Hello, I'm Justin. Have you ever felt overwhelmed by stress and life's complexities? Many do, and it's more common than you might think. Life's challenges can leave us feeling exhausted, anxious, and disconnected. But remember, you're not alone in this journey. As a Licensed Professional Counselor offering virtual therapy in Virginia and North Carolina, my role is to walk with you in creating a safe, empowering space. Together, we'll explore and employ a range of therapeutic techniques tailored to your unique needs. My goal? To help you navigating the intricacies of life and forge meaningful connections — with others and with yourself. In therapy, we uncover the roots of your stress, lighten your emotional load, and find strength in support and understanding. It's about building resilience and rediscovering your inner balance. If you're reading this, you've already taken a brave first step. You recognize the need for change and understand that carrying the burden alone isn't the only way. If you're ready to move forward, to cultivate lasting change and greater self-awareness, I'm here to guide you. Reach out, and let's start this transformative journey together.

Like the name of my practice, I believe individuals are also capable of blooming throughout even the most difficult of circumstances. As a therapist that treats anxiety, ocd, depression, and trauma it is my goal to help individuals have a better understanding of themselves, process past pain, and feel confident in moving through life. I aim to be that safe guide that will assist you with reaching the life you want. Ultimately, you are the boss and have a say in what changes you want to make and your goals. With the help of my expertise, I will assist you with finding meaning in your life, facing painful situations, and living a life you value. Throughout this process I encourage transparency and open communication, as this is your life not mine. YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT SPOT. I understand, I have been there too, watching myself go through life while feeling like a shell of a person. After experiencing several traumatic events, the loss of both my parents in my early 20’s, and experiencing homelessness I was left reeling with a variety of painful emotions. With the support of some wonderful individuals, I was able to grab control of my life and continue to live boldly. Therapy with me isn't about becoming someone "different.” There is no such thing as perfection, only progress. I believe you deserve to be heard, validated, and supported. Your story is yours and just as important as anyone else’s story.

Welcome, I'm glad you are here! I'm Aline and I empower you to reconnect with your authentic self, and achieve your goals in counseling.

My goal is to provide a safe therapeutic environment for exploration, understanding of current unhelpful patterns, collaborative problem solving, and building of skills that foster growth.
