Would you like to feel more in control of your life? More comfortable in your own skin? To finally heal old wounds? Change is possible and you will be warmly welcomed here. Therapy isn't always easy but it can be energizing, fun, and something you look forward to. It's vital to find a therapist who is a great match for you. My style is direct, friendly & collaborative using humor & psychoeducation without judgment. Together we'll discover unmet needs that may be blocking you. Other services available are pre-bariatric surgery assessments and follow-up care. I especially enjoy working on anger management and self-confidence!
Anxiety, Motivation, Overeating, Binge Eating & Body Image are my specialties. I'm passionate about working with clients that are ready to develop shame-free, long-term strategies for behavior change. For those recovering from dealing with a Narcissist or an emotionally abusive relationship, you'll find a safe, supportive space to heal and learn new tools.
At Virginia Health Counseling, we believe in collaboration and will work with your other health care providers to identify what is blocking change. Through our highly trained interns, we are able to offer low-cost options ranging from $0-75 for individual and group counseling. Schedule your appointment online now. You can feel better. We can help.
