Therapists in Martinsville, VA

“I believe that we often must forgive ourselves before we are able to move forward.” Counseling is a safe place to process feelings of anger, anxiety, disappointment, shame, and so many others. I have a special interest in helping victims of trauma and abuse, as well as people struggling with substance abuse. I work with individuals to help them overcome obstacles and heal from the pain of the past, including substance abuse groups.

Greetings! Do you often feel weighted down by feelings of anxiety? Do you often experience long periods of sadness and have difficulty engaging in daily activities and tasks?

I believe counseling should be individualized to each person that I work with. Everyone is different and their healing process will be different as well. Each person has their unique world, and I hope that you let me explore the world you live in. I will use my years of experience working with diverse people and issues to help you to grow. I do this by providing a safe space to explore your identity, life experiences and challenges. I have assisted people in dealing with stress, anxiety, OCD, cultural issues, depression, life transitions, sexuality and gender, grief, ADHD, and relationship issues (to name just a few).

My goal is to learn about my clients and their needs by listening to what is most important to them and instilling hope. I have experience working with mothers of young children who need support in managing behaviors, sensory and developmental needs of their child. Building a warm and compassionate relationship is key in therapy in my view. Helping my clients enhance their relationships by working through past trauma and past negative relationships is one of my key goals. I enjoy working with teens and other adults who are trying to find their way in the world of relationships, work, family and changing communities.

Counseling can be a great opportunity to feel heard, tell your story, and work on your issues. We often seek help when we feel overwhelmed, worried, and upset, which can feel unsettling to share. I seek to help ease the process of telling your story and finding healing.

The counseling process is an opportunity for people to explore who they are, where they have been, where they want to go, and who they want to become. We often start a counseling journey because we are experiencing emotional pain. My hope is that I can join with you on your healing journey, and that you come to see the journey as a gift. A gift of becoming authentically and transparently you. A gift of healthier, stronger relationships. A gift for living your best life.

I have joined Dr. Margaret Bowen's “Restoration is a Journey” practice. Working with me will therefore make available to you a physician and two psychiatric nurse practitioners.

You are not required to see the physician and psychiatric nurse practitioners to work with me.

ANOTHER ANXIETY EPISODE? I am here for you; I will help you with your daily struggles of anxiety symptoms. I know that you are tired of living in a state of panic, but you don't know how to change things or how to make the FEAR go away. Staying home in your SAFE ZONE rather than going out in public is your way to avoid these controlling symptoms of feeling like you are having a heart attack, fear of dying, feeling like you can't breathe, palms are sweaty, fear of being negatively judged, fear that people think that you are stupid, are fearful that you are going to do something "stupid looking," or fear that you are going crazy.

Whether you are struggling with addiction or relapse, anxiety or depression, stress, self-image, family issues, past or present traumas, you are not alone. No one should suffer in silence. Acknowledging there is a problem and seeking help is half the battle.

If only life came with a manual, then we wouldn’t need “leaders” to guide us, educate us, motivate us, and encourage us. Life would be perfect with blue skies and no worries. Well unfortunately it doesn’t and sometimes our worlds get cloudy, and we need a extra level of support to guide us through this journey of life. Sometimes change can be uncomfortable especially when you are vulnerable, but knowing that you need help is the first step to the healing process (So great job and kudos to you).

I have a passion for working with children and families working through difficult circumstances including foster care, grief and loss, gender and sexual identity issues, past abuse, depression, and anxiety. I also have many years of experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities and traumatic brain injuries and am able to adapt my approach to suit the needs of each individual.

For the last 10 years, I have been working to help people like you experience positive change and navigate difficult times in their lives with support, guidance, and encouragement. My experience in community mental health is diverse, working with children, youth, and adults. I value personal connection, compassion, and honesty in therapeutic work and appreciate the opportunity to offer direction which brings awareness and clarity during therapy. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I earned my Bachelor's Degree from Ferrum College and hold a Master's Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University.

I believe therapy can benefit everyone, and is not just for when something is "wrong." Therapy is a place to work through issues, but is also a place to become the best version of yourself. I hope that after therapy with me, clients feel motivated and empowered to move forward and do their best at whatever challenges arise.

It’s 4:00 AM, and everyone in the house is asleep but you. Your heart is pounding, your thoughts are racing, and all you want to do is break down and cry. But you can’t; you have to hold it together. No one can know what you’re going through. Everyone thinks you have it all under control and is counting on you. The thought of letting them down is too much to bear. So you plaster on a smile, put one foot in front of the other, and slog through another day. But it’s getting harder and harder to pretend. Secretly you wonder how long you can go on until it falls apart. The sadness is overwhelming, and it's draining the life out of you.
