I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with more than a decade of experience helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, family conflict, parenting concerns, career challenges, ADHD, OCD, and major life transitions. I believe therapy is more than simply reducing symptoms. It can be part of life’s great work: learning who you are, understanding the patterns that shape you, and choosing how you want to live. Difficult seasons often invite us to examine what matters, release what no longer serves us, and move toward a life grounded in greater clarity, meaning, and integrity. My style is warm, engaged, and collaborative. I offer a compassionate space where you can feel heard, while also asking thoughtful questions and respectfully challenging beliefs or patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we will explore both the practical realities of your situation and the deeper themes beneath them—identity, purpose, responsibility, connection, choice, and personal growth. My approach incorporates cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness-based, narrative, attachment-based, solution-focused, and trauma-informed perspectives. When meaningful to you, our work may also draw upon spiritual and philosophical principles such as interconnectedness, intentional living, cause and effect, acceptance, and alignment between your values and actions. This is not about imposing a particular belief system; it is about making room for the sources of wisdom, meaning, and purpose that resonate with you. Seeking help takes courage. If you are ready to begin—or simply ready to become curious about what could change—I would be honored to walk alongside you. I look forward to working with you. Specialties and areas of focus My primary areas of focus include: Stress, anxiety, panic, and feeling overwhelmed Trauma, emotional abuse, and difficult past experiences Family conflict, relationship concerns, and communication difficulties Parenting, fatherhood, and blended-family challenges Major life changes, identity transitions, and uncertainty Motivation, procrastination, confidence, and self-esteem Anger, emotional regulation, and reactive behavior ADHD, concentration, memory, and focus Grief, loss, loneliness, and emotional disconnection Career difficulties, workplace stress, and burnout Attachment, abandonment, codependency, and boundary concerns Intimacy, trust, infidelity, separation, and divorce Men’s issues, young-adult concerns, and midlife transitions Life purpose, personal values, and spiritual growth Guilt, shame, forgiveness, self-compassion, and self-love Obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and OCD Depression, mood difficulties, and feelings of emptiness LGBTQ+ concerns, sexuality, and authentic self-expression I especially enjoy helping people understand recurring patterns, reconnect with their strengths, and translate insight into meaningful action. Our work can address immediate concerns while also exploring the larger question: What is this chapter of your life asking you to learn, change, or become? Clinical approach My clinical approach is integrative, collaborative, and tailored to the individual. I draw from: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to examine the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behavior Client-Centered and humanistic therapy to support authenticity, dignity, and self-directed growth Attachment-Based Therapy to understand how early relationships influence present-day connection Mindfulness-based approaches to strengthen awareness, acceptance, and emotional regulation Narrative Therapy to examine the stories you carry and create space for a more empowering narrative Trauma-informed care to promote safety, choice, trust, and sensitivity to past experiences Solution-focused strategies to identify strengths and translate goals into achievable steps I also welcome spiritually integrated work when it fits the client’s beliefs and preferences. This may involve exploring meaning, purpose, personal responsibility, interconnectedness, inner wisdom, or the relationship between intention and action. Spirituality can be approached through a religious tradition, personal philosophy, connection with nature or humanity, or a simple desire to live with greater awareness and purpose. Therapy with me is both reflective and practical. We may explore where a pattern began, what continues to reinforce it, and what it is protecting you from. We will also identify concrete skills, experiments, and next steps that help you practice change outside the therapy room. The goal is not perfection—it is greater awareness, freedom of choice, and alignment with the person you are becoming.

Find a therapist near you in Mount Crawford, Virginia

Finding a therapist near you in Mount Crawford, 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.
