I am a clinically trained social worker with more than 40 years of experience. My treatment specialties include depression, anxiety, and grief counseling. I assist with the resolution of work-related concerns. I am also a trained life coach, helping people make decisions related to changes they would like to have in their lives while achieving work/life balance. I also provide behavior modification, problem-solving, and motivation therapy. I work with couples of all kinds, knowing that being a couple or family cannot be defined only in the traditional sense. I take a broad view in this area. The basis for my efforts is insight therapy. I encourage those who work with me to consider how their decisions and actions enhance or impair the attainment of their goals. This type of understanding is critical for making meaningful life changes. My work is for and about you! We will go as far and as fast as you are able. Although I offer clarity in recognizing the issues that concern you, I will never take you where you do not want to go. Our work will be free of judgment, allowing you to speak and respond openly. I will always respect you and value what you share with me. You have made the right decision by embarking on a therapeutic relationship. I hope you choose me to help guide you on that journey.

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here. Life can feel overwhelming at times, and asking for help is one of the bravest decisions you can make. My goal is to provide a welcoming, supportive, and judgment-free space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to create meaningful change. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience helping adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, and burnout.

Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with individuals and families affected by autism, intellectual and developmental disabilities, behavioral health concerns, foster care, adoption, caregiver stress, and complex family dynamics. These experiences have strengthened my ability to meet people with compassion, patience, and respect, regardless of where they are in their journey. I have a special passion for supporting Black women, caregivers, helping professionals, and individuals seeking culturally responsive care. For clients who desire it, I also provide Christian counseling by integrating faith and biblical principles into the therapeutic process in a way that aligns with your personal beliefs and goals.

I utilize evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, strengths-based interventions, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care.

I will meet you with honesty, compassion, and accountability while helping you develop healthier coping skills, strengthen your confidence, improve your relationships, and move toward the life you want to create. You don't have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We'll take it one step at a time, together.

Find a therapist near you in Appomattox, Virginia

Finding a therapist near you in Appomattox, Virginia starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Virginia is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you. 

The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.

Why work with a licensed therapist near you?

Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Virginia, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Virginia, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.

What concerns can therapists help with?

Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals. You can explore support for specific concerns on pages such as generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and eating disorders.

Please note that therapists on BetterHelp do not provide psychiatric medication management or formal diagnoses.

Online therapy vs. in-person therapy in Virginia

Online therapy and in-person therapy both connect you with a licensed professional, and the main difference is how you meet. In Virginia, online therapy through BetterHelp lets you have sessions by phone, video, or in-app messaging, so you can meet from home or on a schedule that fits your life. In-person therapy takes place at an office and may involve travel and set appointment windows. Online therapy may be more accessible for people with busy schedules, limited transportation, or a preference for a more discreet setting. Both formats can support meaningful progress, so the right choice often comes down to what fits your life.

Finding a therapist that accepts insurance in Virginia

BetterHelp accepts insurance through many major insurance plans. Insurance availability and coverage may vary by state, plan, provider network, and therapist availability, and deductible status. Eligible members' average copay is $23 per session.

If you prefer to pay without insurance, BetterHelp subscriptions range from $70 to $100 per week, billed as an alternative way to access the same care, and you can use HSA and FSA funds toward the cost. For a full breakdown of how BetterHelp works with insurance plans, see BetterHelp insurance coverage.
