Hi there! I am not accepting clients or supervisees at this time. However, our practice has openings for therapy. Please visit mermaidcounseling.com or text 757-447-7382.
My specialties are guiding survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and abusive relationships in addition to writing gender affirming surgery letters. I utilize an eclectic approach to come up with the best course of treatment for my clients, often a mix of psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy. I am also EMDR trained.
Congratulations on making an important and brave decision to seek counseling! We will work together to foster your strengths and find tools and techniques to help you succeed. Therapists are like pairs of shoes; if I am not a good fit, I will provide referrals to link you to someone who can better meet your needs.
