I focus on three areas I have come to know deeply, both clinically and personally: complex and generational trauma, adult children of narcissistic or emotionally immature parents, and prenatal/postpartum mental health. I can appreciate and understand the feeling of the rug being pulled out from under you and having to create a new identity after these experiences.
Together, we explore how inherited patterns shape identity, relationships, and self-worth.
Because I know how painful it can be to live with patterns you did not choose, I offer therapy that is both compassionate and practical, a space where you can feel understood, make sense of your experiences, and begin moving forward with more clarity, self-trust, and intention with you as the lead expert of your experience.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding therapists in Newport News starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or a major life change. As you compare Newport News therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a mid-sized city like Newport News, your best fit may depend on both clinical focus and practical details. Some people prefer in-person therapy near home, work, or school, while others choose virtual appointments for more scheduling options. As you narrow your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, has appointment times that fit your calendar, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, areas of focus, and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Newport News can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, shows estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and lets you schedule directly when you’re ready. This makes it easier to compare fit, cost, and availability in one place.
