Hi! I'm so glad you're here! :) I know how overwhelming and intimidating it can be to look for help. A safe place and a non-judgmental/unbiased ear are highly coveted and sought after in today's society. Therapy can address infinite issues and struggles that arise in daily life. I know it worked for me-- let it work for you!
I graduated from Northwestern University and have worked with individuals of all backgrounds and ages. I live in Ohio and am licensed in Ohio, Arizona and Virginia.
My approach is direct, compassionate, culturally aware, and deeply grounded in trauma-informed care. I help clients understand not just what they are feeling, but why their mind and body respond the way they do. A lot of people come to therapy feeling exhausted from surviving, overthinking, masking, people pleasing, or functioning on autopilot. Together, we work on building emotional safety, nervous system regulation, healthier relationships, self-awareness, and practical tools that actually work in real life.
I specialize in trauma, anxiety, stress management, emotional regulation, relationship dynamics, self-esteem, life transitions, and helping high-capacity individuals who are successful externally but overwhelmed internally. My work integrates evidence-based practices, somatic awareness, attachment-focused interventions, and practical strategies that support both emotional wellness and everyday functioning.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Colonial Heights
Searching for therapists in Colonial Heights starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Many people look for care related to anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for specific life stages. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, session structure, and the concerns they often work with.
Colonial Heights is a smaller city, so nearby in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger Virginia markets. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Virginia. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy costs can add up without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer in-person or virtual care. You can review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
