I’m a dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 16 years of experience in healthcare and a deep passion for providing compassionate, individualized mental health care.

I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported. My approach is patient-centered and collaborative, with treatment plans tailored to your unique needs, goals, and circumstances.

Through Telehealth, I provide evaluation and treatment for a wide range of mental health concerns, including ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, anger concerns, intermittent explosive disorder, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, binge-eating disorders, body dysmorphia, PTSD, unresolved trauma, family conflicts, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and substance use disorders. I proudly provide an LGBTQ+ affirming and inclusive space for all patients.

I also believe mental health care works best when providers work together. When appropriate, I collaborate with therapists, primary care providers, and other healthcare professionals to help create comprehensive, practical, and effective treatment plans.

My goal is simple: to meet you where you are and support you in getting to where you want to be. Your story matters, your goals matter, and you deserve care that meets you with compassion—not judgment.

I am deeply committed to helping individuals discover meaning and purpose in their lives. With more than four decades of experience as a counselor, I specialize in guiding clients through recovery from addictions, anxiety disorders, and PTSD.

As an Associate Professor in the Online Department of Community Care and Counseling within the School of Behavioral Sciences at Liberty University, I facilitate courses designed to help students and clients rediscover their zest for life and cultivate lasting emotional well-being.

In my private practice, I work extensively with couples, equipping them with practical tools and proven techniques to restore joy, strengthen relational intimacy, and build fulfilling, resilient relationships.

I live in Lynchburg, Virginia, where I remain actively engaged in my community. My areas of specialization include trauma and complex trauma, anxiety, depression, child abuse recovery, and relational intimacy. I am also the author of Joy on the Same Page (2023), which outlines my Relational Intimacy approach.

As a Psychiatrist mental health nurse practitioner with over 22 years in nursing practice, I have a strong foundation in evidence-based practice and psychiatric care. I have been trained to diagnose and treat mental health conditions using the latest research and clinical guidelines. Your treatment plan, which may include medication management, psychotherapy, or a combination of both, would be based on my professional expertise and designed to address the biological, psychological, and social aspects of your patient's well-being.

My identity as a spirit-filled Christian means that my faith is a core part of who I am. My faith often includes a belief in the power of prayer, spiritual guidance, and a holistic view of health that encompasses the mind, body, and spirit. This translates into a deep sense of empathy and a non-judgmental approach, seeing each person as a valuable individual created in God's image.

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.

The most meaningful progress usually happens when therapy feels collaborative, down-to-earth, and paired with a healthy dose of sarcastic humor. If you value genuine warmth, absolute candor, and a practical, solution-focused approach to life's changing seasons, we'll get along great.

I specialize in partnering with driven, goal-oriented individuals who are ready to stop over-analyzing their roadblocks and start executing clear strategies. My clinical toolkit was built across a wide range of settings—from civilian clinics to VA hospitals and deployment environments—which taught me how to deliver actionable, real-world tools without wasting anyone's time.

When I’m off the clock, I am a mother, lover of working out - and ice cream, and a nature seeker who recharges anywhere from the beach to the mountains. I also have a massive soft spot for animals, especially my cat, Zach Morris, who firmly believes he runs my household.

If you're ready to cut through the noise and get to work, let's connect.
