ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Newport News, VA

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who provides a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space for adults who are navigating life’s challenges. My approach is collaborative and focused on helping clients feel heard, understood, and empowered as they work toward meaningful change. I also offer Christian counseling in a way that supports both emotional healing and spiritual growth.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and National Board Certified Counselor (NBCC), who works with children, adolescents, and adults to navigate life’s challenges in a supportive and meaningful way. I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself and exploring what’s on your mind.

I have experience helping clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma, anger, ADHD, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for personal growth, I work collaboratively with you to better understand your experiences and build tools for lasting change.

Deciding on a therapist can be a daunting experience; I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience. I provide psychotherapy services via video and phone sessions. I have always known there was a need for high-quality mental health providers. Therefore, I focus my clinical practice on providing high-quality services and evidence-based interventions to my clients. I have treated many clients with a variety of diagnoses including: addiction, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD and attention deficit disorder.

I have a strong passion to help people, and truly believe in each individual’s strengths and abilities. Some of the treatment modalities used are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a Strengths-Based approach in an unbiased and non judgmental manner. Thus allowing me to create the holding space my clients need.

I have realized that when we understand our strengths and have developed them we are able to improve and or have a better quality of life. Sometimes we do not understand that a crisis can affect many different areas in our life and recognizing and acknowledging it is the first step in our journey to healing.

I am Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) trained in medication management and individual therapy. I approach my work caring about the whole person and not simply treating diagnoses. I am aided by knowledge gained from my education: Bachelor's of Science in Sociology, Bachelor's of Science in Nursing, and Master's of Science in Nursing. I also draw from my 11 year career as a registered nurse in intensive care units and my 3 years as a Nurse Practitioner, working at an outpatient clinic as well as an inpatient crisis unit.
