Teletherapy for Glen Allen, VA

I'm an energetic, creative, intuitive social worker and life coach. I find joy in providing a sacred space that allows adults to connect, heal, and regulate their emotional and nervous system. With intention, dignity, and humor (when appropriate), I utilize a holistic approach to therapy that integrates mindfulness, sound healing, meditation, shadow work and cognitive behavioral therapy modalities. I'm on a mission to help you restore your faith, have hope for the future, and elevate. I invite you to mediate on Isaiah 40:31.

My goal as a therapist is to bear witness to each client’s unique experiences as they see them, help them to better understand their own perceptions, and uncover the inherent strengths of each individual in a warm, supportive environment. I aspire to help each client gain tools that work best for them to navigate the challenges of life and create a safe space for exploration and self-compassion. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing issues including depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, interpersonal conflict, LGBTQ+ issues, family conflict, trauma, emotional dysregulation, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

My PURPOSE is to utilize my spiritual, academic, and personal experiences to empower and enrich the lives of others, through a counseling or coaching relationships

Are you tired of running? I see you...telling yourself you just need some "skills" or "strategies" to manage things that have gotten really out of control - your overbooked schedule, your blood pressure and the thought swirl that doesn't want to let you sleep at night. You know something has to change, but you can't slow down long enough to breathe. You're used to solving problems on your own, but this feels too big. You've been to therapy before, and it sort of helped take the edge off for a while. It’s time for a fresh approach that addresses problems from the root. You can stop running from your feelings and start resolving them.

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? I'm here to help you understand and manage your emotional well-being. Life's challenges and transitions are part of our journey, and emotional distress affects us all. Generational and interpersonal traumas can deeply impact our identity, but you don't have to face these challenges alone. Let's collaborate and discover your path to success, enhancing your resilience along the way.

I offer trauma-informed therapy in a comfortable, accessible environment for children, adolescents, and adults. If you are open to try different approaches, art therapy is an option for all ages. Beyond any specific diagnosis, I view people and mental health holistically. With a background in education, I provide compassionate understanding of the unique challenges faced in developmental stages throughout the lifespan. I have experience and interest in working with people in high-stress careers, including legal professionals and military personnel.

Being human is hard! A lot of us are juggling school, work, family, friendships, and about a thousand other things simultaneously. All that pressure begins to weigh on us after a while. This can lead to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, financial stress... The list goes on. I specialize in working with preteens, teens, and young adults dealing with stress, family problems, bullying, and life transitions. As your therapist, I will help you navigate through life's challenges by listening to you, uncovering the areas that are keeping you stuck, and provide skills to help you live your best life.

You deserve joy. You deserve peace. You deserve to live your best life and enjoy it to the fullest. At times, life’s circumstances can hinder you from living to your fullest potential. I understand this and am more than willing to help. I am passionate about mental health and the power that lies within the therapeutic relationship. The belief that every client possesses all of the answers and solutions within but sometimes you need help navigating to those answers is my philosophy. I take pride in creating a genuine and safe environment for you to be your authentic self and foster the change you desire and deserve.

I welcome those who are experiencing grief/loss, life adjustments, stress, anxiety, and PTSD. Sometimes we can find ourselves not wanting to burden those around us with our worries, or we just don't feel understood. Know that my space is one where you will be heard, validated, and seen. Common goals I work on with people can include: developing healthy coping skills, decreasing the presence of depressive and anxiety symptoms, and increasing people's ability for self-compassion. The individuals I work with are just trying to show up for themselves and the people that are in their lives, and that starts with taking care of themselves.

Are your relationships causing emotional instability? Is effective communication, boundary-setting, or managing your mood a challenge? Perhaps your headspace and sense of self is clouded by doubt and self-criticism. Maybe you feel disconnected from who you are and where you’re going, and how you spend your time. I'd like to help. In our sessions, I support my clients to grow, reflect, and develop skills to live a life sparked by joy and fulfillment. We process the past and its impact in the present, and foster deep understanding which strengthens the connection to mind and body. In our work, my clients find ease and empowerment.

Thank you for visiting my page. Are you currently seeking quality psychological care? I possess a balance of active listening, effective communication skills and high levels of discernment. Just remember, therapy is a collaborative approach. I work with my clients to devise a therapeutic treatment plan that best suits their individual needs.

“I love my job,” you whisper to yourself, à la Emily Blunt in The Devil Wears Prada. You’re half joking, half desperately trying to convince yourself it’s true. And work is just the start. Your whole life feels cluttered and confusing. You want someone to notice you’re struggling - but then you would have to admit that you’re struggling. You'd prefer people to know the poised, polished, professional you, not the messy version of you that stress watches Parks and Rec until 2:00 am. So you grit your teeth and make another to-do list you that deep down you know you'll never finish.

I primarily work with older adolescents and adults. I promote a supportive environment to provide a trusting and caring venue for my clients to explore their concerns. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia. My practice focuses on many concerns, but in particular I work with those who have been diagnosed with a severe mental illness, addiction, trauma, anxiety, relationship concerns and depression. I believe in recovery from symptoms, and find that individuals are interested in moving forward with their goals. My overall approach is to be actively engaged with each client to promote healing, growth and recovery.

This is a time of great stress and challenge for everyone. You have reached out to begin rebuilding a life a balance and resilience. I am happy to work with you on your journey. In my 35 years of service in working with adults I have come to understand that “one size does not fit all”. You and I will work together to define your own personal goals and develop a path of healing and growth to achieve what is right for your life. I work entirely on-line so that you can access these services in the comfort and privacy of your own home. My hours are from 11:00-3:00 Tues. & Wed. If you are ready to start your journey, please contact me.

I believe there is meaning in symptoms. We are designed to thrive. When something is out of balance our mind/body/spirit/relationships present symptoms to ask us to pay attention. I specialize in helping people discover what needs their attention. Then, I help people learn new skills so they are equipped to respond more effectively to their needs. I offer support as people practice necessary changes in their thoughts, managing their emotions, and interacting with others and their circumstances. Finally, I encourage and guide people as they seek to fully actualize their potential.
