Virtual • Virginia


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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Virginia Beach

Searching for family therapists in Virginia Beach starts with finding someone who understands the concerns your family wants to address. Family therapy can support families navigating parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication patterns, and stress across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person, so review each therapist’s listed specialties, training, and approach to see whether their experience matches your needs.

In Virginia Beach, your options may include therapists with offices near home, school, or work, as well as therapists who offer virtual appointments across Virginia. For family counseling, it also helps to ask how sessions are structured. Some appointments may include the full family, while others may focus on parents, siblings, couples, or individual family members. Before booking, read therapist bios for details on availability, session format, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

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 and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search family therapists in Virginia Beach who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
