I work with adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions and grief. Many of my clients feel stuck or unsure how to move forward, whether that involves improving focus and follow-through, coping with loss, or navigating changes in mood and life circumstances.
You may be overwhelmed, struggling to stay focused, or going through a difficult change in your life that makes you feel stressed out.
With over 30 years of experience in healthcare as both a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Nurse, I bring a practical understanding of how physical, emotional, and mental health are connected, especially for adults managing ADHD, focus challenges, and overwhelm.
I work from the lens of wellness for the whole person, incorporating mindfulness, and physical (including nutritional), mental, and emotional well-being, through the context of relationship. I believe growth and healing come from power held in the individual I am working with, and I aim to empower each person to access this from within themselves.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Maternal Mental Health Therapist in Richmond, VA
Finding postpartum therapists in Richmond starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Postpartum care can address more than postpartum depression, including postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with maternal mental health, perinatal care, postpartum counseling, or work as a therapist for moms. A perinatal mental health certification, often listed as PMH-C, can also signal specialized training.
Richmond offers both local and virtual options, which can help you find care that fits your schedule, location, and preferences. For many new parents, virtual therapy can make appointments easier to attend while managing infant care, physical recovery, and changing routines. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you see how each person describes their approach, specialties, and communication style before you book.
Postpartum counseling in Richmond can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find Richmond therapists who focus on postpartum concerns and offer upfront cost estimates after your coverage is verified. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available for your specific plan and area. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
