Does it feel hard to find a therapist who gets it? I specialize in helping high EQ/IQ individuals move to their next level of thriving. My areas of focus include anxiety, couples counseling, ADHD, OCD, addiction, and trauma. I help you tap into your innate wisdom so that you can create goals and begin to consider your legacy, using your gifts to better your community. Many clients I work with were told they were "too sensitive" as a child. They might struggle now with gifted kid burnout. I can guide you in reconnecting with younger parts of yourself and shift unhelpful core beliefs. I am licensed in Virginia, DC, and Maryland.

Hi, I’m Terra—a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia. My journey into counseling began long before I earned my degrees from Talladega College and Faulkner University. It started with a deep curiosity about people—their stories, their struggles, and the strength they often don’t realize they have. Over the past 8 years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside adolescents and adults as they faced anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and relationship challenges. Each person brings a unique story, and I’m here to help you uncover the parts that need healing, clarity, or simply someone to listen without judgment.

You’re a high-achiever, but you struggle with the weight of anxiety. Despite your success, feelings of dread and restlessness shadow your days. You find yourself mentally and physically exhausted because you’re always on edge; constantly waiting for the shoe to drop. Life has become nothing more than merely surviving. You feel stuck, defeated, and your self-confidence is shattered. Anxiety has stolen your sense of accomplishment, ruined your relationships, and stopped you from achieving your goals. You long to move beyond the pain and live a more peaceful and purposeful life that you love.

I help people in challenging relationships clarify what is going on and find their path back to feeling cared for, respected, and loved. Anxiety is tiring. It is always there, nagging: “What if ...., What if ...?" You want to feel at peace – to breathe in and out, have space, and not feel pressured. Anxiety hijacks your thoughts and squeezes the space out. Things get tight. Time is short, money is short, and relationships are at risk. We will work together to understand your anxiety better. You can’t know it well when you run away from it, or it runs you. We will help you get back in control, feel at peace, and enjoy your life.
