I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 23 years of clinical experience and an approved supervisor to counseling residents. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Mental Health Psychology in 2002 and a Master’s degree in Community/Clinical Psychology from Norfolk State University in 2005. Before going into private practice, I spent several years working in community services supporting client mental health journeys. I currently work with adults, families, and adolescents. My specialty includes treating culturally diverse patients, depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions/adjustment, sexual abuse, anger management, and serious mental illness.
In supporting a new client, we will begin at the client's point of readiness. We will address the client's mental health needs/symptoms with CBT, mindfulness certifications/other required clinical skills.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Charlottesville, VA
Finding addiction therapists in Charlottesville starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, drug use, substance use concerns, compulsive behaviors, and co-occurring concerns like anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare therapists, look for training or listed specialties that match what you want to address. Some therapists use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction frameworks. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team.
In a smaller city like Charlottesville, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Virginia markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you choose a therapist licensed in Virginia. As you narrow your options, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how they talk about addiction care, including whether their approach feels respectful, non-judgmental, and aligned with your goals.
Therapy in Charlottesville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find addiction therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and are accepting new patients. You can review bios, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose an in-person or virtual appointment when you’re ready.
