Women's Issues Therapists in Richmond, VA

Thinking about making a change can be difficult, frightening or even exciting. I'm so glad you've decided to seek out someone to help you in this process. As a therapist I believe in working collaboratively with you to create the changes you want in your life. Many people who seek out therapy have found ways of coping that worked for a while and no longer work for them and may even be harmful. If you think you are ready to change something in your life, please call or contact me for an appointment.

I work with people who are struggling with a range of problems and wish to better understand their thoughts, feelings and behavior. I also work with people who are at a crossroads and want help thinking about the impact of a significant change on self and others. I am experienced working with people from various ethnic and cultural backgrounds as well as LGBTQ individuals and couples. I'm compassionate and non judgmental and tailor my work to each patient's needs. I received my PhD from Yale University and have worked in community clinics, hospitals and extensively with UVA students and faculty.

All the while you wish you could bounce back to your old self, someone who could power through the stresses of daily life without skipping a beat. I'm here to tell you it's not too late. Together we will envision the life you want, create a plan to get you there, and work through the roadblocks. If you're feeling overwhelmed and under pressure, let's talk.

Therapy is a place where we are allowed to be raw, imperfect, vulnerable humans in a society that expects us to be flawlessly composed. I focus my practice on personal power and can provide you with tools to work on whatever is causing your stress, whether that's in the present, past, or future. My goal in counseling is to be a source of unconditional support while we step back and explore the ways in which social forces impact(ed) the ways you understand yourself and the world. I firmly believe knowing oneself as a whole person is a crucial step to substantial and sustainable change and know we can find solutions to help you grow.
