I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on treating acute and relational trauma with teens, individuals, and couples. I have been working as a psychotherapist for over 15 years.

Whatever brings you here, I bring deep clinical expertise, genuine compassion, and a commitment to helping you move toward the mental health and life you deserve.
I'm not a regular therapist—I'm a cool therapist. You'll likely find me using humor in sessions because it's one of my favorite coping skills (when it's appropriate). I strive to create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel comfortable being yourself.

Do you feel unsettled or that you're not where you want to be in life? Maybe you’re wondering if you’ll ever be a “good enough” partner, wife, mother, friend, or just good enough, in general. Or you’re faced with an important life decision like marriage, a new job, or whether or not to have a baby. You can’t really put your finger on why these decisions are so hard for you and that keeps you stuck and feeling anxious all the time. You have a hard time trusting your gut or listening to that quiet voice inside you that’s telling you something’s not right.
Thoughts and feelings like these can be so upsetting. And yet they are very common among women. That’s where I come in. I work with women just like you who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and perinatal issues such as postpartum depression. I offer a safe, non judgmental space to explore these feelings and get relief.
Learn ways of managing difficult thoughts and feelings and achieve the life you want for yourself. Sessions are exclusively online. You can receive the help in the privacy and comfort of a setting of your choosing. Online counseling is great for caregivers, busy professionals, those with health issues, or anyone who wants the flexibility telehealth offers.

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.
