Soft Reins Counseling is a Virginia-based mental health practice providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy for teens and adults through secure telehealth. I support clients across Virginia who are navigating trauma, stress, life transitions, emotional regulation challenges, and relationship concerns.

Services include trauma-informed counseling, ADHD and autism support, addiction-related concerns, parenting support, and relationship therapy. My approach is affirming, strengths-based, and grounded in evidence-based care, offering a calm and supportive space for meaningful growth and healing.

At Soft Reins Counseling, therapy is never rushed or one-size-fits-all. I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy for teens and adults using a calm, thoughtfully paced approach that prioritizes emotional safety, trust, and genuine connection.

Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I work collaboratively with clients to understand the whole picture—including experiences, strengths, and goals—so therapy feels meaningful, supportive, and sustainable. This approach is especially helpful for clients navigating trauma, ADHD, autism, emotional regulation challenges, addiction and life transitions.
