Teletherapy for Richmond, VA

Eating challenges, whether yours or your loved ones, can feel lonely, confusing, and shameful. And yet, for many, they can also feel stabilizing and familiar, or simply unavoidable. The relationships we keep with our food and body can be incredibly complex and influenced by a multitude of factors. After years of experience working with eating disorders at all levels of care, I understand those complexities and the sensitive nature of this type of work. I offer a collaborative space for those individuals and families who are ready to work towards a life where eating is intuitive, connective, and safe.

I approach all therapy with an understanding of the ways our childhood, the environment around us, and the systems we live in impact our mental health and who we are as people. I use a strengths-based and client-centered approach that centers compassion and a deep respect for the therapeutic relationship as a powerful tool in growing in healing and recovery. I have over nine years of experience supporting survivors of child abuse, dating and domestic violence, and other forms of trauma.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor I have worked in the Richmond area for over 25 years. I work with families, adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression and family issues. Past experience includes: inpatient substance abuse hospital(adolescent unit, Inpatient psychiatric hospital (adolescent unit), United Way, Chesterfield Mental Health, Commonwealth Parenting, St. Bridget's School and private practice.

I believe that treatment should focus on making peoples' lives better, on improving their relationships, on helping them understand who they are, and on making sure that progress and healing continues long after treatment ends. I have more than twenty years of experience working with children, adolescents, families, and adults, in outpatient and inpatient settings, and in homes throughout the state.

Our clients require training and education on ways to improving coping mechanisms when living with a mental health illness/diagnosis. We train, monitor, and educate clients on skills development for living independently. We teach clients about their psychotropic medication and ensure medication management. We connect and educate clients to and about community resources. We also demonstrate, train, and model self-advocacy skills to our clients. Our clients may have treatment history that includes substance abuse or doctor's recommendation.

People come to therapy with strengths and skills that have helped them to survive up until meeting me, and I find that it is often better to work with existing tools rather than tearing down entire foundations. As a clinician, I can help you to decide what stays, what goes, what skills should be emphasized, and what skills should be learned. I have supported others to solve relationship problems, establish effective coping systems, with adjusting to difficult life experiences and spaces. We are both experts in the room and I will use my understandings of integrative practices to help build the dream that you imagine for yourself.

You may be struggling to identify how you are feeling or experiencing invalidation in your emotions. Maybe you’re feeling stuck in a relationship, with an upcoming decision, or with where you are in life. You might be feeling grief, anxiety, or deep sadness. I work with teens and adults to navigate all types of emotions and process how to move forward with them. Having a judgement free zone to fully process your emotions, your options in an upcoming decision, or to navigate difficult relationships can bring so much clarity!

GHDC practices from the belief that everyone can succeed if given the resources to do so, and we know that everyone has a purpose to discover. A therapist’s duty is to empower.

Our agency has considerable experience with trauma, serious mental illness, and holistic treatment methods. We are also experienced in servicing children, offering play based counseling and art based therapies.
