Therapists for college students near University of Richmond

As a dedicated therapist, I support individuals, and couples ready for meaningful change. I help individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma recovery, and identity exploration who recognize their challenges impact daily life. I guide couples facing communication issues, trust concerns, and intimacy challenges to strengthen bonds and resolve conflicts. I foster a warm atmosphere where clients will find nonjudgemental compassion, empathy and space to share their own experiences and beliefs. If you think we would be a good fit, please reach out to me so we can get started on your healing journey.

“Am I living in a way which is deeply satisfying to me, and which truly expresses me?”- Carl Rogers Life comes with its ebbs and flows and it can be challenging feeling as though you are alone with your worries or feeling trapped in painful patterns or emotions. Beginning therapy is often our first step on the path toward healing. And just by considering this step, you are already taking a leap that requires courage and trust in yourself and your potential therapist.

My purpose is to ultimately help my clients achieve the goals they wish to accomplish. I offer a safe, empathetic and a warm environment. I use interventions that offer not only symptom relief, but also a means to improve emotional connections to the individual and others. I have experience in treating LGBTQIA populations, depression, sexual challenges, anxiety disorders, trauma, bipolar disorder, substance use disorders, chronic pain, chronic illness, disabilities, and disease. As a dedicated psychotherapist, certified substance abuse counselor, and certified sex and couple’s therapist, I use holistic approaches where I treat the whole person and not just the symptoms. Clients who are in non-monogamous, swingers, polyamorous, and/or kink relationships are welcomed.

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.

Do you experience hypervigilance? panic? overwhelm? avoidance? unexplained physical symptoms? Many of my clients didn't realize that their symptoms of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and relationship struggles stem from trauma. Trauma isn't just something soldiers experience — it encompasses so many different life experiences. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to get at the root of your symptoms, rather than putting a bandaid on them for a temporary fix. I'm trained in EMDR 2.0 and the Four Blinks Flash technique, and I use advanced EMDR software to work effectively with clients online. I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) for clients ready to go deeper when talk therapy has reached its limits, along with Internal Family Systems (IFS) and ADHD-informed therapy. I've worked extensively with people in the LGBTQ+ community. If you're interested in working together, reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation — we can decide if we're a good fit. You are making an amazing and brave step in your healing journey!

Client-centered, holistic practice with creative and evidence -based approaches.

College can be intense — full of pressure, transitions, and big questions about who you are and where you’re headed. I offer a calm, compassionate space to slow things down and be with what’s coming up, just as you are, without rushing or fixing. My work is informed by Internal Family Systems (parts work) and mind-body awareness, and is centered on curiosity, presence, and working together. I offer a 15-minute consult as a brief opportunity to connect and ask questions about working together. Students often come to me feeling overwhelmed, self-critical, anxious, or unsure — sometimes carrying stress, family dynamics, perfectionism, or past experiences that still affect them. In our work together, we move gently and at a pace that feels supportive and respectful, paying attention to your inner experience, including how things show up in the body. You don’t need to know exactly what you want to work on or have the right words — we listen together beneath the pressure, creating room for insight, relief, and meaningful change to unfold over time. I have over 10 years of experience supporting people through this kind of inner work. I see therapy as a place where you can feel accompanied as you get to know yourself more deeply and find your own sense of clarity and direction.

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.

Sometimes life keeps throwing curve balls at us and we wonder how many more we can dodge. Dodging these curve balls can cause us to struggle with anxiety, OCD, depression and trauma. Feelings of guilt, future tripping, or needing things a certain way may become a large part of our world. These thoughts can take up space rent free in our minds making us act or behave a certain way to feel better. Or the tiring upkeep can make it feel like we're dragging through life, losing our motivation, or that we're wearing a mask. In moments like these a helping hand is sometimes all we need to regain control over our lives. Like the name of my practice, I believe individuals are also capable of blooming throughout even the most difficult of circumstances. During our sessions together we will work towards achieving your goals. This process will allow you to decompress from life’s daily struggles while learning skills to find your peace and happiness. As a therapist it is my goal to help individuals have a better understanding of themselves, process past pain, and feel confident in moving through life. Feel free to reach out to schedule a free consultation or book an appointment by visiting my website or by calling me. I look forward to seeing you embrace life as you want it.
