Therapists in Henrico County, VA

I am a psychotherapist for adult individuals and couples. Do you want stronger, clearer and healthier relationships? My clients consist mainly of open minded, artistic and unconventional persons wanting more intimacy and connection or wanting to explore their innate gifts and talents. I also work with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and non-binary persons. However, I love working with anyone who is seeking growth, wholeness and perspective.

We long to be seen, heard, and loved for who we truly are. Attachments to our truth is reflected in the way we feel about ourselves. Good therapy offers a path for removing the blocks that keep our true selves small and hidden. With a commitment to your authentic self you can connect to the pure light that is within you. The change that you experience will be deep, lasting and real in ways you’d never imagine after years of being alone. Imagine the change you seek now and together we will look back and we will look forward- All that’s required is your presence. Mahalo for your consideration!

"People only seriously consider change when they feel accepted for exactly who they are" -Carl Rogers I believe that if a person is given the appropriate environment and support they can become their best self. Together we can take a look inward and work toward developing and unlocking the best you. For years we often hold ourselves prisoner, allow me the privilege to assist with developing personal insight into past traumas and future successes. By developing the capacity to live in the moment, we tap into our 5 senses and allow ourselves to truly live in the moment free of our past or future.

When a person realizes that self awareness is the only long term solution, they will seek only to understand themselves. No longer do they seek to blame the outside world for their thoughts or feelings. My ideal client is one who seeks to do the work to evolve . Together we start the journey to locate the "inner" barriers that may be holding you back. We do the work to gain control of your thoughts and feelings that are keeping you feeling "stuck". Lasting relief comes from learning techniques which are less about problem-solving and more about letting-go of old beliefs and habits. Know thyself and the whole world changes!

Working with couples and men is awesome. My clients always surprise me with their intelligence and strength, even if muted by their immediate troubles. Focusing on the connection the couple does have, we can work on the skills to being our own individual within the relationship. Working with men often involves negotiating the contradictions the world presents, attending to power differentials and how they impact our inner world, discovering where our habits developed and how we want to change and grow who we are in the world. I utilize a multitude of maps to offer my clients impactful and effective interventions.

Let me help you release past trauma, draw healthy boundaries, over come narcissistic abuse, move beyond anxiety and depression, and create a life where you go from surviving to thriving. As a counselor, Zen teacher, and guided imagery and music practitioner, I can help you engage your inner self, at a deep and transformative level. Call today to create lasting change in your life.
