Relationship Issues Therapists in Richmond, VA
Often difficult life experiences like pain, suffering, confusion, intense emotions, and things just not going right bring us to therapy. Sometimes it's our relationship with ourselves, or with significant others or family members that creates the pain point. It can also be a specific event (breakup, move, feeling left out socially) or a specific felt experience (sad, lonely, angry, scared). AND although it can feel otherwise, there's no shame in receiving support. My hope is that therapy helps you experience greater self-acceptance, compassion, and ease with yourself and your life - it's a worthy and doable endeavor.

Finding the right therapist is the most important part of the therapeutic relationship.
I believe that everyone has the capacity to accomplish their goals. My role is to help you uncover and understand the obstacles and trauma that are getting in the way of achieving what you desire, and then help you tap into your inner resources to succeed. With empathy and authenticity, I work alongside my clients to promote healing and discovery of their power to change. Whether you are experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, depression, grief and loss; problems with relationships, parenting, or self-esteem; or a general sense of disconnectedness – whatever it is – I recognize that therapy is self-work, and it's not easy.

I believe that healing is ongoing, met by exploring what feels vulnerable. I feel called to supportively hold space for adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma symptoms, and relationship challenges. My clients and I work through issues that are impacting their relationships and life. I serve as a guide for my clients as they work on shifting how they view themselves and the world we share through improving self-esteem, self-worth, and relational dynamics. I find value in processing how life experiences have shaped who we are and who we are becoming. My approach is depth-based, with a focus on attachment theory.

I strive to facilitate an environment that is identity-affirming across various dimensions of diversity, including various aspects of sexuality and relationship (including kink and non-monogamy), gender, race, and health status.
As a therapist, I work primarily from a relational dynamic perspective and I use human diversity and social justice lenses to further inform my work. This means that I place particular emphasis on emotions and relationships, and that I strive to be emotionally present and available for authentic connection. It is my belief and experience that the work and healing of therapy occur within this connection. Therapy is thus a collaborative process of building an affirming relationship that leads to meaningful change.
