Come on and lets chat a while...Life tends to weigh us down with the daily demands of living and providing for not only ourselves but also others who depend on us as well. When we are used to being the one who has the answers and the ability to help everyone else, its hard to accept that we need someone in our corner as well. There is no shame in having someone to talk to and have assist you through situations that bog us down. During my time clinician, I have learned how to assist others through various trial, identify triggers and barriers that prevent them from overcoming the obstacles in front of them. Call me to chat a while!

Hello, I am a Master's level intern who is working towards completing clinical hours needed towards my Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. Therapy can be an intimidating thought, especially if you do not know what to expect about the person sitting across from you. As your therapist, I will strive to create a comfortable, inviting, and safe environment so that we can build that therapeutic relationship which I believe has to be present in order for therapy to be beneficial for you.

My true passion is working with individuals whom are in need of hope, encouragement, and support to address difficult situations in their life. I strive to see people as individuals and to recognize their unique qualities and talents. I believe that everyone has the capacity for change and my role in this process is to walk with the individual throughout this challenging process. Human beings are creatures of habit, therefore change is difficult for anyone. If you feel alone or defeated then change is that much more challenging.

My passion involves healing that improves one’s personal life and their interactions with others. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Virginia and a graduate of Liberty University.

People are all impacted by struggles in life and have the capacity to take these in and strive for more. I started my career from the end of life with 10 years in hospice work, which may seem a bit backwards to some. However, a decade of working with the dying taught me how to work more effectively with the living. I am a veteran of the field with 12 years of experience working with folks from all walks of life, mainly those with trauma, depression, and anxiety impacting their quality of life and performance. Together we will assess your strengths and identify patterns of behavior you desire to change.

I would like to provide you with a healthy, safe and calming environment, while providing medication management and holistic care. It can be difficult to manage the day to day when you are not feeling your best. Treatment starts with a conversation, and I am here to listen without judgement. While medication for mental health is sometimes warranted, to get you through something, it does not necessarily mean that it will be forever.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
