Hello, I am a Supervisee in Social Work in the state of Virginia, with six years of experience working in the mental health field. My passion for helping others grow and achieve their personal goals is what brought me into this field. I recognize that the journey of life comes with challenges, stressors, and obstacles. My goal is to create a supportive environment for you to express yourself, learn to cope with mental health challenges, and make positive changes to live a more satisfying life.

Through various methods the goal is to assist clients along their mental health journey, by encouraging the use of positive coping mechanisms and adapting to life’s changes in positive and sustainable ways. I possess strong interpersonal communication and motivational skills, that promote action based progress in the therapeutic environment by fostering a safe and trusting environment, that allows client engagement in a variety of activities to help them achieve long-term and short-term goals.

The fact that you arrived here says that you're looking to work on your overall well being. Even choosing to browse around for help is a HUGE step in the right direction!! It's difficult to pick up the phone or type in the words and put your trust in another person, and I'm here to help and support you in your search for change, growth, help, and/or having to deal difficult situations. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Certified Sex Offender Treatment Provider, and can help with a variety of issues including, but not limited to: Trauma, Adolescents, Adjustment issues, relational/familial problems, and stress.

No one is exempt from struggle and hardship. In this life we all experience situations and circumstances that are at times beyond our control that cause stress and difficulties. Everyone needs a helping hand at some point in their life. Ascension Counseling is here to act as this helping hand.

You feel like you have done all you can do, but nothing seems to work. You feel frustrated because you can't seem to concentrate or handle the stressful events at hand. Your personality seems to change in a direction that is not healthy, and you are worried things could get worse. You just want help or guidance to help you cope with what life throws at you.

I believe in an individual approach to therapy and testing for my clients. Using a person-centered and holistic view, I'll help you identify goals and accompany you on your journey to reach them. I primarily provide psychological evaluations and limited therapy for children, adults and older adults in Norfolk, VA. Most insurances accepted.

Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with over 9 years of experience in the field of counseling and 4 years of providing Licensure supervision. I have worked with a variety of individuals and issues, to include children, teenagers, and adults of all ages. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual trauma, DID, compulsive behaviors, and anger management to name a few. I am also a Sex positive, ENM and Kink friendly/knowledgeable therapist. I also have worked on relationship issues, sex and intimacy issues, family interaction challenges, parenting issues, career needs, and everyday challenges.

There are so many challenges that are present in this ever changing world. Many individuals experience difficulty with navigating through the transitions of life, obstacles in their environments, and regulation of emotions. Extra encouragement, support, and skills can be beneficial to increase positive experiences and develop mental stability.

Have you heard “You don’t seem like yourself lately is something going on with you?” Is the stress of life overshadowing your joy and purpose? If you have been where you are for a while and now you are finally ready to make a change, I congratulate you on taking the first step. It is never to early (or too late) to be intentional with your life and overall wellness. It is time to make you a priority and give yourself space to focus on you. It is your time to grow, process, explore and heal from the inside out. Allow me to be apart of your journey as you work toward a stronger and healthier you.

The decision to seek mental health services is a deeply personal, emotional, and challenging choice to make. Congratulations on taking the first step in seeking out services as you journey to a higher version of your present self! My sincere urge to give back to my community eventually led me to achieve my Master’s Degree from Eastern Virginia Medical School in a dual degree in Art Therapy and Counseling program, with a specialization in Advanced Trauma-Informed Art Therapy and Cultural Sensitivity.

I treat adults who are struggling with the aftermath of trauma, both childhood and recent and who have adapted to coping with their negative beliefs about themselves by caretaking others and ignoring their own needs. I treat relationship problems, depression, PTSD, and anxiety.

Making the decision to attend counseling is not an easy one. It takes courage and strength to admit "I need help".

My goal is to empower, encourage, and give my clients the tools they need to work through any season. I am Resident in Counseling in the Commonwealth of Virginia and a Certified Trauma Professional who has always had a passion and desire for helping others.

Everyone should have a comfortable place and be a judgment-free zone to feel free to talk. I hope I can provide you with that level of comfort to engage in services. Just about everything in this new world we live in has been stressful for everyone in some way, even children. I'm here to help guide your family members or you through the path you need.

Are you struggling with recent events? Or are you facing the new difficulties with a life altering event or diagnosis? Are past events and challenges weighing more heavily then they used to?

Are you a woman dealing with stress and anxiety that gets in the way of your relationship(s), school, and work? Do you find yourself dealing with perfectionism, which limits you from setting boundaries with others that cause you to feel overwhelmed? Are you a woman of color who finds yourself constantly dealing with societal criticism? Many women struggle with having control of their emotions whenever...If some of these questions resonate, you landed on the right page. I want to congratulate you on the first step. Let's start working on your healing journey to overcome societal norms, anxiety, depression, and generational trauma.
