Therapists in Northern Barton Heights, Richmond, VA

Understanding yourself and life can be quite a challenge, especially when roadblocks and hurt are thrown into the journey. If granted a handbook to navigate life, we'd all be well off. However, that is not our reality. Due to this very reason, I have dedicated my focus to better support individuals to strengthen their mental health and regain the control of their journey no matter their life circumstances. My unique and non-traditional style of therapy has built numerous therapeutic alliances and has help many adolescents, adults and families seek love, acceptance, peace, and balance.

My focus is to help you to connect with the deeper you, the one that’s most authentic and true. Through that process, we work on releasing what’s not truly you, such as the anxiety, depression and other challenges that might present as “you”. These also include core beliefs and limiting thinking that prevents you from experiencing and living your innate joyful self.

In our lives we can struggle as individuals and within our family systems, regardless of whether we are children, teens, or adults. I believe therapy is a way to take time to focus and challenge beliefs around the different stressors in each individual’s life.  Stress is a part of everyday life, there is no way to avoid it. I believe that with empathy and therapeutic support individuals can face these stressors head on and work to improve their quality of life, inner strength, and happiness. Therapy should be a safe space to explore and challenge uncomfortable thoughts and feelings through compassion and empathy.

Therapy is a collaborative process to improving your well-being. I enjoy working with individuals who are looking to improve their mental well-being as well as relationships and other aspects of life. You may need support, psychoeducation, and the opportunity to explore your past and present and how it affects you. My clients may be new to mental health treatment and seeking help to accept and manage the challenges of their diagnosis.

Warm Greetings! I am a Resident in Counseling with over six years of experience in the mental health field. Having an empathetic heart has allowed me the opportunity to join others on their mental health journey. Having faced various mental health challenges myself, I believe that regular therapy should be accessible to everyone.

We all have a story and discovering personal insights, tackling current challenges, and healing past wounds requires courage.

Do you ever feel that you're living in the past? Do the thoughts, memories, and dreams keep coming back? Do you always feel that something bad is going to happen? These are some of the affects of trauma. Others can include panic attacks, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. Unfortunately we can't talk (or logic) our way out of our body and brain's response to trauma, and often we leave talk therapy feeling like we're spinning our wheels. There is good news: we can help your brain and body heal from the trauma so that the past can STAY in the past. Healing is possible, and I'm excited to work with you
