My name is Linda, I am a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC). The cornerstone of our practice is about providing quality, compassionate, and comprehensive mental health services through a biopsychosocial approach. Our focus is to help individuals improve their mental health and quality of life, as well as to heal and become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a neutral, nonjudgmental, safe space, where your concerns are heard, and you are encouraged to be an active participant of your treatment plan.

​

My experience has given me the opportunity to work closely with adults, children/adolescents experiencing symptoms of ADHD, autism, ODD, ID, depression, anxiety, bipolar, PTSD, personality disorders, schizophrenia, and OCD.

Welcome! I’m Heather, a Licensed Professional Counselor and board-approved clinical supervisor, and I’m dedicated to providing thoughtful, client-centered care and professional guidance. If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in an overthinking spiral, you’re not alone. Many teens and young adults feel pressure to keep up with school, work, relationships, and expectations, while quietly struggling with motivation, confidence, and emotional exhaustion. I enjoy working with Gen Z clients navigating anxiety, ADHD, depression, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and stress related to school or life transitions. My style is highly relational and collaborative, offering a supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all in therapy.

Health Psychotherapist with 12+ years experience at the intersection of trauma, life transitions, mental health, and medical issues-including 10-years at the Veterans Health Administration working with men, women, young professionals, and older adults.

Treatment Issues: PTSD, Trauma, Life Transitions, Anxiety, Relationship & Career Issues, Men's Issues, Personal Growth, Depression, Peri (Menopause), Illness & Injury, Stress, Self-Esteem, Boundaries, Optimizing & Coping Skills.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor trained in somatic interventions, sex therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering individual therapy for adults 18+ across Virginia. I specialize in relational trauma, identity, cultural and religious harm, intimacy, and the ways disconnection shows up in the body and in our closest relationships.

My practice is rooted in a liberation-based, somatic lens, centering people navigating systemic harm, cultural and intergenerational trauma, sexuality, and the slow work of coming back to themselves. I bring experience from residential, community mental health, and private practice settings, and I hold deep respect for the resilience, complexity, and wisdom each person carries into the room.

I believe that everyone deserves a space to feel heard as they navigate in a new direction, away from feeling disconnected, stuck, and isolated.

I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, and other issues rooted in complex trauma. I enjoy working with adult children of alcoholics and dysfunctional families who tend to struggle with various problems such as people pleasing, overthinking, and hypervigilance.

I work with adults who are ready to engage deeply in their healing and personal evolution. Many of my clients have spent much of their lives in caregiving roles: parents, adult children caring for aging family members, partners, healthcare professionals, teachers, therapists, or those who naturally take on the role of “the strong one.” While meaningful, these roles can also lead to overwhelm, burnout, and a pattern of overfunctioning that leaves little room for your own needs.

You may have already experienced therapy and are now seeking something more integrative; an approach that moves beyond coping into clarity, embodiment, and empowerment. Often, my clients come in recognizing that they’ve been conditioned to prioritize others, and are ready to explore the patterns, beliefs, and internal narratives that have shaped that way of being.

In our work together, you are met with compassion as we uncover these patterns and begin the process of reconnecting you with your own needs, values, and inner authority. This is not about becoming someone new, but about returning to yourself.

I provide psychotherapy using a personalized, trauma-informed approach that integrates somatic practices, nervous system regulation, shadow work, ecotherapy, transpersonal hypnotherapy, guided meditation, breathwork, reflective writing, and ritual-based practices.

This is a space where your growth, healing, and wholeness are honored...a journey of uncovery, discovery, and love.

My home base is North Carolina. I serve clients in NC, NJ, VA, FL and CA.
