Therapists for college students near University of Richmond

Many of the students I work best with are navigating stress, anxiety, or big life changes and want a safe place to sort through their feelings. Some are high achievers who feel pressure to “have it all together,” while others are figuring out who they are and how to build healthy relationships. I also connect well with students who may feel different, whether because of culture, identity, or personal experiences, and who want a counselor who will listen without judgment.

Having been on the other side of the chair, I want to you know that the healing process is in your capable hands. This is a challenge but you have everything you need to thrive already with you. Let me be there to reflect, hold space, encourage, and guide you to higher levels of awareness. Together we can create a treatment plan to support the navigation of your emotions, symptoms, communications, and the systems you are a part of. I am formerly a PreK-5 educator and I bring direct, creative, effervescent, nurturing, and bright energy to sessions. We will brainstorm and co-create your treatment plan using expressive techniques, behavior tracking, psycho-education, cathartic interventions, and trauma-informed cognitive challenging. I help clients become their best selves by identifying behaviors, exploring symptoms, and maneuvering creatively. I work from a multicultural and gender-affirming lens. If you think therapy isn't for you or alternatively if you are ready to dive deep into personal work, let me be your guide. I would love to meet you where you are and celebrate your story. I currently have openings for individual clients of all ages (5-65+) and have experience with trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, LGBTQIA+, and polyamory.

You deserve to feel seen, heard, and supported. I help individuals, couples and families navigate the complexities of life, love, and personal growth. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, relationship or friendship challenges, or going through a major life transition, I offer a warm and nonjudgmental space for exploration, insight, and healing. My approach is collaborative and compassionate. I work with clients to explore their emotions, clarify their values, improve their communication and connection in all areas of life. Together we'll identify your strengths and create meaningful change.

As a former high school and college teacher, advisor and coach I transitioned into working with young people primarily as a therapist in 2004. A part of being human is dealing with things that feel painful. It has been said that pain is inevitable but suffering is a choice. Over my 16+ years of work, I have appreciated helping people ease their suffering and cope with painful feelings and experiences. Through safe, open and honest discussion people learn to invite and foster the changes they want to see in their lives and in themselves. Throughout my career, I have worked in communities where I have seen many different people with many different types of lives and struggles. I specialize in being authentic and present with my clients no matter what they bring to the sessions. I consider myself a general practitioner of the art of listening and collaborating to create change. I appreciate working with people to help them understand their internal processes, their environmental challenges and their overall capabilities. It takes a certain courage to engage in therapy and seek help in taking care of oneself. I respect this courage deeply and honor working with others in an authentic, empathic and non-judgmental manner.
