I received my bachelor's from James Madison University and a Master of Arts from Lesley University in Expressive Therapy.
I am a native to the Hampton Roads area specializing in children, teens and families. One of the most important aspects of therapy is the ability to truly listen and connect with clients. I offer a range of therapeutic options that will allow a deeper sense of self and connection with others.
I have over 40 years of experience in mental health practice. I believe that we work together to help you be the best version of yourself. I am trauma therapy certified, anger management certified and work with teens and adults. I specialize in anxiety, depression and trauma issues as well as Adult Children of Alcoholics. We are a team working together to help you improve your life situations
I apply a holistic and person-centered approach to therapy. I recognize that by creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic environment, clients can learn to redefine dysfunctional boundaries, to reconnect with a sense of meaning for their lives, and to ultimately make lasting changes in their lives and relationships. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in navigating life transitions, grief, depression, anxiety, gender identity, sexual identity, trauma, OCD, narcissistic abuse, adult children of emotionally immature parents, and relationship strain.
I believe that we are all a work in progress, including myself. I want therapy to feel safe, productive and supportive.

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Searching for ADHD therapists in Norfolk starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with executive function, organization, time management, emotional regulation, and patterns that affect school, work, or relationships. Some therapists use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, skills-based support, or coaching-informed strategies. Medication management is different and is handled by psychiatrists or other qualified prescribers. Adults, teens, and children may also need different types of ADHD support, so review each therapist’s listed specialties, age groups, and approach before you book.
In a mid-size city like Norfolk, your options may include therapists near downtown, Ghent, Ocean View, or nearby Hampton Roads communities, along with virtual appointments across Virginia. Virtual care can expand your choices if local appointment times are limited or if you want a therapist with experience in both ADHD and common co-occurring concerns like anxiety or depression. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe session structure. A therapist’s bio can help you understand how they work with ADHD day to day, not just whether ADHD appears on their specialty list.
Therapy in Norfolk can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find ADHD therapists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and accept a wide range of insurance plans. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
