Anxiety & Trauma Therapist in Richmond, VA

The things we are taught growing up or see our loved ones go through can feel inevitable at times. It might be second nature to prioritize everyone else's needs that it even feels wrong to think about yourself. Walking on eggshells and making yourself small are now special skills. You know how to succeed and you do it well. 

But at the end of the day, your body is exhausted. Your mind is tired of running a mile a minute. And your emotions need an outlet before they burst. You're finding yourself dreading family, work, or friend interactions. You want to stop having everything together for a change, but don't know if you are allowed to or how that will be perceived.

You CAN interrupt these inherited cycles and create new ones that work better for you. I invite you to finally give yourself the permission to rest, reset, and choose yourself.

Working with a new therapist can come with a lot of worries or hesitation: "can I trust this stranger? Will they be able to help me? How do I know they will truly understand me?"

I completely understand. I want to make sure you feel like you're able to be your authentic self in session and that we are building a genuine therapeutic relationship together. This means you'll be met with someone who shows up to each session with curiosity, compassion, and a true desire to meet you where you are at and walk along side you in your mental health journey.
