3 therapists in Virginia matching your needs

Warm Greetings! Are you struggling with finding meaning, joy, or peace in your life? Do you feel as if you are carrying the world on your shoulders? Are you finding it difficult to manage your life or do you constantly worry about things that you can’t control? Deciding to come to therapy can be overwhelming and I applaud you for taking a courageous first step. I believe therapy is a place where you can come and unload all of your, as well as develop the strength to embrace small changes to create a life of balance and strength. I work with clients to assist them in finding productive and healthy ways to grow through depression, grief, life stressors, trauma related issues, anxiety, as well as challenges within relationships and various other concerns. I utilize a holistic and evidenced based approach to align mind and body. Allow me to partner with you on this journey to wholeness.

Social work is my passion and it has been for over 17 years. I have worked in a variety of settings using different treatment modalities. As I began working in the field as a substance abuse counselor, I recognized how great the need was in mental health and the challenges many individuals have faced as a result of trauma. My experience in providing years of group therapy helped me realize that there were many individuals who could benefit from therapy in a smaller context on an individual level. My experience includes corrections, community mental health, and working with active-duty service members and veterans. I earned my Bachelor of Science Degree in Social Work at Longwood University in 2003 and Master of Science Degree in Social Work from Capella University in 2019.

Reaching out for help in the form of therapy is not an easy thing to do as many can attest, but by reading this biography, you are taking the first step in getting help for yourself or a loved one. At times, life offers many struggles and obstacles that can be difficult to overcome alone. Engaging in therapy will provide opportunities to explore and process the thoughts and feelings that prevent you from living your best life. Though the thought of therapy may be intimidating and even nerve-wrecking for some, I believe once a person finds the right therapist, they find a trusting confidant who seeks to understand and problem solve.
