Domestic Abuse Therapists in Chesterfield, VA

Often the first step towards making a change is taking a realistic look at where you've been, where you are now, and where you want to be. Although it can be painfully difficult at first, you can begin making changes, one day at a time, that will take you closer to living the life you desire. Using EMDR and talk therapy, we'll focus on healing the wounds of the past, finding joy in the present, and bringing clarity to your future. It's time for you let go of the things that hold you back and start to discover all the ways in which you were meant to shine. Hope and healing are at the heart of what I have to offer.

One of the most useful tools that a therapist has is the relationship that is built between the client and clinician.

My work as a psychotherapist is rooted in a profound belief that by recognizing and honoring our complex, messy life stories with honesty and gentleness, we lay the foundation to heal the obstacles preventing us from building fulfilling, meaningful lives. Throughout life, we all create narratives about ourselves to help us survive. These narratives are shaped by myriad factors (individual life experiences, relationships, intergenerational legacies, and experiences of oppression/privilege, belonging/rejection, among others). Over time, our narratives and coping mechanisms fall short. We wonder, what went wrong? What's wrong with me?

Change is possible, and our lives can differ from what we currently live. Most of us don’t have the knowledge or tools to make those changes. That is where counseling can help. As a therapist, I can assist you with understanding and processing why and how you think. Knowledge is power. Once you have that knowledge, you can implement changes in your life. Therapy allows you to create your toolbox filled with coping mechanisms, stress-relieving techniques, and reframing tools that you can rely on throughout your life to get you through difficult times and situations.
