I love working with adult clients in areas of identity, relationships, stress/anxiety, family of origin issues, and substance use. I also help traditional and non-traditional couples address issues of communication while fostering mutual love, care, trust, and respect and restoring harmony in relationships. I take a strengths-based, proactive approach to treatment to facilitate healing while building lifelong skills and a strong sense of self-worth.

You are not alone in your journey to feel better, mentally and physically. Are you experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, stress or feelings of fear that are holding you back? Symptoms of PTSD? Feeling depressed, overwhelmed or unmotivated? Do you have unresolved trauma? Have you experienced abuse? Difficult or unfulfilling relationships? I specialize in helping clients identify problem areas in their lives and formulate goals to improve them. We will work to eliminate any self limiting and sabotaging beliefs patterns and you will acquire coping skills, strategies and resources to succeed. Healing and thriving is possible!

If you have felt the impact of life transitions including anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship and self-esteem issues, therapy can be a beautiful step towards a more fulfilling life. Therapy provides an opportunity to process and explore, in a judgement free space, in order to build upon strengths and identify areas ready for growth and change. As a therapist working in Virginia for well over a decade, I have provided services to both adolescents and adults, assisting with stressors associated with mental health, family and relationship dynamics, communication struggles, life stage changes, and women's issues.

I primarily provide Telehealth services and limited face to face. I am a Licensed Clinical psychologist who completed clinical training at Duke University, Harvard Medical School's Victims of Violence Program and at the University of Massachusetts and UNC-Chapel Hill. I provide highly specialized treatments for traumatic stress (posttraumatic stress disorders), grief/loss, major depression, anxiety and relationship issues. I am trained in highly specialized, evidenced-based therapies that have scientific research supporting their efficacy. I have also worked extensively with veterans, students and physicians coping with burnout.

"Are you feeling stressed out about your relationships, employment, finances, addiction, your future? Is your stress causing anxiety, tension and depression? Trouble sleeping due to stress, anxiety and past/current trauma? I am interested in helping people live their best life. I am concerned with how stress affects us and I am trained and skilled to assist people in learning skills and strategies to reduce their stress and find more happiness in their lives. I have experience treating individuals with mood and thought disorders, substance abuse, trauma, stress and anxiety and a host of life issues.

So, you are the one who "doesn't need anyone's help". You ignore the red flags in relationships or neglect yourself because someone needs you. You're the overwhelmed person who wears the happiness mask even though you are feeling drained, depleted or trying to heal your past traumas. Life is about transitions, and we need support getting through the rough patches. You are more resilient, capable of healing, worthy of love, and deserving of peace than you may realize. If you’re ready to reduce the stress, heal, or confidently achieve peace for a better quality of life, you're in the right place.

Joseph is a holistic and integrative therapist and his core principles are compassion, collaboration, and transparency.

He provides counseling to couples and families to address stress, communication concerns, and conflict.

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.

Dealing with a breakup can have your heart in a million pieces! Coping with the death of a loved one takes your breath away! Having mood swings and constantly being in conflict with others feel like you’re on an emotional roller coaster! Perhaps, you’ve been dealing with depression for a long time but didn’t quite know what it was. For some of my clients, before starting therapy, they were at war with depression, dealing with intrusive thoughts related to past trauma, or trying to tame anxiety attacks. It thrills me to celebrate my clients’ successes and break throughs!

I obtained my MSW from Virginia Commonwealth University. I have spent my career working with older adults and their families, helping to ease the transitions that come with aging. Also, I have experience helping individuals of almost all ages and walks of life navigate life’s challenges.

I enjoy providing support for adult individuals looking to improve interpersonal and relationship skills, cope with symptoms of anxiety and depression, decrease patterns of perfectionism and shame, address poor body image, increase self-worth, and address past trauma and attachment related issues.

I work with teens and adults (13+). I work with individuals of all races, ethnicities, spiritual identities, and am LGBTQ+ affirming. I intentionally keep my private practice small because I want to be able to provide the best care for my clients. This means I am often unable to take clients that do not fit within my scope of expertise. I will not be a good fit for you if: 1)You have actively engaged in self-harm or suicide attempts in the past year. 2) You are struggling with substance abuse or addiction. 3) You are engaged in ongoing court or legal system involvement.

Going to therapy can be scary, but it doesn’t have to be. The most important tool in therapy is the relationship between client and therapist. Building that relationship and a level of trust is the first thing we will do together. If you’ve gotten this far, you must be ready for change. Whether it’s unhappiness in a relationship, noticing a pattern or cycle you want to change, or feeling ready to become the best version of yourself. My job is to help support you through this process, and give you perspectives you may not have considered before. I help people connect with their true selves and work towards healing of past traumas.

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!

Sometimes, life can be difficult to navigate, and you just need someone with whom to process all that is going on inside of you. You may be struggling with your faith journey or with relating to your children, your partner, or your parents. You might be asking scary questions about your own identity, including gender or sexuality. You may have teens who need an adult outside of their network to provide a listening and nonjudgmental ear, or someone just to bring perspective. You might be failing to maintain focus on what matters in life and need some emotional support to live the life you always hoped you would live.
