Anxiety Therapists in Virginia

I work with adults who struggle to effectively manage demands, feel burnt out, and are constantly shifting to accommodate their varying needs but never feel steady. I work from an integrative approach with a focus on helping you find relief from painful emotions, increase self-understanding, and learn valuable skills to make effective change. It is possible to feel stable and secure and to have healthy, fulfilling relationships and life. I can help!

As a pre-licensed intern, my goal is to empower you to make positive changes. I work under the supervision of Dr. Angela Waggoner as I complete full licensing requirements in Texas. I earned a Master’s degree from Liberty University in 2008, and I earned a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Southampton. I am currently in a degree program to update coursework and meet licensing requirements. I am certified in mindfulness-based stress reduction and certified clinical trauma professional. I have a great deal of experience working with children, adolescents, and families in crisis. I utilize trauma-informed care as I teach mindfulness techniques for emotional regulation to help manage anxiety, depression, anger, and other difficulties. I have completed Level 1 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and I use this in my work.
