Personal Statement

Trauma has a way of convincing you that you're stuck, broken, or always waiting for the next bad thing to happen. The good news? None of that has to be your forever. I work with young adults who are tired of just surviving. Whether you're dealing with PTSD, childhood trauma, anxiety, relationship patterns that keep repeating themselves, or emotions that seem to have a mind of their own, we'll figure it out together. My therapy style is anything but robotic. I show up as a real person, and I invite you to do the same. Therapy with me is collaborative, creative, and tailored to who you are.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Norfolk, VA

Searching for therapists in Norfolk starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare therapists, look for training and specialties that match what you want to address. A therapist’s profile can also show their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Norfolk has a range of therapy options, from local offices near neighborhoods like Ghent, Freemason, and Larchmont to virtual appointments across Virginia. If your schedule changes often, virtual therapy may make it easier to find appointment times that fit. If you prefer meeting in person, location, commute time, and office availability may matter more. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for details on communication style, session structure, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Norfolk can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, add your insurance details, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can compare therapists, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
