Hi there, welcome! I strive to offer a safe space where you can begin or continue your therapeutic journey. A nonjudgmental space where you can freely process, express, vent, and just be. Taking an individualized approach to include exploring thoughts/feelings/behaviors, challenging negative core beliefs, and developing more adaptive coping skills.
I have practice as a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2012 and I also hold the license for Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner.
I believe the most effective care comes from a strong, collaborative partnership. I approach each person as more than a diagnosis, and I value honesty, accountability, and mutual respect in the work we do together. Change is possible—I’ve seen it firsthand—and I’m here to support you in becoming the version of yourself you want to be. My background includes both a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Nursing from Walsh University, and I bring that clinical foundation into thoughtful, individualized care.

Hi there—I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regent University. I work with adults facing a range of challenges, including anxiety, past trauma, relationship struggles, and substance use. My style is warm, supportive, and down-to-earth. I use tools from CBT, DBT, and other evidence-based approaches, but most importantly, I meet you where you are—no pressure, no judgment.
I believe therapy works best when it feels like a real, human connection. You don’t have to be in crisis to reach out, and you don’t have to have everything figured out to begin. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just trying to understand yourself better, I’m here to help you explore what’s going on and find new ways to cope and move forward.
On a personal note, I know what it’s like to go through hard seasons and come out the other side. That lived experience helps me show up with empathy and honesty. If you're looking for someone who will listen without judgment and walk with you as you work toward real, lasting change—I'm here.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Virginia Beach, VA
Searching for addiction therapists in Virginia Beach starts with finding care that fits the type of support you need. Addiction care can include help with alcohol use, drug use, substance use patterns, gambling, or other behavioral concerns. Many people look for a substance abuse counselor, addiction counselor, alcohol therapist, or counselor for drug and alcohol abuse who has experience with approaches like motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, and harm reduction. Some people may also work with a psychiatrist as part of their care team, so it can help to review each therapist’s listed specialties and care approach before booking.
Virginia Beach has both local offices and virtual options, which can make it easier to compare therapists across the city and nearby areas. In-person sessions may work well if you prefer a regular office setting, while virtual appointments can expand access if your schedule, transportation, or local availability limits your options. As you narrow your search, look at whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Provider bios can also show whether a therapist uses a nonjudgmental approach, has experience with harm reduction, or supports people through changes that may not follow a straight path.
Therapy in Virginia Beach 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 care begins. Headway helps you compare addiction therapists in Virginia Beach who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify your insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. From there, you can choose a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and offers the type of support you’re looking for.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
