Virtual • Virginia


I’m a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 16 years of experience in healthcare and a deep passion for providing compassionate, individualized mental health care.

I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported. My approach is patient-centered and collaborative, with treatment plans tailored to your unique needs, goals, and circumstances.

Through Telehealth, I provide evaluation and treatment for a wide range of mental health concerns, including ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, anger concerns, intermittent explosive disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, binge-eating disorders, body dysmorphia, PTSD, unresolved trauma, family conflicts, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders. I proudly provide an LGBTQ+ affirming and inclusive space for all patients.

I also believe mental health care works best when providers work together. When appropriate, I collaborate with therapists, primary care providers, and other healthcare professionals to help create comprehensive, practical, and effective treatment plans.

My goal is simple: to meet you where you are and support you in getting to where you want to be. Your story matters, your goals matter, and you deserve care that meets you with compassion—not judgment.

Hi, I'm Josh. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia with over 20 years of experience working with individuals diagnosed with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, and more than a decade supporting individuals in acute crisis situations. I earned my Bachelor's in Sociology from Virginia Tech, a Master’s in Social Work from Radford University, and a second Master’s in Aging and Health from Georgetown University.

Clients should know that I bring a deep commitment to meeting people where they are—emotionally, mentally, and situationally. I’ve worked in long-term care, acute crisis settings, and served as the director of a regional crisis response team. No matter the setting, I’m dedicated to treating people with respect, dignity, and compassion. I'm here to provide a sound board and assist in making meaningful changes for those I provide services for including those managing depression, anxiety, difficult relationships, or just need someone to talk to about everyday life issues we all experience. I also have a special passion for working with the aging population, ensuring their voices are heard and their needs honored.

Hello. My name is Adam and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have worked with adolescents, young adults, adults, families, and athletes on a variety of clinical issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, conflict resolution, relationships, sports counseling, and trauma. I believe we are all just one small adjustment away from the life we want. With the use of psychotherapy, we can modify behaviors, our mindset, and implement healthy habits to find balance while continuing to grow. No time like the present, so let's get started!

Something brought you here. That instinct is worth listening to. I’m Jen, a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of experience helping teens and adults through stress, anxiety, and those “where do I go from here?” moments. Basically, I help people with the sticky, messy parts of being human. (Spoiler: everyone has them.) I have a soft spot for young adults figuring out their next chapter, parents running on empty, and educators who hold space for others all day and have nothing left for themselves. I also work with job stress, burnout, identity questions, relationship changes, and that quiet feeling that something needs to shift. My style is warm, honest, and grounded. I’ll meet you with empathy, and I’ll also nudge you a bit. Feeling understood is great. Feeling understood and moving forward is better. We’ll talk openly, laugh or cry as needed (sometimes both in the same session), and find practical ways to untangle old patterns. I earned my master’s in School and Mental Health Counseling from the University of Pennsylvania, and I’m a certified K-12 school counselor. All sessions are online for folks in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Virginia, so you can come as you are. Sweatpants welcome. If you’re ready to talk, reach out. I’d love to hear what brought you here.

Hi there—I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regent University. I work with adults facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, past trauma, relationship struggles, and substance use. My style is warm, supportive, and down-to-earth. I use tools from CBT, DBT, and other evidence-based approaches, but most importantly, I meet you where you are—no pressure, no judgment.

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real, human connection. You don’t have to be in crisis to reach out, and you don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just trying to understand yourself better, I’m here to help you explore what’s going on and find new ways to cope and move forward.

On a personal note, I know what it’s like to go through hard seasons and come out the other side. That lived experience helps me show up with empathy and honesty. If you're looking for someone who will listen without judgment and walk with you as you work toward real, lasting change—I'm here.
