I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in outpatient therapy, school-based counseling, multisystemic work, clinical assessments, and substance use counseling. I’ve worked with individuals and families across a variety of settings, allowing me to bring both clinical expertise and real-world understanding into the therapy space.

I specialize in working with teens, adults, parents, and helping professionals navigating stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and behavioral challenges. I also support parents seeking guidance and practical tools to better understand and manage their child or teen’s behavior.

I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood. Our work will be collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, with a focus on helping you feel more confident, in control, and equipped to handle life’s challenges. For those who prefer it, I offer faith-integrated counseling that incorporates Christian values into the therapeutic process.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Richmond

Searching for therapists in Richmond starts with finding someone whose experience matches the care you’re looking for. People seek therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare therapists in Richmond, VA, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and populations served. A therapist’s profile can help you see whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and whether their background fits your needs.

Richmond offers a range of therapy options across neighborhoods like the Fan District, Jackson Ward, Church Hill, and nearby areas. For some people, an in-person office close to work, school, or home may make appointments easier to keep. Others may prefer virtual therapy in Richmond, VA, especially if scheduling around commute time, caregiving, or a busy calendar. When narrowing your search, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, has appointment times that fit your schedule, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style and what sessions may feel like.

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 understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you find Richmond therapy options by showing therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates after your benefits are verified. You can browse therapists, review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
