Deciding on a therapist can be a daunting experience; I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience. I provide psychotherapy services via video and phone sessions. I have always known there was a need for high-quality mental health providers. Therefore, I focus my clinical practice on providing high-quality services and evidence-based interventions to my clients. I have treated many clients with a variety of diagnoses including: addiction, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, PTSD and attention deficit disorder.
I have a strong passion to help people, and truly believe in each individual’s strengths and abilities. Some of the treatment modalities used are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a Strengths-Based approach in an unbiased and non judgmental manner. Thus allowing me to create the holding space my clients need.
I have realized that when we understand our strengths and have developed them we are able to improve and or have a better quality of life. Sometimes we do not understand that a crisis can affect many different areas in our life and recognizing and acknowledging it is the first step in our journey to healing.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Virginia Beach
Searching for therapists in Virginia Beach starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. A profile that mentions approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling can help you understand what sessions may focus on before you book.
Virginia Beach has therapy options across a range of neighborhoods, from the Oceanfront and Town Center to Kempsville and Great Neck. Your search may include therapists with nearby offices, virtual appointments, or a mix of both. Consider practical details like appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading bios can also give you a clearer sense of communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
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 find therapists who may accept a range of insurance plans, may be accepting new clients, and can show upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists, review bios, compare virtual and in-person availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
