Mental health counseling is a form of help that can be tailored to meet the diverse needs of many individuals. Some mental health professionals, including me, intentionally incorporate spiritual or religious elements into their therapeutic practices. I do so because I primarily serve a Christian community, because my clients also adhere to religious principles in their own lives, and I subscribe to the belief that people experiencing distress can especially benefit from the help of God and spiritual empowerment.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with over 22 years of experience in the mental health field. I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of settings, including social services as a child abuse investigator, outpatient counseling with children, adolescents, and families, inpatient psychiatric care, clinical leadership roles, and doctoral-level research on family caregiver stress and coping, which I later published.

I work with adolescents ages 14 and up as well as adults, and I specialize in supporting people through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, codependency, domestic violence, chronic health conditions, mood concerns, parenting stress, life transitions, and PTSD.

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 Therapist in Sterling

Finding the right therapist in Sterling, VA starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, from anxiety and depression to relationship challenges, life transitions, and stress. Providers hold different licenses — such as LPC, LCSW, LMFT, or psychologist — and may specialize in approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), or trauma-informed care. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their background and decide if they're a good match before you book.

Sterling is part of the broader Loudoun County area, with many providers also serving nearby communities like Ashburn, Leesburg, and Reston. Some therapists offer in-person sessions at local offices, while others are available for virtual appointments — giving you more flexibility to fit therapy into your schedule. If you're open to virtual visits, you may have access to a wider selection of providers across Virginia.

Therapy in Northern Virginia can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and your out-of-pocket cost may be as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist in Sterling who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
