequently describe my therapeutic style as warm, professional, and appropriately humorous, creating an approachable environment where meaningful change can happen. To ensure my clients achieve measurable relief, I utilize EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) alongside traditional therapeutic modalities. This specialized training allows me to successfully guide clients through healing from trauma and reducing severe anxiety and depressive symptoms. I invite you to reach out today to discuss how we can partner in your wellness journey.

Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Certified Case Manager (CCM) serving adults across Virginia through virtual therapy. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, and life transitions using evidence-based approaches including CBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care. My goal is to provide a supportive, authentic, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful change aligned with your values.

I am a licensed professional counselor with over 15 years of experience guiding individuals, couples, and families toward healing and transformation. As a retired veteran, pastor, and therapist, I bring a unique blend of professional expertise, life experience, and faith-based wisdom to my practice. I believe true healing starts with prayer. Prayer is the lifeline to our relationship with God, the foundation of our healing process. In our pursuit of health and restoration, prayer validates our deep-seated desires for renewal and supports our mental and physical well-being. It ignites a direct line to God’s heart, where healing is amplified, and transformation takes place. Through this connection, we gain strength, clarity, and the ability to navigate life’s challenges with faith and resilience.

I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change when they are met with compassion, respect, and genuine understanding. My approach to therapy is grounded in Person-Centered Therapy, creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to explore life's challenges at their own pace. I have experience working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, addiction, and suicidal ideation, providing compassionate, evidence-based care during some of life's most difficult moments. I also have experience supporting military members, veterans, first responders, and couples, recognizing the unique stressors and relationship dynamics these populations often experience. Clients often describe me as inquisitive, personable, and easy to talk to. I believe that curiosity, authentic connection, and thoughtful listening are essential to understanding each person's unique story, Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I collaborate with clients to identify their strengths, clarify their goals, and develop practical strategies that foster resilience, healing, and lasting change. Whether you are navigating a life transition, working through emotional pain, strengthening your relationships, or seeking personal growth, I am committed to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and encouragement as you move toward the life you want to create.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe everyone deserves a safe, supportive space to heal and grow. Growing up in a conservative community in South America, I witnessed how stigma often prevents people from seeking help. That experience inspired my commitment to creating a welcoming, judgment-free environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered. I work collaboratively with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is compassionate, culturally responsive, and tailored to your unique needs, integrating evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, mindfulness, and EMDR-informed techniques to help you process difficult experiences, build resilience, and create lasting change.

I am a firm believer that every encounter in our life causes change in all parties involved, no matter how small the encounter. Even if the client and I agree or disagree about us being a good fit we are both changed. We might not notice the change at first, but it's there. I try to bring my 100% to every session and I hope my clients do the same with the understanding that our 100% changes everyday due to life situations. I do share personal experiences with clients if it is appropriate to do so and I feel it would benefit the client. I am a mom of three young children and a wife, so I understand how life can get busy and overwhelming at times. I live to call these times our Life's Storms and just by getting through the day(s) even if it just barely getting by; by clients choosing to try to continue on even at the hardest points in the Life's Storms they are Braving Life's Storms. This doesn't mean that are aren't time when clients will have thoughts of wanting to just pause life, or run away and start over because that is normal and coming to counseling to seek help is brave and hard in and of itself.

I strive to create a therapy space that feels safe, supportive, and down-to-earth. My approach is compassionate, honest, and collaborative. I want clients to feel understood and not judged, while also feeling supported in making meaningful changes. In my practice, I help clients better understand themselves, recognize patterns, build coping skills, and move toward healing at a pace that feels manageable.

Congratulations on taking the first step - reaching out for support! I have been working in the mental health field for over 9 years, and have a history of working with individuals, groups, as well as in crisis settings. I provide open-minded, empathetic, and solution focused care. Your goals are my goals, and I strive each session to support your strength and self-empowerment. We will work together to navigate and cope with stressors.

My approach to counseling is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, trauma-informed care, and relapse prevention strategies. I believe therapy is most effective when it combines compassion with practical skills that you can apply in your everyday life. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working in intensive outpatient treatment, substance use recovery, and clinical leadership. These experiences have deepened my appreciation for the resilience of the people I serve and reinforced my belief that meaningful change is possible, even during life's most difficult moments. Clients often describe me as approachable, compassionate, genuine, and easy to talk to. I believe healing begins with a trusting relationship, and I consider it an honor to walk alongside my clients as they rediscover their strengths, overcome challenges, and create lives that feel healthier, more balanced, and more fulfilling.

Hello! My name is Meredith. I am an LPC, and have been in private practice since 2021. I am deeply passionate about what I do and I'm so glad to be getting started on Grow. As a therapist, I intentionally try to bring my most genuine and authentic self to my clients. I know how crucial this is as the basis of a productive working relationship. My sessions are primarily client-led, meaning I will prioritize what feels most prescient to you on a given day, and meet you where you are. At the same time, I will help ensure that we are consistently working toward your specific goals. I feel that the best therapeutic outcomes come from the most secure and trusting counseling relationships, and that is what I try to provide. It is probably also important for any potential client to know that my office will always be a safe space for all, regardless of belonging to any underserved, disenfranchised community. When I am not at work, I love cooking, all things macabre and scary- books, movies, podcasts, and I love reading and hanging out with my family. I am passionate about all kinds of art and the written word. I recently took up archery, and it is a great outlet. Otherwise, I am an indoor type of gal, especially in the summer. I am quick to laugh, and will often crack a joke at my own expense.

Together, we will explore your experiences at a pace that feels comfortable, while also encouraging growth and self-awareness that extends beyond our sessions. I strive to foster a trusting therapeutic relationship where you feel safe to be authentic, take risks, and develop greater confidence in your ability to navigate life’s challenges.
