I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.

I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.

I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.

Hi, I'm Josh. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia with over 20 years of experience working with individuals diagnosed with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, and more than a decade supporting individuals in acute crisis situations. I earned my Bachelor's in Sociology from Virginia Tech, a Master’s in Social Work from Radford University, and a second Master’s in Aging and Health from Georgetown University.

Clients should know that I bring a deep commitment to meeting people where they are—emotionally, mentally, and situationally. I’ve worked in long-term care, acute crisis settings, and served as the director of a regional crisis response team. No matter the setting, I’m dedicated to treating people with respect, dignity, and compassion. I'm here to provide a sound board and assist in making meaningful changes for those I provide services for including those managing depression, anxiety, difficult relationships, or just need someone to talk to about everyday life issues we all experience. I also have a special passion for working with the aging population, ensuring their voices are heard and their needs honored.

Therapist

I believe therapy should be a space where you can be yourself without fear of judgment. My goal is to create an environment where you feel comfortable being honest about what you are experiencing, while also feeling supported and challenged to grow. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, emotional regulation difficulties, stress, and other challenges. I take a strengths-based approach and believe that you already possess many of the tools needed for change sometimes we just have to uncover them, strengthen them, and learn how to use them differently. I strive to make therapy relatable, meaningful, and practical so that what we discuss in session can make a difference in your everyday life.
