Codependency Therapists in Petersburg, VA

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has over 20 years of experience as a mental health provider. I currently serve as the Executive Director of a non-profit community outpatient mental health clinic.

Struggling to function at work and at home, meet deadlines, as well as the expectations of relationships, while also experiencing anxiety, depression or substance abuse-whatever the challenge may be-can be hard to explain to friends and family. At times explaining what's happening in our heads actually feels more exhausting than what's really happening and can lead us to isolation and loneliness.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my objective is to support individuals with identifying suitable and functional lifestyles to enhance their efforts towards living a balanced and satisfying life. My approach to therapy is through a person-centered, holistic strategy aimed to improve self-awareness, life perspectives, emotional and mental health functioning. Treatment modalities ranges from a number of theoretical perspectives, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused, Trauma-Focused CBT, Psychodynamic, and others based on the needs of each individual.

Are you ready to live and not just exist? Do you need help processing current and/or past events and require motivation to make it through tumultuous times? Well, I'm here to help. I utilize a person-centered approach to help you navigate life challenges and transitions. My goal is to assist you with re-framing those negative beliefs that have been instilled in you and may have caused you to be stagnant and complacent. I'm here to help you restructure those thoughts and modify correlating behaviors to improve your overall quality of life.

Looking for help is difficult; especially, when it comes to something so personal to us, like our mental health. My first goal is to offer a safe, warm, and comfortable environment so that individuals, couples, and families can gain relief and truly thrive intrapersonally and with others. I specialize in trauma, addictions (both chemical and behavioral), anxiety disorders, and complex grief. Before joining private practice, I worked across multiple environments including inpatient hospitals, rehab facilities, and outpatient settings. I also spent a bulk of my training providing care to military and first responders.

Currently NOT Accepting New Clients...Are you feeling stuck, unmotivated, or confused? Are you an individual who wants it all and does it all but rarely asks for help with any of it? Maybe life’s circumstances are causing you to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or inadequate. At times, it may be difficult to find the right words to describe what you are feeling and may need some clarity. If you feel this way and are ready for change, you don't have to go through this alone. In our sessions, you are provided a safe space where you can remove your "superhero” cape and be supported through the journey of self-awareness and positive change.

Being vulnerable is hard, it's uncomfortable and it is entirely human. I view therapy as an opportunity to explore what it means to be fully human, ultimately allowing for increased awareness and acceptance to all the parts that have shaped us. My role as the therapist is to help make this exploration manageable through co-creating an environment that is both safe and judgement free. My approaches are primarily person-centered, strengths-based, and integrative. I believe that each client is unique and take the time to know them individually and holistically.

Helping clients become the best version of themselves through building a comfortable and non-judgmental therapeutic alliance. Welcoming diverse clients from every walk of life.
