Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Colonial Heights, VA

Hi, I’m Jody. I have a master’s degree in clinical social work and am a licensed clinical social worker. I’ve been working as a clinician for the past 8 years in a community outpatient mental health agency.

I specialize in substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

I have a background in women’s mental health including relationships and parenting.

As a Gen-X therapist, I am often described as highly relatable. Not too old, not too young...just right. I enjoy working with persons of all ages, all stages, all walks of life. I am a mother, sister, daughter, aunt, friend. I am a lifelong learner. I am a lover of art, nature, animals, travel, cooking, laughter and optimism. I have a deep love and respect for my profession and feel honored and so very lucky to be able to do this precious work!

Hi there! I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 9 years of experience in a variety of settings. I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing perinatal mental health concerns, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, and relationship challenges that often arise during major life transitions. I prioritize creating a space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I communicate clearly and directly while offering a steady, compassionate presence that invites reflection and growth.

With 26 years of clinical experience as a licensed therapist in DC and Virginia, I support individuals navigating life’s complexities—from stress, trauma, and grief to fertility concerns, family dynamics, LGBTQIA+ experiences, anxiety, depression, and moments of transition.

As a proud Howard University graduate, my work is grounded in cultural humility, social justice, and a belief that mental health is inseparable from history, community, and lived experience. Howard taught me to see clients not just through symptoms, but as whole people shaped by family, identity, policy, and perseverance.

This perspective fuels my commitment to therapy as both a healing space and a form of liberation. My practice is anchored in integrity, guided by compassion, and centered on the dignity and humanity of every person I serve.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Florida Gulf Coast University and a Master's degree in Social Work from University of South Carolina. I work with individuals with a variety of needs including anxiety, depression, and grief/loss (including disenfranchised grief). I recently got certified in Perinatal Mental Health and help pregnant and postpartum parents with their newest life change.
