Therapists in Christiansburg, VA

My ideal client is one that is open to change, discovery and discussion. Each experience and challenge we face are a part of our story and my goal is to assist my clients on their journey to becoming the best versions of themselves. Being able to work together to share new ideas, establish short-term and long-term goals and also reflect on the progress is important to me in this journey. I have a passion for working with my clients in a collaborative way that brings their inner strengths and resilience forward.

I am a Married and Family Therapist Resident in Counseling. I completed my Master’s degree at Northcentral University. I have a Bachelor’s degree from Tuskegee University. My professional experience in career counseling and working with youth services programs has led me to the marriage and family therapy field.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Radford University. Most of my experience stems around working with adults although I do have some experience with children and adolescents. I also have experience working in crisis intervention/stabilization, intensive services, and emergency services.

I provide quality, teletherapy services to individuals in the state of Virginia. I work with expecting, new moms, and parents who are transitioning to life with a new tiny human. My passion is helping individuals with this miraculous and overwhelming transition to parenthood. I also love working with folks struggling to manage anxiety and perfectionism in their lives.

I am a Clinical Psychologist in the Christiansburg area. I use a variety of therapies to help each individual with their specific needs. My approach to therapy is warm, empathic, and caring. Whether there is pain from which you are seeking relief, or ways you just feel stuck, my job is to empower and equip you to grow into more of the person you want to be – and to respect and care for the person you already have become! I also offer objective testing for ADHD and other forms of psychological assessment.

I love to work with adolescents, young adults and adults to help support them with a variety of different concerns including anxiety, depression, grief and loss, interpersonal relationship difficulties, self-esteem, trauma/PTSD, mood disorders, serious mental illness, and difficult life events and transitions, as well as other mental health issues.

I have a special interest in helping people overcome anxiety and trauma, as well as depression, manage adjustment to life difficulties, deal with substance recovery, and seek personal growth. My view of those I serve is based on an understanding of each individual as a whole person, which goes beyond their challenges. I have a Person-Centered philosophy, with use of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).

Be the author of your own life! Life's challenges often make us feel lost or stuck and I believe that therapy is the best starting point for drawing a new and improved road map. My primary goal is to help my clients remove the barriers to self-acceptance and make choices that are in their best interest, so that they can lead a fulfilling and self-directed life.

I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, and adults. With my clients, I enjoy working with the following issues: depression, anxiety, substance use, PTSD, academic issues, and life transition and planning. I also enjoy working with motivated parents to explore healthy parenting tools and techniques that enable deep connection and emotional wellness with their children.

All humans strive for connection. We are social creatures with an inherent drive to bond. For me, counseling is about the therapeutic relationship. With a humanistic and holistic perspective, I view each client as a whole person within their own unique context. Empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness are the cornerstones of my practice. Also, humor is vital to healing, so there is always room for laughter in our sessions. I will create and hold a safe space for you to explore, learn, and make positive changes in your life.

Life isn't easy. No matter what you are facing, you don't have to do it alone. Anyone and everyone can benefit from having someone who will listen to them, bring out their strengths, and work through the obstacles that life throws at you. I am here to help you in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. My style is laid-back and strengths focused and always with an empathetic ear.

Everyone has struggles and sometimes we get stuck. I specialize in helping people get unstuck! We will work together to create positive change in your life by getting to the root of your issues and resolving the source of your pain. My role is to encourage and guide you through the process of growth and healing. I will help you embrace your self-worth, build meaningful connections with others, and learn safe coping skills. I believe you can find answers within yourself as you discover your full potential. I want to help you reach your goals and get what you need. I will meet you where you are and walk with you every step of the way.
