Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Abingdon, VA

It is a gift to have people trust me with their vulnerability, emotions, and authentic self, and see them make lasting changes in their life. People come to therapy because they want something to change and want to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the world around them. Every person is different. It is important therapy adjust to individual needs.

It takes strength, courage, and determination to seek help. I love what I do! I have years of therapy experience with trauma/abuse, depression and mood concerns, anxiety, substance issues, relationship/family issues, grief, self-esteem, men's issues, gender and sexuality, identity, religion, career issues, and more. I'm a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and Certified Group Psychotherapist (CGP). Licensed psychologist in North Carolina and Virginia. PsyPact certified. I have extensive experience with adults 18 - 60, and have specialized experience with university students.

For over 17 years I have been working with individuals and couples who want more out of their lives and relationships, especially when things feel stuck, overwhelming, or unclear. In our sessions, you’ll find a space where honesty is respected, pain is allowed, and practical steps are made collaboratively to help you towards change at a pace that feels natural for you.

I provide compassionate, confidential psychiatric care designed to help you feel supported and understood. Each treatment plan is personalized, using evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs and goals. My goal is to create a safe, judgment-free space where we can work together to manage challenges such as anxiety, depression, mood changes, or sleep issues. Appointments are available virtually for your convenience.

I help ambitious adults who feel plateaued or stuck in their work, relationships, healing or personal growth. On the surface life may look solid, yet anxiety lingers, relationships feel strained, or old patterns keep showing up when they try to move forward in their work, relationships, or personal growth. You understand yourself intellectually, but the deeper patterns still feel outside your control. Often the coping strategies that once propelled you forward are now the very things holding you back. You may even know exactly what needs to change, yet still find yourself repeating the same reactions when pressure rises.

I am a client-centered therapist who works with individuals navigating stress, life transitions, and emotional challenges, using a collaborative and supportive approach to foster growth and resilience.
