About

Customers choose to work with me because I bring a strong sense of purpose, professionalism, and clarity to the work I do. I care deeply about creating spaces where people feel safe, respected, and supported. My passion for helping individuals grow—personally, emotionally, and professionally—has guided my journey as both a therapist and a coach.

For GIFT Counseling and Consulting, PLLC, therapy is a licensed clinical service offered only to residents of the states where I am licensed (Virginia and South Carolina). I provide structured, values‑aligned support and maintain a safe, nonjudgmental environment for clients to explore their experiences and build healthier patterns.

GIFT also does business as VALID Truths Coaching to support individuals who want to work with me but do not live in a licensed state. Coaching is non‑clinical and focuses on clarity, emotional steadiness, belief reconstruction, and personal development. Coaching packages are available and can be customized to meet individual needs.

Since 2018 and across both services, I bring learned and lived experiences, ongoing professional development, and a commitment to ethical, transparent care. I believe in treating people fairly, maintaining my own wellness, and continually learning so I can offer meaningful guidance. My goal is to help people feel supported, grounded, and equipped to move forward without feeling like they have to handle everything alone.

Frequently asked questions

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

For Virginia residents, therapy begins by booking through my secure online portal. Clients select an appointment time, choose their payment option (insurance or self‑pay), and complete all required intake forms before their first session. All therapy sessions are virtual unless otherwise specified. For clients outside of Virginia, coaching is offered through VALID Truths Coaching. New coaching clients begin with a 30‑minute Focus Meeting to review what they want to work on, discuss available programs and pricing, and determine whether coaching is the right fit.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I have a graduate‑level education in the mental health field and formal training in areas related to emotional wellness, behavioral health, and supportive services. My background includes supervised clinical training, work with individuals across different age groups, and experience providing structured support in professional mental health settings. This foundation allows me to offer therapy to Virginia residents through GIFT Counseling & Consulting PLLC and coaching to out‑of‑state clients through VALID Truths Coaching.

Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.

Therapy pricing varies based on insurance or self‑pay. Clients should call the office number listed in the quote to speak with the billing department for details. Coaching pricing is reviewed during the Focus Meeting, where clients receive clear information about session rates and available coaching packages.

How did you get started in this business?

I began working in the mental health field as a Qualified Mental Health Professional in Virginia in 2018. Through this work, I saw the need for deeper, more structured support, which led me to pursue graduate training and eventually open GIFT Counseling & Consulting PLLC for therapy services. Coaching later expanded through VALID Truths Coaching to support clients outside of Virginia.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I work with Virginia residents seeking therapy support related to emotional wellness, stress management, life transitions, and building healthy boundaries. For individuals outside of Virginia, I provide coaching focused on clarity, structure, personal growth, and values‑aligned decision‑making. Both services support people who want a structured, goal‑oriented process to improve their overall well‑being and daily functioning.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.

A recent event I am fond of is launching my Belief Reconstruction Program. Creating this program has been a meaningful milestone, allowing me to bring together the tools, structure, and clarity that support both personal growth and emotional steadiness. I’m proud of the work that went into developing it and excited to offer a resource that helps people rebuild their beliefs in a healthier, more grounded way.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?

When choosing a professional, make sure they clearly explain the difference between therapy and coaching, especially if they offer both. For GIFT Counseling and Consulting, PLLC, therapy is a licensed clinical service and is available only to residents of the states where the provider is licensed. GIFT also does business as VALID Truths Coaching to support individuals who want to work with GIFT but do not live in a state where the provider is licensed. Coaching is non‑clinical and focuses on clarity, structure, personal growth, and values‑aligned decision‑making. It’s also important to understand your insurance coverage. Licensed providers cannot change or adjust your insurance plan, so knowing what your plan allows will help you make informed decisions.

What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?

Do I need therapy or coaching? For GIFT Counseling and Consulting, PLLC, therapy is a licensed clinical service and is available only to residents of the states where the provider is licensed. GIFT also does business as VALID Truths Coaching to support individuals who want to work with GIFT but do not live in a licensed state. Coaching is non‑clinical and focuses on clarity, structure, and personal growth. What type of support am I looking for right now? Consider whether you want help with emotional wellness, boundaries, life transitions, or personal development goals. What level of structure do I prefer? Think about whether you want a more guided, goal‑oriented process or a flexible, exploratory approach. What is my availability and commitment level? Reflect on how often you can meet and how consistent you want your sessions to be. What are my financial considerations? For therapy, understand your insurance coverage and any self‑pay options. For coaching, consider which package fits your needs. Coaching packages can be customized, so think about the level of support, frequency, and structure you want.
