Group meets in Fairfax, VA 22030
I specialize in working with adults and young women who have experienced traumatic events (childhood sexual abuse, rape, domestic violence, physical abuse, car accidents, military trauma, etc) and are experiencing trauma symptoms. The traumatic event may also lead to emotional dysregulation, self harm behaviors, hospitalizations and/or a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder, among many other disorders. I also have a passion for working with veterans of post 9/11 wars who have a diagnosis of PTSD. My goal is to help others find and achieve their "life worth living".

Group meets in Great Falls, VA 22066
Perhaps you are seeking therapy for a specific concern: depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting support, relational issues, or personal loss. Or maybe, you are entering counseling for less easily defined goals, such as self-awareness, creating a more meaningful life, increasing resilience, or personal empowerment. Whatever brings you to counseling, I will work to provide a safe and supportive space for you to engage in the therapeutic process.
These 13 week DBT Skills groups run every 17 weeks and meets over Zoom. The groups are separated according to age and we currently have 2 teen groups and 2 adult groups running. These groups are comprehensive skills group that will go over the 4 modules of DBT. Each group member will be required to work with a primary therapist and provide authorization for the group leader to provide weekly updates. Members will be asked to complete diary cards weekly as well as behavioral chains, and will be filling their "tool box" with tools throughout the group.

Self-Harming Support Groups
How does therapy for self-harm work?
A person may turn to self-injury so that they can distract themselves from their stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances. Therapy can address the cause of an individual’s suffering. A therapist can help a person understand why they may want to self-harm and help the person learn new methods of coping. A person may have poor emotion regulation, and treatment such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is helpful for breaking this behaviour. In addition, treatment such as dialectical behavior therapy can help a person manage their tolerance of distress.
Which therapies are best for self-harm?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, and mentalisation-based therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are common approaches for people who have painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual cope with distress, regulate emotions, and manage impulsive urges.
Does the tendency to self-harm mean the person is suicidal?
Having this urge does not mean the individual suffers from suicidal ideation. People who want to self-injure look to distract or alleviate themselves from the pain they are experiencing. People with suicidal tendencies want to end life altogether. However, this does not mean a person with the intent to self-harm will not attempt suicide.
How often and how long are therapy sessions for self-harm?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Clients may see improvement within 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, maybe, a six-month period. People, especially those with co-occurring conditions like depression and anxiety, may need to continue therapy for up to 12 to 18 months.
