Therapists in Madison Heights, VA

Therapy is a collaborative process to improving your well-being. I enjoy working with individuals who are looking to improve their mental well-being as well as relationships and other aspects of life. You may need support, psychoeducation, and the opportunity to explore your past and present and how it affects you. My clients may be new to mental health treatment and seeking help to accept and manage the challenges of their diagnosis.

I work with individuals who are feeling stuck in life, experiencing anxiety, depression, shame, trauma, and relationship problems.

My ideal client is one who wants to building a collaborative relationship that will help to foster change. I believe that most of the work of therapy happens in between sessions, so my clients will benefit if they are willing to practice the things that we agree will be helpful. I am less focused on diagnoses than beliefs, feelings, and behaviors that are amenable to change. I am hoping that my clients have decided that they are willing to be vulnerable at this point in their lives and that they are open to having me participate in their journey toward a more effective life strategy.
