Welcome! My passion is helping children, adolescents, and adults flourish through uncovering their strengths, building resilience, and learning healthy ways to cope with various life stressors. I encourage my clients to be themselves, without any fear of judgement during our sessions together. I enjoy working with all ages and address depression, behavioral issues, life transitions, grief, and anxiety. 

Additionally, I am a former Early Childhood educator, perinatal parent-child attachment support, and human services provider with over 18 years of experience across different cultural settings. In my work with young children and teens I like to incorporate art expression, play therapy, trauma focused CBT, and sensory integration techniques for self-regulation and adaptation. When working with young children and adolescents my goal is to equip individuals with tools and skills they need to cope with adversity while also enhancing emotional strength and well-being.

Life is ideally joyful and fulfilling, but most of us have experienced times in which we struggle to process difficult situations and complex emotions. We may feel isolated, stuck, or overwhelmed by life events and seek guidance and support to get back to an emotional equilibrium. Therapy can be a powerful way to discover our inner strength and make changes that empower us as individuals and facilitate our growth, resilience, and well-being. ​

Kyle Darmstead

Clinical Intern

As a former student-athlete, coach, and mental performance consultant, I bring nearly two decades of experience in the world of sports. I competed at the collegiate level in baseball at Christopher Newport University and was a multi-sport athlete in high school, earning varsity letters in baseball, basketball, and golf. This background has shaped my understanding of the unique mental and emotional demands athletes face. I believe resilience and confidence are not just traits but skills that can be developed through intentional training—both on and off the field. My approach is rooted in helping individuals harness these strengths to improve performance, manage pressure, and thrive in all areas of life. I utilize a person-centered approach and integrate Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in therapy sessions. One of my favorite quotes is, “That which you most need will be found where you least want to look.” — Carl Jung. Therapy often asks us to explore the uncomfortable or unfamiliar—but that’s where real growth happens. I look forward to being on this journey with you

Walk and Talk Therapy is a Holistic approach to therapy that offers a unique therapeutic experience. Being outdoors acts as a calming natural environment, as you breathe in the fresh air and feel the warmth of the sun. You might find that the stress, worry, or fears you are experiencing slowly start to fade away as your body naturally starts to heal. This approach helps people learn how to use the outdoors/nature as an opportunity to think about things in a more positive way.
