I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 23 years of clinical experience and an approved supervisor to counseling residents. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Mental Health Psychology in 2002 and a Master’s degree in Community/Clinical Psychology from Norfolk State University in 2005. Before going into private practice, I spent several years working in community services supporting client mental health journeys. I currently work with adults, families, and adolescents. My specialty includes treating culturally diverse patients, depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions/adjustment, sexual abuse, anger management, and serious mental illness.
In supporting a new client, we will begin at the client's point of readiness. We will address the client's mental health needs/symptoms with CBT, mindfulness certifications/other required clinical skills.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Norfolk
Finding addiction therapists in Norfolk starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, compulsive behaviors, relapse prevention, and concerns that happen alongside addiction, like anxiety, depression, or trauma. Look for a therapist whose profile lists experience with addiction and approaches such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, or coordination with medication-assisted care. Some people also work with a psychiatrist as part of their care team.
Norfolk has a range of therapy options, from local offices near downtown and Ghent to virtual appointments across Virginia. In a mid-size market, it can help to compare both in-person and virtual care so your options reflect your schedule, location, and preferences. As you narrow your search, look at appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand how they describe their approach to addiction care, including whether they use a nonjudgmental, harm reduction-informed framework.
Therapy in Norfolk can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find addiction therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you schedule directly when you’re ready. This makes it easier to compare therapists, review their bios, and find someone who matches your needs and accepts your plan.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
