I help people heal from trauma, with a special focus on sexual trauma, and I’ve been honored to support a wide range of individuals — including women, men, military veterans, and LGBTQIA clients — as they work through their experiences and take meaningful steps toward healing. I also enjoy helping people work through challenging life transitions (e.g., parenthood, divorce, etc.) and identity-specific concerns (e.g., men's issues, women's issues, gender identity exploration). In addition to individual therapy, I also provide relationship therapy for monogamous, non-monogamous, and open relationships as well as psychological assessment (e.g., ADHD, dementia, learning disorder, mental health) for adults.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Virginia Beach

Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Virginia Beach starts with identifying what kind of support matters most to you. Some people are looking for help with anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns in a space where their identity is understood and respected. Others may want a provider with specific experience in areas like coming out, gender identity, or navigating discrimination. Knowing your priorities can help you narrow your search and feel more confident in your choice.

Virginia Beach and the broader Hampton Roads area are home to a diverse community, including a large military population. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has identified themselves as LGBTQIA+-affirming and has experience with your specific concerns. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach, background, and whether they may be a good match. Many providers also offer a free introductory phone call so you can ask questions and see if you feel comfortable before committing to a session.

Therapy in Virginia Beach can be expensive without insurance, but using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before booking. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Whether you prefer in-person sessions in the Virginia Beach area or virtual appointments from home, affirming care that fits your budget is within reach.
