Therapists in 20120

I offer supportive grief counseling to adults who are living after the death of an important person in their life. I also work with adults who are experiencing serious medical illness who are striving to find balance and purpose in their daily life. In addition I offer supportive counseling to adult family members of people living with chronic medical illnesses and life limiting diagnoses. As of 2023 I am only offering Zoom sessions. Due to limited openings I ask you to please email me and share your current challenges and goals for therapy. A phone consultation will then be scheduled for us to determine if we are a good fit.

Lately life is relentless. Overwhelming. Filled with demands. Suddenly, you’re full time mom, teacher, employee of the year and queen of the zoom meeting! There’s never a moment to yourself…yet you’ve never felt more alone, invisible, exhausted by it all. You find yourself anxious. How to balance all the competing demands and still have time to wipe down the groceries, let alone sleep a few hours before you get up to do it again? Your mind circles, trying to figure some way out of the trap…you don’t want to be grouchy. You long to get back to connection and peace, to be the fun-loving mom you always thought you’d be.

My goal is to help couples establish healthy communication and begin the healing process either as separate individuals or as a couple.

Everyone needs a place for space. A space to be heard. A space to share whatever you want. A space to process feelings, try out new perspectives, laugh, cry, grieve, be angry, talk about betrayal, to fight inner demons, to be brave, to be nervous, to simply BE whoever you are. I am a licensed professional counselor with over 20 years of experience providing space for people to process whatever they are dealing with. People come to me with a wide range of different issues. I am an eclectic therapist but tend to focus on using cognitive behavioral therapy. I love to meet new people, and I would love to work with you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and received my Masters degree from The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. I strive to help clients see a way forward from feeling stuck by forming a collaborative, therapeutic relationship. This is where clients feel empowered to maneuver life transitions in an authentic and honest way.

I began helping others in 1990 as a Peer Counselor (Drug Exemption NCO) while on active duty in the Marine Corps. After earning degrees in Psychology and Social Work at UNCW/ECU, I obtained licensure to practice independently with the Virginia Board of Health Professionals in 2004. I am originally from the Hampton Roads area but have worked internationally with people from many different backgrounds. I have continued to support the military, as well as the community at large, for over 3 decades with evidence-based treatments for trauma (PTSD).

My practice consists of adults and adolescents with mood disorders, grief and life issues. I offer a unique blend of Christian counseling with a cognitive behavorial model. Relationaly motivated to help those that enter my practice.

You're anxious. You've been down for weeks. You keep losing your temper. Your marriage has been so strained lately. You ask "Why can't I just pull myself together like everyone else seems to be able to do?" I get it. And I've been there. I can help walk you out of this... this is what I do. I help my clients find hope and freedom from the struggles preventing them from enjoying life and living out their purpose.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been working in the mental health field for over 20 years. I view therapy as a collaborative process that enables clients to gain perspective on their emotions, beliefs, relationships and behaviors. My approach is empathic, authentic and warm. I work from a strengths based perspective and assist clients in facing life challenges in realistic ways through a combination of cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic therapies. I provide a confidential, safe environment for exploration and change.

If you are an adult man or woman who is experiencing anxiety or depression or perhaps is struggling in a significant relationship, counseling can help you. With my collaborative approach we can work together to help you access the inner strengths you need to work through your difficult situation. I also work with clients who are struggling with grief from the loss of a significant other or in need of help to deal with anger issues. I have been trained in EFT for couples.

It's not often people get to say how much they enjoy their work, but I do. As the co-founder of Insight Into Action Therapy, I get to meet fascinating people and assist them as they navigate through tough times. I do so through individual and family therapy. In addition, I facilitate several groups, primarily our Dual Diagnosis Recovery Program which is designed to help individuals with co-occuring substance abuse and mental health problems. Besides therapy, I provide community educations and lectures on various topics impacting individuals and the society as a whole.
