Therapists in Virginia Beach City County, VA
“Most human suffering is related to love and loss and the job of therapists is to help people acknowledge, experience, and bear the reality of life- with all its pleasures and heartbreak.” -Bessel Van Der Kolk, M.D. As a LCSW , I strive to create an open, honest, and compassionate space for each individual I meet. I believe in meeting clients where they are at while they explore their life experiences and make connections to find a deeper understanding of themselves. I have worked with many clients who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, and other mental health disorders.

I help the Superwoman who is ready to retire her cape. I help the high achieving type, who's poised and polished on the outside, but suffers from Imposter Syndrome on the inside. I help the wellness oriented woman with smiling depression and high functioning anxiety- the one who does yoga, diffuses oil, and reads self-help resources to improve her life. I help the woman in the maintenance phase of her healing who already has several coping resources and an adequate support system. I help the woman in need of a brief respite before she continues on with her wellness journey.

Does it seem like, no matter how much you try to get ahead in life, it never seems enough? Has life become a dull, task list of “things” you need to accomplish? Do you feel like you need to make changes in your life, but don’t know what direction to go? I’ve been there many times and made decisions that felt like they didn’t help, or worse, made things harder. As someone who has benefited from my own therapy, I know how crucial it is having an empathetic and caring person to walk with you as you contemplate the myriad choices to solving problems.
