Therapists for college students near University of Richmond

Sometimes we can find ourselves stuck in patterns that are making us unhappy because of how our past has wounded us! I work to build a safe and helpful space in therapy to help my clients face and work through the parts of themselves that are holding them back. I believe therapy is a collaborative work between my client and myself, in which we can work together to build goals and then work towards those goals. I have experience with clients going through life adjustments, anxiety, depression, marital strife, traumatic experiences, and personality disorders.

My psychotherapy practice is dedicated to the health and well-being of individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, family of origin conflicts, interpersonal difficulties, and other issues that can develop in the face of life stressors. It’s not uncommon to experience emotional distress as a result of facing transitions throughout our lives. Challenges can include struggles within our own families of origin (including relationships with a sibling, parent, grandparent or other family member), beginning college/a new career, illness, relocation, and loss and bereavement. How we respond is unique to each of us and at times it can be helpful to have the support of a therapist to make sense of it all and to assist you in returning to living the life you want to live. Seeking therapy shows personal strength and motivation and my professional training allows me to help you gain a greater understanding of yourself by examining behaviors, identifying interpersonal difficulties, and learning more effective communication strategies and behaviors to improve relationships. This takes place in a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential space where you’re free to explore the issues that are important to you. And because I do not work with any outside agency or insurance provider, your private information remains private.

There isn’t anything more important than your mental health and wellness. We exist with the sole purpose of improving yours. Sometimes being heard and having the support of a therapist can change everything. Kinder Mind offers talk therapy via phone or video to individuals and couples in Virginia.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of yourself as you navigate school, relationships, or big life decisions? Many young adults find themselves juggling high expectations, constant pressure, and uncertainty about the future - often while quietly feeling stuck, disconnected, or exhausted. I work with college students and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression stress, and life transitions. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can talk openly, better understand yourself, and develop practical tools to manage emotions and challenges. My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in evidence-based practices, allowing us to gently explore how past experiences may be impacting you in the present. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to your comfort. Together, we'll focus on building self-compassion, emotional resilience, and a stronger sense of clarity and confidence as you move forward. If you're considering taking the next step, I would be honored to support you on that journey.

The pressure in college can be really insane. Trying to keep up with your school work and still be a good friend and daughter, not to mention all of the other balls you juggle can feel untenable. You’re learning more about yourself everyday, and that means your relationships are changing too. This time in your life should be about excitedly preparing for your future. If anxiety, self consciousness, relationship issues or even traumatic stuff from your past is over shadowing that, I can help. Let’s get you back to feeling good. You and I will meet over a secure online video connection. This makes it easier to fit into your already full schedule and we can sort through the hard stuff together.

I am a clinical social worker with over a decade of experience. I practice affirming, allied, feminist therapy rooted in empowerment and strengths perspectives. I believe sleep, calories, and movement form the foundation for coping. My style of therapy is based in the knowledge that you are the best expert on your life. Your feelings may be unreliable narrators and together we will question their perspectives. I use behavioral activation, psychodynamic, and solution focused approaches to empower you to achieve your goals and tolerate your reality. I also believe that gummy peaches are the superior candy, music creates an entry to feeling, and belly laughs are as essential as hugs. I am a left-handed elder millennial. I am originally from Maine, and after years of travel, now live in rural Virginia with my husband and three young children (and giant dog).

The clients I connect with most tend to have one thing in common: they’re used to holding everything together — for everyone else. They’re the ones people go to for answers, for help, for strength. On the outside, they might look like they’re managing just fine. But inside, they feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted. Many are students, professionals, caregivers, or first-generation Americans, and immigrants juggling multiple identities and expectations. Some are navigating life transitions, chronic illness, or burnout. Others are high-achievers who suddenly feel stuck or lost. They don’t just want a quick fix — they want to understand why they’re feeling this way, and how to get back to themselves. That’s where I come in. My approach isn’t one-size-fits-all. We’ll look at your mental health in the context of your life, culture, and values — not just a checklist of symptoms. We’ll work together to build something sustainable: confidence, clarity, and tools that actually work in your world. If that sounds like you, we might be a good fit. You don’t have to do this alone.

I focus on helping individuals feel seen, supported, and understood. My practice philosophy aligns naturally with the "waypoint" theme—viewing therapy as a collaborative space where you can pause, re-orient, and make progress at your own pace.

I am a born and raised Southern girl and now a recent transplant to Virginia. I'm a licensed clinical social worker in both Virginia and Georgia and have 22+ years’ experience working with adults and young (college aged) adults. My specialities include anxiety, depression, ADHD, and stress. I especially enjoy assisting women with meeting their treatment goals! Additionally, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I also offer EMDR intensives when appropriate and Adult ADHD Evaluations. I believe my job is to assist you with resolving your concerns in the most effective, efficient way possible. I primarily utilize brief solution focused and cognitive behavioral therapy.

In the midst of the serious work of therapy, I seek to help others find hope, humor, and a renewed joy for life. As part of a solution focused approach, I encourage clients to pursue a holistic approach to health- incorporating exercise, proper sleep and nutrition, spiritual practices, healthy relationships, and enjoyable activities.
