Anthem HealthKeepers Therapists in Staunton, VA
Life can feel overwhelming sometimes, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. I believe therapy is a space where you can pause, breathe, and rediscover your sense of self. My role isn’t to provide all the answers, but to walk alongside you as you explore the questions that matter most. I see counseling as a way to tap into the strengths and resources you already carry within you. Together, we’ll look at the patterns shaping your life, identify what no longer serves you, and create new ways of coping that feel aligned and sustainable.

In addition to psychodynamic psychotherapy, I also provide psychiatric medication management if needed, diagnostic second opinions, and consultations.

Feeling stuck and not knowing which way to turn? Feeling overwhelmed and not sure how to ask for help? Not sure what to try next? I have been there. Unsure, overwhelmed, and afraid of what I might discover if I looked inside. That is where I began my own journey back in 1987. That is how I know that there is hope. It is unfortunate, that we don’t get to pick our parents or early care givers. For many of us, the experiences from early childhood, shape who we are today and how we interact with the world around us. These experiences are powerful influences on how we cope with life stress and even the partners we chose in life.
