Teletherapy for Richmond, VA

Do you feel like you’re running yourself ragged trying to make everyone else happy? Like you don’t know who you are outside of others’ expectations? I work with people who are struggling with identity in different ways. Some feel like their identity was lost to abuse or to a bigger personality in the house. Others are recovering from losing who they are because of a traumatic experience that seemed to change them forever. Still others do not feel like their true identity is within the body they were born in.

With over 25 years experience as a therapist, I understand the importance of finding a welcoming space for therapy. Often people cope with stress in ways that can cause long-term problems. Whether you struggle with instability in your relationships, have mood swings, or addiction issues, therapy can help you learn more effective ways of coping, allowing you to be more effective and reduce suffering in your life. I specialize in treating individuals with various mental health concerns, including borderline personality disorder (BPD), addiction, LGBTQIA+ related issues, depression, OCT, trauma, and/or anxiety.

Hello and welcome! If you're looking for a therapist for yourself or your child, I can help. Although many people are able to express exactly what is causing them stress (or why), it's also common to struggle with putting it into words. You might feel anxious or depressed more days than not. Clients who seek me out often experience overwhelming emotions but might also feel low and unmotivated, or even detached. If you're a parent, you might be concerned about your child but feel unsure how to help them. I'd like to partner with you on how to make things better for you!

Since youth, I wondered about human behavior and why people do what they do. To explore this interest further I took a class in comparative behavior and loved it. Since then I looked for opportunities to learn more about people, their actions, and their feelings while trying to find ways to help them improve their lives and feel better. I am lucky enough to be trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I used this advanced therapy process in California at the Anne Sippi Clinics in the service of those suffering severe adult psychopathology (mental health issues) early on in his career.
