Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Chester, VA

I have a background in science and psychology, which fits my education as a psychologist. I am also a very creative and collaborative person. I want to work with each client to find the best individual treatment for them. I know many techniques and exercises, but only you can tell me what what works best for you. I enjoy helping adults (age 18+) navigate the transitions they face and be able to look forward to the future with hope (even if that feels very far away currently).

Hi! As a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and proud LGBTQ+ ally, I have extensive experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma, and more. I have a special place in my practice for those dealing with depression or trauma rooted in relationships or family, because those experiences deserve thoughtful, dedicated care.

Your mental health journey matters to me, and I'm here to truly listen, not just to what you're saying, but to what you need. Together, we'll work toward solutions that are both compassionate and effective.

My goal is to help you build resiliency and support your positive change and growth. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Virginia Board of Social Work approved social work supervisor specializing in mental health crisis management, trauma processing, management of depression and anxiety, and navigating new psychiatric diagnoses.

Seeking help is a sign of strength, and working with the right therapist for you can be an extremely rewarding and positive experience. Feel free to contact me for a free 15 minute consultation. I am a person-centered therapist providing a safe, non-judgmental space with an empowering approach for clients to cultivate autonomy and reach their full potential.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in outpatient therapy, school-based counseling, multisystemic work, clinical assessments, and substance use counseling. I’ve worked with individuals and families across a variety of settings, allowing me to bring both clinical expertise and real-world understanding into the therapy space.

I specialize in working with teens, adults, parents, and helping professionals navigating stress, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, and behavioral challenges. I also support parents seeking guidance and practical tools to better understand and manage their child or teen’s behavior.

I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood. Our work will be collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, with a focus on helping you feel more confident, in control, and equipped to handle life’s challenges. For those who prefer it, I offer faith-integrated counseling that incorporates Christian values into the therapeutic process.

I have been an LPC since 2017. I am married and have 2 children. I am family oriented and if not hanging out with my family cooking, you would also find me outdoors enjoying the sun, drawing, and reading. We are also dachshund fanatics having had them part of our family since 2003. Currently I have 2 long haired dachshunds.
