Now more than ever people are feeling anxious, detached, and overwhelmed by the demands of life, how to sustain healthy relationships, keep work-life balance, or simply find meaning in their daily lives. My hope is to guide you through the process, offering adaptable skills and insights along the way.

As a clinical psychologist, I believe in a whole-person approach to psychotherapy and hope to provide a space where you can explore your experiences without judgment and regain a sense of strength and purpose. Seeking help can be one of the hardest first steps, and the therapy room can be a place to pause, reflect, and begin to heal. Let's get this process started!

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.

Life can be hard and sometimes overwhelming, but there is light, even if you can’t see it right now. You don’t have to carry everything alone. With support, healing and growth are possible. You deserve a space where you feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, but I’m here to walk alongside you. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with over 10 years of experience in the helping profession, including clinical mental health work since 2020. I earned my Master of Science in Education in Clinical Mental Health and School Counseling from Old Dominion University. I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, couples, and veterans ages 11 to 40 supporting concerns such as life transitions, relationships, anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, self-esteem, and personal growth. I focus on building a genuine connection and creating a safe, welcoming space where you can be yourself. I value cultural humility and honor your unique experiences and strengths, meeting you where you are while supporting your growth. I believe healing happens in supportive relationships. Whether you’re facing challenges, processing the past, or moving into a new chapter, I’m here to support you. There is hope, and together we can help you move forward. Outside of counseling, I enjoy singing, painting, music, travel, and exploring different cultures, which help keep me grounded and inspired.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.

I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.

I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Virginia Beach

Searching for postpartum therapists in Virginia Beach starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Postpartum care can include support for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some people also look for a pregnancy therapist or counselor for pregnancy before or after delivery. As you review profiles, look for therapists who list perinatal mental health, maternal mental health, or a PMH-C credential, which can signal specialized training in postpartum support.

Virginia Beach offers a range of local options, and the right fit may depend on both specialty and logistics. New parents may need flexible scheduling, virtual sessions, or appointment times that work around infant care, physical recovery, and changing routines. In-person care may be a good fit if you prefer an office setting, while virtual therapy can expand access to postpartum depression therapists near you when travel is harder. Read therapist bios before booking to understand their approach, communication style, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

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 make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you search for postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, compare profiles, verify your insurance, and see your estimated cost before you book, so you can find someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and offers the support you’re looking for.
