Therapists in 20165

Sometimes you may feel tired and hopeless, or feel close to breaking down. Sometimes you may feel defeated, frustrated, or lost. The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with years of experience providing clinical treatment and therapy to those who find themselves unhappy, stuck, or struggling with life's obstacles. I have had the privilege and opportunity to work in a variety of settings including a residential crisis stabilization unit, a state psychiatric facility, a county jail, and a homeless shelter.

As a therapist I work with individuals, couples and families of various cultural backgrounds, socioeconomic status, life stage and compositions. I enjoy working with heterosexual and LGBTQ+ clients. I work with clients that want to manage their mental health diagnosis, PTSD, anxiety related to various issues including family and partner relationships, abuse, acute and chronic trauma, life transitional stress, occupational and academic stress, and their relationship with themselves. I enjoy working with families and couples that struggle with setting boundaries, parenting styles, and relationship transitions.

With every day changing so rapidly and the increase in uncertainty, life presents us with new obstacles and challenges that we might not expect. It takes great strength and courage to ask for help when you need it. I help clients with improving body image, increasing self-esteem, mood disorders, eating disorders, and identity challenges. As a minority myself, I have experience helping clients work through processing cultural barriers and unfair treatment. I am also passionate about working with BIPOC and the South Asian population. I also provide letters for gender affirming care.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the commonwealth of Virginia, I have 15 years experience partnering with adults, children, couples, and families, seeking help with adjusting to life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationship issues and long lasting mental health challenges. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Master of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University. I value a person-centered, collaborative and integrative approach to treatment.

I view counseling and therapy as a means of self actualization ,where people can become comfortable in their own skins. Problems causing pain in the present are addressed as well as developing an understanding of each person's history in a way that allows the person to keep the positives but "unlearn" the lessons that interfere with current life satisfaction.Being understood and understanding oneself can bring comfort. I bring my professional training and experience to bear and provide a safe,confidential environment where this work can be done.

Finding a meaningful relationship can be difficult, and so can maintaining one! Both can lead to anxiety, hopelessness, heartbreak, trust issues, and compromised self-esteem. Relationships and dating can be a messy and hectic process, despite technological advances and seemingly endless advice.

Whether it's incompatibility, betrayal, or the numerous other challenges that arise, just know you're not alone. I'm here to work with you and provide support on your journey of healing, self-discovery, and authentic living.

Are you struggling in your relationships? With meeting your daily obligations? Overwhelmed by life circumstances? Therapy can provide relief in a multitude of ways: developing healthier, more fulfilling relationships; alleviating and coping with the stresses of daily living; and understanding one's behavior and thought patterns in order to make productive choices and reach one's full potential in relationships, at home, and in the workplace. When one becomes overwhelmed by the relationships and responsibilities of their daily life - to include marriage, family, work, and school - therapy can get life back on track. Finding a therapist whom one trusts is an essential part of therapy.
