I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 17 years of experience in counseling. I have worked with people struggling with diverse challenges including anxiety, depression, substance use, and life transitions.
Hello, thank you for making your mental health a priority! I look forward to working with you on your journey to healing, self-preservation and empowerment. Together we can!
Great to meet you!
Starting therapy can feel intimidating, awkward, or like something you’ve been putting off for way too long—and however you’re showing up, you’re allowed to come in exactly as you are.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (practicing psychotherapy since 2022 with prior experience in HR and Coaching) who focuses on creating a space where you don’t have to filter yourself or “get it right.” If your thoughts feel all over the place, if you don’t know where to start, or if part of you is unsure this will even help—that’s okay. We’ll figure it out together.
I work with individuals navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, occupational stress, identity questions, relationship matters (kink and polyamory friendly), and feeling stuck in patterns that aren’t working anymore.
I also have experience working with more complex emotional and personality-related concerns, including Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD). A lot of my clients are used to holding it all together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, reactive, or exhausted on the inside—and are ready for something to actually shift.
My style is supportive but real. I’m here to listen, but also to help you understand what’s going on beneath the surface and start making changes that feel meaningful—not just temporary — via skills that go beyond breathwork.
I hold a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and am currently pursuing a second Master’s in Applied Psychology, which reflects my commitment to continuing to grow and deepen the way I support my clients.
Outside of therapy, I’m into houseplants, video games, and spending time with my dogs—which mostly just means I understand the need for both structure and an escape sometimes.
Life can be many things and at times it can be very challenging. These challenges can lead you to feeling overwhelmed, stressed, disconnected from your friends and loved ones, and often lead to confusion about your future.
I am a licensed counselor specializing in helping individuals explore their challenges in life to guide them on creating a better sense of self and hope for their future.
Therapy should cultivate space to explore one’s truths, navigate challenges, and enhance resilience. My passion is empowering clients to embrace their authentic self and become their own best advocate. I am dedicated to fostering an inclusive and affirming environment where clients feel supported but also valued. I work with many individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, major life transitions, relationship tension, caregiver burnout, or trauma.
Hi! My name is Meghan, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background working in trauma and mental health, more specifically with Sexual and Domestic Violence. With my background in trauma, I have found that it lends to working well with a variety of different presenting issues such as depression, anxiety, family issues and life changes.
As a mental health therapist, I practice in Virginia, New York, Florida, and North Carolina, specializing in grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger management, and stress associated with life transitions.
Hi! My name is Chris. I’m an artist turned therapist and have degree in Art Therapy/Counseling. I have trained in settings including a juvenile detention center, palliative care center, and trauma clinic. Post graduation I have worked in DC doing agency work, later in a school for neurodivergent adolescents and their families, and most recently have worked with the Marine Corps and the Navy. I work well with men, couples, and families with a specialization in military lifestyle.
I have been an LPC since 2017. I am married and have 2 children. I am family oriented and if not hanging out with my family cooking, you would also find me outdoors enjoying the sun, drawing, and reading. We are also dachshund fanatics having had them part of our family since 2003. Currently I have 2 long haired dachshunds.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Virginia
Searching for therapists in Virginia starts with finding the right clinical fit for your needs. Virginia has a wide mix of therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas, so available options can vary by location. You may want support for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare Virginia therapists, look for training, listed specialties, and therapy approaches that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their style, experience, and what sessions may look like.
Practical fit matters, too. Whether you are looking for therapy in Virginia Beach, Richmond, Northern Virginia, or a smaller community, consider whether in-person or virtual care works better for your schedule. Some people prefer meeting in an office, while others prefer the flexibility of virtual sessions from home. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and whether they are accepting new patients. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, specialties, and scheduling options in one place.
The cost of mental health care in Virginia varies, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose from appointments that fit your schedule. Nationally, Headway works with over 100 insurance plans. You can browse therapists in Virginia, review bios, check availability, and book directly when you are ready.
