Therapists in Richmond, VA

With the proper guidance and nurturing, you have the innate ability to heal from stress and trauma. Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck repeating the same unhelpful patterns, and have low self-esteem? If so, I can help you navigate a path toward increasing self-compassion and healing from these common trauma responses. I am a licensed clinical social worker in Virginia and Maryland and have dedicated my career to working with adult survivors of trauma, domestic abuse, sexual assault, childhood trauma, stalking and harassment.

You are not alone in your journey to feel better, mentally and physically. Are you experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, stress or feelings of fear that are holding you back? Symptoms of PTSD? Feeling depressed, overwhelmed or unmotivated? Do you have unresolved trauma? Have you experienced abuse? Difficult or unfulfilling relationships? I specialize in helping clients identify problem areas in their lives and formulate goals to improve them. We will work to eliminate any self limiting and sabotaging beliefs patterns and you will acquire coping skills, strategies and resources to succeed. Healing and thriving is possible!

As a fellow truth seeker and meaning maker, I know firsthand how challenges in life can seem inescapable at times. I also personally understand the layered impact that a history of trauma has on our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about supporting women to learn to connect, cultivate, and honor their deepest sense of self, from the inside out, and what I like to think of as on a soul level. I want to support you to learn how to own all parts of yourself - mindfully, without judgment, and to honor your soul.

Recovering from trauma is the most inspiring and difficult things one can do in their lifetime. I am a believer that post traumatic growth is possible in all people. I utilize an eclectic approach pulling from a base of radical feminism utilizing approaches from DBT, somatic experiencing, and mindfulness and acceptance based approaches. I firmly believe that everyone has the tools within them to heal and grow and my primary job as therapist is to provide a safe non-judgmental setting for you to discover your healed self.

Are you struggling with sadness, anxiety, or maybe experienced a recent trauma? Are you having thoughts of your childhood abuse? Are you fearful that you might have a drug or alcohol problem? Or maybe you just lost someone close to you. Perhaps you are having some relationship issues, or a difficult life adjustment. I would love to help!

I use a very eclectic approach in which I am engaged and actively involved in the therapeutic process. I ask lots of questions. I invite my patients to move away from self-judgment and to be truly curious about themselves and their lives. We look together at patterns of functioning, at assumptions about the self, at how the present reflects the past. The goal is authenticity and the path is self-awareness.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has specialized in working with children, adolescents, adults, and families for over 9 years. My background and experiences include work in the public school systems, child welfare systems (child protective services, adoptions, and foster care), private counseling center for adolescents and families, therapeutic recreational services, intensive in-home counseling, and an emergency diagnostic residential facility. I have experience working with individuals and families who have experienced trauma, grief & loss, divorce, single parenting, job loss, family conflict, stress, domestic violence, substance abuse, and crisis situations. If you are currently in crisis call 911.

Our clients require training and education on ways to improving coping mechanisms when living with a mental health illness/diagnosis. We train, monitor, and educate clients on skills development for living independently. We teach clients about their psychotropic medication and ensure medication management. We connect and educate clients to and about community resources. We also demonstrate, train, and model self-advocacy skills to our clients. Our clients may have treatment history that includes substance abuse or doctor's recommendation.

I like to work with clients who genuinely want to improve their lives and are willing to devote time and effort in order to achieve permanent change.

The Counseling Alliance of Virginia believes everyone has the capacity to live a healthy and productive life when offered the support they deserve.

Being at peace with yourself is not easy. Showing yourself the kindness you easily give to others can be extremely challenging. This is especially true if you are accustomed to anticipating the needs of others before acknowledging your own. You may find that your sense of worthiness depends on how useful you are to others. The beautiful thing is: you are enough already as you are. The painful thing is: you believe you're both not enough and too much at the same time. You want to be able to relate to yourself in a kinder way, take good care of yourself, and feel more authentic in your relationships.
