As a mom of three (specifically as a twin mom), I know how difficult and challenging life can be. This is why I strive to be meet clients wherever they are in their journey. Often times, we don't need or even want someone to tell us all the things to do, but instead want the support of someone walking with us through life's challenges.
I am a proud double duke of James Madison University. I received my BA in Psychology with a Minor in Family Studies. Then stayed to receive my M.A. and Ed.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. From there my counseling journey led me to complete my internship in a private practice clinic in Knoxville, TN as my husband finished his own education. Next, I worked with Youth Villages as an Intensive In Home Counselor. And most recently, worked as a Mental Health Outpatient Counselor with New River Valley Community Services (NRVCS) where I completed my VA residency and became an LPC.
In all of the clinical settings I have practiced, I have worked with a wide range of clients. The main population that I have served is children and adolescents. I am working to expand my knowledge and clinical expertise to also include more adults. My clinical trainings have included Play Therapy, CBT, TF-CBT, and EMDR.
I’m a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to helping individuals across the life span achieve mental health balance and resilience. My approach combines medication management with supportive therapy, always tailored to your unique needs.
Clients often describe me as compassionate, collaborative, and practical. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, or life transitions, I provide evidence-based care in a welcoming environment where you can feel heard and supported.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for therapists in Colonial Heights starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Many people look for care related to anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for specific life stages. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, session structure, and the concerns they often work with.
Colonial Heights is a smaller city, so nearby in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger Virginia markets. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Virginia. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy costs can add up without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer in-person or virtual care. You can review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
