Do you feel unsettled or that you're not where you want to be in life? Maybe you’re wondering if you’ll ever be a “good enough” partner, wife, mother, friend, or just good enough, in general. Or you’re faced with an important life decision like marriage, a new job, or whether or not to have a baby. You can’t really put your finger on why these decisions are so hard for you and that keeps you stuck and feeling anxious all the time. You have a hard time trusting your gut or listening to that quiet voice inside you that’s telling you something’s not right.


Thoughts and feelings like these can be so upsetting. And yet they are very common among women. That’s where I come in. I work with women just like you who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and perinatal issues such as postpartum depression. I offer a safe, non judgmental space to explore these feelings and get relief.


Learn ways of managing difficult thoughts and feelings and achieve the life you want for yourself. Sessions are exclusively online. You can receive the help in the privacy and comfort of a setting of your choosing. Online counseling is great for caregivers, busy professionals, those with health issues, or anyone who wants the flexibility telehealth offers.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience in mental health and substance misuse services. I also have a postgraduate Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, and am passionate about helping folks with post-psychedelic integration. Our therapeutic partnership begins with the understanding that you are a whole person — not a diagnosis, a symptom, or a set of circumstances. Together, we will explore how the intersections of identity, lived experience, trauma, mental health, and substance use shape your inner world and outer life across biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Chesapeake

Searching for therapists in Chesapeake starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may be the right fit. People often look for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, trauma, or work stress. As you compare Chesapeake therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.

Chesapeake offers a range of therapy options across neighborhoods like Greenbrier, Great Bridge, and Battlefield, with access to both in-person and virtual appointments. If you prefer meeting in an office, location and drive time may matter. If your schedule changes often, virtual sessions can make it easier to find a therapist with availability that fits your week. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers flexible scheduling, provides a free phone consultation, and describes a communication style that feels aligned with what you want from care.

Therapy in Chesapeake 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 you book. Headway helps you compare therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, read detailed bios, and book directly. You can browse Chesapeake counseling options, review therapist profiles, and choose a time when you’re ready.
