Parenting Therapists in Cape Charles, VA

You might be facing common challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship difficulties. You hold a desire for growth but need a safe, non-judgmental space to express yourself, receive validation and learn tools to manage your symptoms.

Do you experience the effects of low self-esteem, trauma, identity issues, grief, and personal growth? I support my client through significant life transitions like marriage and divorce, address common relationship issues, guide you through the complexities of parenting, and empower you during your transition to adulthood. We can openly and safely explore your spirituality, identity, and sexuality. Together, we'll embark on a journey of profound change and lasting growth toward elevated hope, self-esteem, self-compassion, and self-efficacy while challenging negative thinking.

My ideal client is someone who is open to the therapy experience and is ready to challenge themselves to actively work toward feeling better. Someone who recognizes that while changes in behavior, mood, thinking, relationships, employment, parenting, lifestyle etc. may test our ability to cope, as they can be difficult and painful, how we respond to these changes/challenges ultimately determines the outcome. Someone who is willing to engage in a symbiotic, collaborative therapeutic relationship to work on their self determined goals, whatever they may be.

We're all trying to get through life....and we weren't meant to navigate it alone. Sometimes we just need an ear, a shoulder, or someone to even hold up the proverbial roadmap and walk alongside us to keep it moving forward. Life carries us through many seasons, often resulting in confusion, chaos, anxiety, depression, illness, grief, and traumatic events. Sometimes they happen as children and young adults, resulting in "stuff" we carry into our adulthood; this has an enormous impact on the quality of our lives. The good news is, there's help! You don't have to suffer alone and in silence.

Are you dealing with grief, trauma, parenting concerns, relationship problems, sexual dysfunction, or marital issues, such as unsettled disagreements, infidelity, or divorce? Maybe that spark seems to be missing. Have you tried therapy before, and it seemed not to work? Well, you need a therapist that you can connect with. Therapy success, in part, depends upon the relationship with your therapist. You need a therapist who specializes in the area of your concern. If you would like someone well-equipped to help you navigate life and you are willing to work for the change you need, I look forward to hearing from you.
