Therapists in Richmond, VA

I have over 15 years of experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings including private practice, residential, outpatient, in-home, and addictions. There are various times in our lives that are challenging and taking the first step to asks for help can feel overwhelming. I have experience working with individuals, and couples ranging in age from preteen to adulthood in many areas of need such as depression, mood instability, substance use, anxiety, history of trauma, and family/relationships conflicts.

Adolescence and adulthood are challenging, and coping with trauma, depression, and anxiety can make life even tougher.

I believe that you have the tools to heal within you, and I can give you the skills to harness your power.

Life is messy. And hard and complicated. It doesn't matter if you are a kid, a parent, a teen, or adult we all thrive when we have relationships to connect us to ourselves, families, and our world during stressful times. What I do best is create a space (physical or emotional) for healing within ourselves and relationships. I work with people of all ages, and especially love working with kids and their caregivers, to focus on healing and understanding.

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.

Life’s challenges may cause us to react and respond in many different ways. Our current situation may or may not be in our immediate control, but when we look at our life, long-term, it will be the decisions that we make today that set the course of the overall outcome. Experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, confusion, and frustration (to name a few) may be a part of that journey, but you do not have to go down that road alone. It's important to have a safe and confidential space to work through challenges, become more resilient, and come out on the other side with confidence and skills to manage the situations you face.

Whether you're just beginning your journey or continuing your recovery, I am here to support you. I encourage and support clients through their journey of recovery through learning and implementing self-care, self-advocacy and increasing self-worth. I believe there is no perfect trajectory in recovery, and each success and challenge can benefit our work together. Most often underlying issues of depression, anxiety, and trauma can be addressed, which can help work through what purpose the eating disorder is serving.

I believe trusting clients' innate ability to understand and heal themselves. This belief also guides my work with family, couples' and children's issues. I help clients access their own emotional intelligence - awareness that a lack of confidence and support often block. I can help clients discover and articulate their desired change. I use techniques from different traditions - primarily Family Systems, Self and Developmental Psychology, cognitive/behavioral approaches, but believe primarily in the healing power of relationship.
