Counseling and Psychotherapy for Adults Throughout Virginia

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and owner of Sunlight Counseling PLLC.  I have over 20 years of experience in the healing profession in a variety of settings ranging from outpatient therapy, residential settings and community-based treatment for children, teens, adults, and families.  As an outpatient therapist in the private sector, I work closely with adults dealing with relationship issues, trauma, career/work concerns, "adulting", grief/ loss, anxiety, and conflict resolution.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with over eight years of experience providing clinical services to a wide range of individuals. Throughout my work, I have assisted adults, adolescents and families improve communication, navigate crises, build healthier relationships, and create lasting change. I have supported adults with co-occurring mental health diagnoses to overcome challenges related to trauma, life transitions, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, unhealthy boundaries, and difficult relationships. 

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 8 years of experience in the field. I am dedicated to providing a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients can embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing.  My academic experience includes a Bachelor of Psychology and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Old Dominion University. I also have additional training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectal Behavioral Therapy.

As a licensed therapist with a passion for helping individuals navigate life's challenges, I offer a warm and empathetic approach to therapy. My approach is rooted in the belief that every individual has the capacity for personal growth and self-actualization given the right conditions. I understand that every individual's journey is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs, preferences, and goals. Whether you're grappling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or simply seeking greater self-awareness and fulfillment, I am here to support you every step of the way.
