I offer in-person and virtual sessions Tuesday-Friday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and will work with you to find a time that fits your schedule.
Do you feel like you're holding everything together for everyone else—but inside, you're overwhelmed, exhausted, or running on empty?
I work with teens and adults who are navigating anxiety, burnout, depression, and the lasting effects of difficult or overwhelming experiences. Many of my clients are used to being the “strong one”—showing up for others while quietly struggling themselves—and are ready for a space where they can finally slow down, process what they’ve been carrying, and focus on themselves.

Accepting in-person clients in Mathews County, VA.
Many people seek therapy after experiencing trauma but find that “trauma-informed” care alone does not resolve their symptoms. Effective trauma treatment requires structured, evidence-based approaches delivered by a clinician with specialized training. My sole focus is on the assessment and treatment of trauma-related conditions, including C-PTSD, dissociation, personality disorders, substance abuse, and stress-based medical conditions. I also have a particular interest in working with parents who want to break generational cycles, including those involved in the child welfare system.

What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.
When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.
How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
