I specialize in helping individuals and couples heal from trauma, attachment wounds, and relational pain through an attachment-based, experiential approach rooted in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP).
My work is informed by attachment science and neuroscience, and grounded in the belief that healing happens within safe, emotionally attuned relationships. AEDP recognizes that when emotional pain is met with genuine connection, compassion, and support, the nervous system naturally moves toward healing, integration, and greater resilience.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Virginia Beach
Finding a postpartum therapist in Virginia Beach starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Perinatal mental health covers a range of experiences — from postpartum depression and anxiety to mood changes during pregnancy. A licensed provider who specializes in perinatal care can help you understand what you're going through and work with you on a plan that fits your situation. Look for credentials like PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certification) or experience with perinatal mood and anxiety disorders when reviewing provider profiles.
Virginia Beach and the surrounding Hampton Roads area have a strong community of mental health providers, but narrowing your options can still take time — especially when you're adjusting to life with a new baby. Consider what matters most to you, whether that's a provider who offers virtual sessions, specializes in a specific approach like CBT, or has experience with the particular challenges you're facing. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you feel more confident about the fit.
Postpartum therapy in Virginia Beach can be expensive without insurance coverage. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book.
