As a licensed clinical social worker with a master’s degree from The National Catholic School of Social Services, I bring extensive experience from my work in university-based teaching hospitals and ambulatory care clinics. My practice focuses on supporting adults and their caregivers through challenges such as anxiety, depression, complex medical conditions (acute and chronic), medical trauma, loss, grief, and significant life transitions.

I have a specialization in guiding individuals and their caregivers through the cancer journey, encompassing every phase—from diagnosis and treatment to recovery, survivorship, and end-of-life care. I have also worked extensively with patients undergoing stem cell transplants, CAR-T and immunotherapy.

My training and experience also includes helping individuals manage disorders of the brain-gut interaction. Support, education and strategies address the connection between the mind and gastrointestinal health. Recognizing that everyday stressors can greatly affect your well-being, I adapt my clinical approach to suit a variety of life situations, always tailoring care to meet your unique needs.

I am originally from North Carolina and moved to Virginia 6 years ago. I studied at Wake Forest University. Since I was younger, I've enjoyed helping others and learning about the science of mental health. It became my hobby when I was younger. I enjoy working with so many backgrounds and increasing my education each year as I help new people. Currently, I like to utilize mindfulness based CBT, DBT, and ACT.

Therapist

I help ambitious adults who feel plateaued or stuck in their work, relationships, healing or personal growth. On the surface life may look solid, yet anxiety lingers, relationships feel strained, or old patterns keep showing up when they try to move forward in their work, relationships, or personal growth. You understand yourself intellectually, but the deeper patterns still feel outside your control. Often the coping strategies that once propelled you forward are now the very things holding you back. You may even know exactly what needs to change, yet still find yourself repeating the same reactions when pressure rises.

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatrist and I have been treating patients across the lifespan for over 15 years. Once my caseload became full in 2022, I founded a small practice (Tandem Telehealth) where I now oversee a handful of talented psychiatric nurse practitioners and talk therapists. The team approach allows us to provide faster access to care for new patients and a higher level of support than you would likely receive from individuals working independently.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Richmond, VA

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.
