I'm a licensed clinical social worker who works with individuals navigating trauma, neurodivergence, substance use, relationship and marital challenges, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and LGBTQ+ populations. I use a variety of approaches including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Strengths-Based interventions, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. Therapy is always tailored to meet your unique needs and goals.
I provide a thoughtful, intentional space for clients to explore, heal, and grow. My approach blends evidence-based practices with a deep respect for each client’s story, helping them move toward clarity, emotional balance, and a more aligned way of living.
Life can be hard and sometimes overwhelming, but there is light, even if you can’t see it right now. You don’t have to carry everything alone. With support, healing and growth are possible. You deserve a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, but I’m here to walk alongside you. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with over 10 years of experience in the helping profession, including clinical mental health work since 2020. I earned my Master of Science in Education in Clinical Mental Health and School Counseling from Old Dominion University. I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and veterans ages 11 to 40 supporting concerns such as life transitions, relationships, anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, self-esteem, and personal growth. I focus on building a genuine connection and creating a safe, welcoming space where you can be yourself. I value cultural humility and honor your unique experiences and strengths, meeting you where you are while supporting your growth. I believe healing happens in supportive relationships. Whether you’re facing challenges, processing the past, or moving into a new chapter, I’m here to support you. There is hope, and together we can help you move forward. Outside of counseling, I enjoy singing, painting, music, travel, and exploring different cultures, which help keep me grounded and inspired.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Norfolk
Finding LGBTQIA therapists in Norfolk starts with looking for identity-affirming care. The right therapist should have experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people with concerns such as identity, relationships, family dynamics, anxiety, depression, or stress related to discrimination. As you compare therapists, look for signs of relevant training or experience, such as affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or clear language about working with LGBTQIA+ communities.
Norfolk has a meaningful mental health care community, but the number of therapists who focus on LGBTQIA+ care may vary by schedule, location, and specialty. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond the closest office while still helping you find care that fits your needs. As you narrow your search, review whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers appointment times that work for you, and explicitly mentions LGBTQIA+ populations in their bio. Profiles can also help you understand communication style, therapy approach, and whether a free phone consultation is available.
Therapy in Norfolk can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+ therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated costs before booking, and compare therapists based on specialty, availability, and fit. You can browse profiles, check insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
