Psychologist

Virtual • Virginia


I help people heal from trauma, with a special focus on sexual trauma, and I’ve been honored to support a wide range of individuals — including women, men, military veterans, and LGBTQIA clients — as they work through their experiences and take meaningful steps toward healing. I also enjoy helping people work through challenging life transitions (e.g., parenthood, divorce, etc.) and identity-specific concerns (e.g., men's issues, women's issues, gender identity exploration). In addition to individual therapy, I also provide relationship therapy for monogamous, non-monogamous, and open relationships as well as psychological assessment (e.g., ADHD, dementia, learning disorder, mental health) for adults.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Norfolk, VA

Searching for postpartum therapists in Norfolk starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Postpartum concerns can include depression, anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with perinatal mental health, postpartum support, or related specialties. A certification like PMH-C can also signal focused training in care during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

In Norfolk, the right fit may depend on more than specialty. Consider whether in-person therapy in Norfolk, VA fits your schedule, or whether virtual sessions make care easier to access during infant care, physical recovery, or changing routines. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their approach, communication style, and experience with postpartum support in Virginia before you book.

Therapy in Norfolk can be a significant investment without insurance, which makes in-network coverage an important part of the search. Using insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. You can compare postpartum therapists in Norfolk, review detailed profiles, confirm insurance fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
