Hi, I’m Brittany, a therapist in Virginia. I work with women, men, teens, moms, and couples who are carrying a lot and could use someone in their corner. People come to me feeling anxious, worn down, stuck in a hard season, overwhelmed by early motherhood, or struggling to connect with the person they love.

Therapy with me feels like a real conversation. I’m warm, honest, and judgment-free, and I’ll gently hold you to the goals you set — with a little humor along the way, because healing doesn’t have to be heavy all the time. You won’t just leave with a space to vent. You’ll leave with practical ways to quiet the noise in your head, calm your body when everything feels like too much, set boundaries that actually hold, and talk through what’s hard instead of swallowing it.

I have specialized training in pregnancy and postpartum mental health, and a deep love for supporting moms through everything that comes with it — the exhaustion, the guilt, the grief, and the question of who you are now. I’m also certified in a relationship program for couples that helps you understand each other’s patterns, communicate without it turning into a fight, and rebuild trust — whether you’re preparing for marriage or working through a rough stretch.

And I’m a military spouse, so I know the rhythm of deployments, moves, and coming home from the inside. Military members and families will find someone here who gets it without needing it explained.

Wherever you’re starting from, you deserve to feel seen. I’d be honored to walk alongside you toward growth, healing, and thriving.

Hi there!

My name is Lorraine and I have over 20 years experience providing mental health services. I began my career in the school setting and have recently spread my wings into private practice. My approach is warm, compassionate, practical, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy should feel like a safe place where you can be your authentic self, not a place where you have to have everything figured out before you walk through the door. Together, we can explore what is happening beneath the surface, identify patterns that may be getting in your way, and develop strategies that actually fit your life.
