Therapists in Virginia

I am an Education Specialist and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Ohio. I am also a Christian who believes that one of the greatest counseling verses in the Bible is found in Revelation 12:11: we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony. I believe talking things out is helpful for so many reasons, so I do my best to create a safe space to allow you to feel comfortable saying whatever you need to say. I have been in helping professions in some manner for over 20 years. I have experience with stress, depression, anxiety, postpartum depression/anxiety, and couples. I use Christian Counseling techniques, cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, strengths-based, and mindfulness techniques. I believe awareness of our thoughts and how we choose to process them can change the trajectory of our outcomes. I would be honored to be a part of your journey as you work to achieve your goals.

Some of our most joyful moments in life are also fraught with the discomfort that change can bring. Being a teen in today's world, becoming a young adult, parenting through the struggles, dealing with unexpected changes, living though a pandemic; so many things we experience that can bring on confusion, discomfort, and even feelings of hopelessness or helplessness. Sometimes the changes and challenges become overwhelming and you might find yourself thinking “How do I find my way forward?" I’m no stranger to discomfort and pain, I’ve walked in those shoes throughout my life. Combining my life experiences and training while working with adolescents and adults in a variety of settings from inpatient hospitalization, partial hospitalization, and outpatient treatment, I am here to help guide you on a new path towards the life you desire most.

Greetings! I am committed to providing a comfortable, culturally sensitive, non-judgmental counseling experience to anyone who may be struggling with life's challenges and demands.

I provide respectful, culturally sensitive, and ethical care to individuals, regardless of severity of challenge or struggle.

I have vast experience working with all-aged populations, but primarily with adolescents and adults for the past 20 years.

I received my Master of Social Work from Howard University located in the District of Columbia. I have a strong passion for helping my clients uncover and eliminate any unhelpful thought patterns that have been hindering them from having a fulfilled, positive and productive life. I know that life can be hard, especially when it's full of traumatic events and life transitions. I view therapy as a road trip, where you are the driver, and I am the passenger riding along to keep you company. My role as the therapist is the passenger and I assist you to reach your destination. You may ask, what does that look like? Imagine that you are on a road trip with friends and each of them are in charge of something different. Such as, someone is in charge of the directions, someone is responsible for the music while traveling to make sure you do not fall asleep behind the wheel. Think of me as all of those individuals put into one person. My main goal is to be here to support and guide you to your destination. Therapy is not always an easy trip but as long as you are willing to keep putting forth the effort to reach your destination, I'll be there to support. My areas of focus includes: women's issues, perinatal/postpartum mental health, relationship issues, adjustment/ transition issues, anxiety, stress management, and grief and loss.
