Therapists in Virginia Beach City County, VA
Some experiences remain with us even after we understand them intellectually. They may show up as disconnection from yourself or your body, difficulty accessing memories or emotions, conflicting internal voices or messages, or reactions that feel confusing or overwhelming. You may have spent years in therapy and still feel that something important has not been reached. I work with adults experiencing trauma, complex PTSD, dissociation, and concerns related to identity, attachment, and emotional regulation.

I believe individuals have the answers they need within themselves; they just need assistance finding those answers. I understand how hard it is to decide to attend counseling and then actually make the call. It is a vulnerable and healthy first step. Together we will identify what is and is not working for you and develop tools that increase your well-being.

The people I work with have had a variety of negative life experiences with ONE thing in common. It still bothers them days, months or even years since it happened. I help people who feel like "I should be over this by now" and are tired of feeling overwhelmed by the images, feelings and sensations that come up unexpectedly day or night. The people I work with often say "I just want to stop thinking about it". They often feel shame because they feel something is wrong with them because they can't "get over it".

My ideal client is someone who is seeking clarity, wellness, and growth in the face of life’s challenges. They may be navigating issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or feelings of being stuck or overwhelmed. While their struggles may vary, what unites them is a desire for change and an openness to exploring their world to achieve greater wellness.

My ideal client is someone who has long sensed that their inner experience differs from what others consider typical. They may struggle with attention, organization, or emotional regulation, or feel persistently anxious, withdrawn, or misunderstood. Many are exploring whether ADHD or autism may better explain lifelong patterns of difficulty, while others are seeking support for co-occurring anxiety or depression that has become increasingly difficult to manage. Some are pursuing formal evaluation to better understand how their minds work and to gain access to meaningful support, accommodations, or resources.

I specialize in working with individuals who are looking for guidance, understanding, objectivity, and hopeful inspiration. I take an individualized therapeutic approach to each clients' needs after first assessing and determining the most helpful treatment. I prefer to determine a person's positive qualities and assist them in building upon those qualities to reach their emotional and life goals.

My specialty includes working with adult men who are navigating the complexities of modern life. This often includes addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts and behaviors, relationship difficulties, and substance abuse. Men often experience overwhelming stress when trying to keep up with changing societal expectations, and what are often unrealistic expectations we place on ourselves. But, we can do better and more for ourselves, finding happiness and joy in life (again, or for the first time), while challenging ourselves to grow as individuals, partners, and/or parents.

Hello! I work with those seeking confidential and discreet support in working through personal challenges and stressors impacting their everyday lives. Many individuals struggle with depression and anxiety, trauma, problems in relationships, work-related conflicts, or simply put, that feeling that something "just isn't right." Difficult feelings can be hard, however, also a gateway for personal growth. You do not have to go through this alone. My goal is to help you gain awareness and explore difficult thoughts, feelings, and past experiences which prevent you from feeling like your best self, and improve your relationships.
