Thank you for reaching out for assistance. I have been providing mental health interventions and support for 36 years as an LCSW. I have also been credentialed as a trauma and ICU nurse and very early on in my professional life I was a special education teacher and received a masters in education as well.
My first few decades in practice was dedicated to the care and treatment of children 4 -12 years of age and adolescents 13 to 18 many who had been adjudicated for protection. Because of my nursing background and work in oncology I also have experience in providing supportive care for loss and grief issues as well as education and support for chronic illness, and post trauma care.
I have in the past 15 years began to work also with adults. I am licensed in EMDR interventions for PTSD both acute and chronic post trauma effects.
Because of my medical background i try and include a holistic approach to understanding both the physical and psychological issues my clients may be experiencing .
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience in mental health and substance misuse services. I also have a postgraduate Certificate in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy, and am passionate about helping folks with post-psychedelic integration. Our therapeutic partnership begins with the understanding that you are a whole person — not a diagnosis, a symptom, or a set of circumstances. Together, we will explore how the intersections of identity, lived experience, trauma, mental health, and substance use shape your inner world and outer life across biological, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions.
I have over 8 1/2 years of experience helping adults, children, and families learn how to heal and grow from dysfunction, trauma, addiction, and mental health issues of all kinds. I have worked with people from ages 3-80 years old so I have a multitude of experiences with all kinds of mental health issues including (trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, LGBTQIA+ related issues, and more). I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who has worked in community mental health and online.
As a mental health therapist, I am deeply committed to supporting individuals of all ages as they navigate life's challenges. With a degree in clinical mental health counseling from Marymount University and over 7 years of experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my practice. My specialization in working with children and teens allows me to provide tailored support for young individuals facing issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and familial conflict.
I am a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner for over 5 years, and I am also a board certified adult nurse practitioner for over 12 years. I began my nursing career graduating from university of MD with my bachelors, and then attended Johns Hopkins University for my masters. I decided to further my education by attending Brandman University to obtain my Doctorate and psychiatric mental health certification in 2018.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Virginia Beach
Finding ADHD therapists in Virginia Beach starts with knowing what kind of care you want. Therapy can support executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation, and routines for focus and time management. Medication management is a separate service usually provided by a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner. Some people look for therapy, some look for medication support, and some use both. If you’re searching for adult ADHD care, ADHD testing in Virginia Beach, or support for a child or teen, review each therapist’s listed specialties and experience before you book.
Virginia Beach has a steady mix of local and virtual therapy options, which can help you compare fit across schedule, location, and care style. If you prefer in-person care, consider office location and commute time. If your schedule changes often, virtual appointments may give you more available times to choose from. ADHD can also appear alongside anxiety, depression, school stress, work stress, or relationship strain, so it helps to look for a therapist with experience in the concerns you want to address. Provider bios can show how a therapist structures sessions, which approaches they use, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Virginia Beach can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for ADHD therapists who are accepting new patients, compare virtual and in-person availability, and enter your insurance details to see estimated costs before booking. You can browse therapist profiles, review specialties and approaches, and book directly when you’re ready.
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.
