Therapists in Richmond, VA
I believe that the relationship between client and therapist is central to growth and healing, and my approach to therapy is client-centered and collaborative.
We all have a story; discovering personal insights, tackling current challenges, and healing past wounds requires courage. People come to therapy for many reasons, whether as individuals, couples, or families. In therapy, we will work together to define your goals and work towards helping you gain a deeper understanding of what you need to live a life that is more aligned with them and your authentic self. With a certificate in trauma counseling, I am deeply connected to issues related to childhood trauma and grief, and I am passionate about helping people create their own paths and define their recovery.

My work, for over thirty years, has involved creative conversations geared toward healing and positive change, with individuals, couples and families.
My clients are searching for meaning and a sense of wholeness in their lives, sometimes in the midst of crisis, sometimes traveling through times of normative change. Although I am an ordained Presbyterian minister and consider my work a ministry of counseling, I value the diversity of our community and seek to meet people wherever they identify themselves to be and honor their unique stories, beliefs and perspectives.

My practice is a collaborative space where you or you and your partner can navigate and process your emotions openly.
Fortunately and unfortunately, there is no road map to our lives, and the unknown is both beautiful and terrifying. I work with you to create a version of a road map, a better understanding of yourself, goals, past experiences, insecurities and road blocks, in an effort to make you feel excited about the unknown rather than fearful. If you are seeking individual therapy the roadmap may include exploring unhealthy thought patterns, navigating loneliness or finding tools to tackle anxiety. If you and your partner are looking for support, the road map will help to identify points of conflict & strengthen communication skills.

I specialize in working with families and couples navigating relational dynamics, communication, LGBTQ+ issues, and religious trauma.
Sometimes, the bravest thing we can do is just show up. Prioritizing yourself, your relationships, and your needs is one of the greatest gifts we can give. When you show up at therapy, you take your first steps towards growth and healing and you won’t be on the journey alone. I invite anyone who feels the need to talk to reach out and take that step. Maybe you don’t even know how to explain, you just want things to be different. Whatever you're navigating, I can provide a space for you to feel heard, seen, and respected, while we pursue your goals together.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
