Cardinal & Lotus: Therapy Talks is a new therapy podcast launching soon, featuring honest conversations about mental health, relationships, and meaningful personal growth.

I have a few remaining December 2025 therapy openings for new online clients across Virginia. If you’ve been wanting to start therapy before the end of the year, now is the time—these spots fill quickly. Schedule your consultation today.

December is when stress, anxiety, and relationship tension hit their peak — which is why this month is one of the strongest times to begin therapy. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or ready for change, starting now can help you enter 2026 with clarity and stability. I’m currently accepting new online therapy clients across Virginia with limited December openings available.

Building Cardinal Light Counseling mirrored the same process I guide clients through: leaning into discomfort, trusting growth, and staying curious about what comes next. Designing the logo, building the website, writing blogs, and learning to use social media for the first time to share my work were all new forms of vulnerability. I’ve never been someone who enjoys self-promotion (personally and professionally) - I used to downplay my accomplishments. But the more I saw my clients’ reflections of how our work together had changed their lives, the more I realized it was time to take up space and own my story. If I want others to love themselves, I have to model what it looks like to celebrate my own journey too.
