I provide evidence-based mental health care, including medication management, lifestyle modifications, and other therapeutic approaches.
My passion for mental health care was sparked when I volunteered at a crisis hotline. I later earned a master's degree in nursing from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Since then, I have gained valuable experience in community and hospital settings.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Richmond, VA
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Richmond starts with care that affirms your identity and matches your needs. Look for therapists who name experience with LGBTQIA+ people, gender-diverse clients, affirmative therapy, WPATH training, or related care in their profiles. You may also want support for concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship stress, trauma, identity exploration, or family conflict. A therapist’s listed specialties, training, and approach can help you decide whether their experience fits what you want from care.
Richmond has a range of therapists, but LGBTQIA+-affirming care may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual appointments can expand your options if you want to consider therapists beyond nearby offices or need more flexible availability. As you compare therapists, look at whether they are accepting new clients, offer free phone consultations, and list experience with LGBTQIA+ populations. Reading bios can also show how a therapist describes their style, communication, and work with clients who share parts of your identity or lived experience.
Therapy in Richmond can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and use your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage for your specific plan and location. This makes it easier to compare fit, cost, and availability in one place.
