Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Virginia Beach, VA

Accepting New Clients! Have you been feeling overwhelmed, you just don’t know what to do and nothing seems to be working? The emotional and mental weight of life can often lead us to feel unsure and unsafe in our own mind and in our bodies. My passion aligns with helping individuals navigate and manage their emotions and thoughts by developing awareness of their triggers, acceptance as to why this may be happening, and coping skills to help us transform/evolve. I use an integrative approach including traditional psychotherapy as well as somatic interventions, breathing exercises, Yoga, meditations and guided visualizations.

Welcome! I have a passion for supporting neurodiverse individuals of all ages and families seeking acceptance and understanding. I have a personal connection to this journey as well. I am what some may call, 'neuro-spicy' myself. It is this unique blend of experience and expertise that sets me apart and allows me to truly connect with my clients on a profound level. Life can be tough, and sometimes, all we need is a little empathy, humor, and realism to navigate its complexities. That is where Shooting Star Counseling comes in!

My speciality varies from working with individuals, military/first responders, couples experiencing relationship issues, infidelity & sexual dysfunctions. C.S Lewis said, " You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending." This is my mindset for my practice when working with clients. I believe there is strength in forgiveness, that tomorrow can be better today, & relationships are resilient. Discussing intimacy, communication challenges can be overwhelming, but I do my best to bring lightness & comfort to all issues from a non-judgmental perspective. Learn more at Esagetherapy.com

Deciding to come to therapy can be a difficult decision; one that takes courage and often comes with some anxiety and ambiguity about what the process will entail. It is my belief that the foundation for a positive experience in therapy begins with the therapeutic relationship.

It is important for you to feel comfortable with me; I will do my best to facilitate that process and to be transparent about what you can expect from therapy.
