I believe prioritizing mental health is key to living a well-balanced, fulfilling, and stable life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest steps, so congratulations on taking that step for yourself. My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct, blending traditional talk therapy with mindfulness and body-based approaches to help clients feel more grounded, connected, and confident. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel truly seen and understood while also helping them build practical tools for healing, emotional resilience, and lasting growth.
I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can show up just as you are. I work with people navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions—especially those feeling stuck or overwhelmed by change. Healing starts with feeling heard, and that’s at the heart of my approach. With over a decade of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I’m here to walk beside you—with compassion, presence, and evidence-based tools for healing.
Hi there!
I have a desire to support change, advancement, and self-efficacy. My 30+ year background includes working with all populations with specialized areas in crisis, ID/DD, trauma, veterans, and behavior health. Although licensed in professional counseling, I am completing my Ph.D. in Counseling and Psychology.
Whether you're struggling to manage a situational concern or have complications arising from mental health or relational co complexities, l am here to assist you!
Hi, I’m Ethan
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Divine Mercy University. My training and experience focus on trauma, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy.
I believe people are naturally inclined to grow and thrive. Emotions are not just things to manage; they are strengths we can use to live well. I value each client’s story and creating a safe space to share it. I draw on attachment-based ideas, which say people heal best in secure, connected relationships—neither fully dependent nor completely independent, but interdependent.
I work with depression, anxiety, acute/chronic/complex trauma, and relationship distress. I treat individuals of all ages, as well as couples and families.
Credentials and training:
- Certified Clinical Traumatologist
- Level 1 and 2 Emotion-Focused Family Therapy
- Core skills in Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Norfolk, VA
Searching for family therapists in Norfolk starts with finding someone whose experience matches what your family is working through. Family therapy can support parenting conflict, adolescent challenges, blended family dynamics, co-parenting concerns, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person, so their bios may mention work with parents, children, siblings, couples, or extended family members. As you compare options, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience with the age groups involved.
In Norfolk, a usable match often depends on both location and scheduling. You may prefer an in-person therapist near home, school, or work, while virtual appointments can make it easier to include family members in different places or with different schedules. Family therapy sessions may include the full family, smaller groups, or individual members at different points in care. Before booking, read each therapist’s profile to understand their session structure, availability, communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to discuss fit.
Family therapy in Norfolk can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket cost and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway lets you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, enter your insurance details, and see estimated session costs before you book. From there, you can review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
