Life can pull us in a hundred different directions, and sometimes it takes slowing down, getting real, and having honest conversations to find our way forward. My approach is straightforward and commpassionate - no judgment, no fluff. I meet you where you are, walk beside you through the challenges, and help you rediscover your strength, clarity, and purpose.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy through secure telehealth appointments.
I have over 18 years of nursing experience, including 8 years in forensic psychiatry, nursing leadership, and education. These experiences have given me a strong understanding of mental illness across different settings and have shaped my patient-centered approach to care.
I became a social worker because I believe no one should have to face life's hardest moments alone. As a Behavioral Health Therapist, I have supported others through illness, loss, caregiving, family change, and some of life's most difficult seasons.
Along the way, I've also volunteered my time into local community organizations throughout the years.
All of this has taught me something simple: people don't need to be fixed. They need to be heard, understood, and given the tools and support to heal. That belief is at the heart of how I practice.
I truly believe each person has the power to overcome any challenge they face but sometimes, we need a little guidance. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, it is my goal to help each person achieve their goals. I have over 10 years of experience working with many populations and I am trained in EMDR therapy .
In therapy with me you will find that I emphasize acceptance of emotions, reframing negative thinking, and offering self-grace. I try to help you dig deeper to get the root issue that is causing you to be different than the way you want to be.
We are talking about you and your life, things that matter so I am open and non-judging, relaxed, and very real.
Accepting Sentra Health Plan Insurance and Peak Health
I've spent my career in community mental health, working with adults, teens, couples, and families navigating real, everyday challenges - relationship stress, family conflict, financial pressure, and anxiety. I know that asking for help isn't easy, and I don't take that lightly. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Virginia, and I offer telehealth sessions so you can get support from anywhere in the state - no commute, no waiting rooms. I accept most major insurance plans including Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, Kaiser, Carelon, and CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, so cost is rarely a reason to put this off.
I use a variety of therapy models based on our assessment of your needs along with your goals. I am here to help guide you through your journey and provide tools and education to improve your quality of life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Abingdon
Searching for therapists in Abingdon starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want help with. Therapists may support concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and training match your needs. A bio may mention approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.
In a smaller city like Abingdon, local in-person options may be more limited than in larger Virginia markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Virginia. Consider practical details like appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before you book can help you compare communication style, session structure, and what each therapist focuses on in care.
Therapy in Abingdon can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, check your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
