Therapists in Virginia Beach, VA

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are." - Theodore Roosevelt - Life is a journey, and often along the way the road can get bumpy, obstacles can block our path, and we can get stuck.

I provide a nonjudgmental and compassionate atmosphere, in which you can safely explore and work feelings, thoughts, images, and beliefs that maybe keeping you from moving forward in life. I believe that for therapy to be effective, both you and I must be actively involved in developing treatment goals and assessing progress. Efforts to change self-perception, emotions and behaviors require work both in session and out of session. Therapy is a process in which you, the client gain insight, and tools that will facilitate continued growth and development after the counseling has ended.
