As a PhD and Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in trauma, relationship issues, couples counseling, sexual problems and addictions including pornography, and sexual addictions.

I will work with you to help rebuild your life and get you back to who you want to be.

I would like to congratulate you for taking the time to explore therapy. I know that finding the right therapist takes time and energy and is a decision that shouldn't be taken lightly.

I am the Clinical Director of BiofeedbackWORKS in Virginia, a clinic that offers NEUROFEEDBACK, GENERAL BIOFEEDBACK, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). We specialize in therapies that use positive reinforcement and plasticity of the brain to create better functionality & help regulate the body's parasympathetic nervous system. We offer services to a diverse population, ranging from young children to older adults. Our clients seek our services for mental health issues, traumatic brain injuries, and peak performance goals. At BiofeedbackWORKS we aim to help each client meet their individual goals.

This is a hard time. Sometimes we get stuck and need someone outside of our circle to help us figure things out. I help people to more deeply understand and change negative or addictive behaviors that are dramatically impacting their lives. Relationships can be so complicated, and trying to find different ways to communicate can feel like a mystery. I work with people struggling with all types of addictions, depression, anxiety, bipolar, and personality disorders. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental, compassionate environment where we will work together to explore areas that are causing pain, and we will find new ways to cope.

Very few adults, let alone children or teenagers, jump at the chance to start seeing a therapist. Difficult circumstances might have brought you to this point: communication problems with family members, frequent arguments, feeling stressed out, or having intense feelings of depression and anxiety. I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for my clients. My approach is personal, practical, non judgmental. I work in a variety of ways, depending on your or your child's needs and preference, using cognitive behavioral therapy, art therapy, and play therapy.

Pursuing therapy is a courageous act! I recognize the difficulty of this choice and have great respect for each client who presents themselves to me for help. My aim is to make therapy a safe place where you can express your feelings openly, work through difficult issues and develop tools and solutions. My approach to therapy is to start with a strong relationship based on trust and acceptance, identify your goals and use cognitive behavioral therapy tools to teach you how to look at the ways your thinking patterns influence your feelings about yourself and ultimately how you behave in your life.

There are many challenges we all face in our lives, both external and internal. Maybe you've noticed that things are more difficult than they used to be or you're struggling to find joy and meaning in life. Maybe you're dealing with difficult memories or the impact from your past. Maybe you're struggling to manage the stress of day to day life or to maintain positive relationships. Know that you are not alone in your struggle and you do not have to struggle alone. Whatever it is you may be dealing with there is hope, there is help, and there is healing. You are here so congratulate yourself for taking this step to improve your life.

Hello, my friends, are you feeling a little down, or feeling overwhelmed? Are you a teen or young adult who feels lost or in need of guidance. I have some openings and am looking to fill them. Sorry, I am an ONLINE therapist only, I find once people give it a try they don't mind it. If you want to try it, I offer a free 15 minute trial session. I work well with people who like to talk and find that is a part of their process. Do you find therapy too clinical and would like a little humor? I do my best to find that balance. If you just don't know what you need, I hope you will let me guide you to the right answer.

Being a child is a special time full of curiosity, exploration, and learning. It is also a time when your body is growing, language is developing, social skills are evolving, and your capacity to cope is a work in progress. It doesn’t take much to feel unsure, overwhelmed, stressed, or unseen. Struggles are expressed through emotional and behavioral distress - tantrums, defiance, dysregulation, difficulty with focus, transitions, separation, or withdrawal from others/school/activities. It can also show up as jealousy, attention-seeking, aggression, anxiety, depression, or hyperactivity. PCIT is specifically designed for this stage.

I have worked in many settings including inpatient, outpatient, schools, home based therapy, sexual assault services, respite care, family services, emergency/crisis intervention and community mental health. I am trained and certified in many clinical interventions that allows for an integrative approach. I incorporate skill building, trauma interventions, behavioral modification, resourcing, and collaborative work with others to provide the most effective results possible.

Counselors have the unique opportunity to facilitate healing and change through their relationships with others. I believe that the seeds of change are first planted through safe relationships where one can be open and honest without judgement. Creating a supportive environment for my clients to process and grow is what I love most about therapy. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults on a variety of mental health issues, including mood disorders, behavioral disorders, trauma, and relationship problems. It would be an honor and a privilege to walk with you on your journey.

Kathryn enjoys helping clients of all ages navigate the developmental and unique challenges of their stage of life and personal experiences. She starts by being fully present with clients in order to better understand their unique worldview and how they experience their presenting issues. Her goal is to empower clients to make meaningful and lasting change in their lives by offering a nonjudgmental space for self exploration. She provides an empathetic, honest, and sensitive space for clients to increase insight regarding their patterns of behavior, learn new ways of thinking, and acquire new skills.

Do you struggle with unwanted thoughts, feelings and behaviors that affect your career and personal relationships? Do you feel overwhelmed or that you are living up to others standards? Do you question how to get past trauma or grief of the past? As a trauma therapist, I understand the ubiquitous impact both single event traumas and repeated developmental trauma have on present functioning.

Seeing a therapist isn't only for people in major life crisis. People in everyday life situations can also benefit from therapy. We all need help at times to understand our feelings, deal with life's challenges and feel hopeful about the future. Life can feel like a roller coaster sometimes. It may take us high with the birth of a child or falling in love and it may drop us low mourning a loss, suffering abuse, or feeling immobilized by depression. Therapy can help you find ways to manage those emotions and promote your well-being.

My practice is founded on creating a safe space for you to work on your most authentic, whole and healthy self. My work with you is focused not only on understanding your past experiences, whether family, relationships, traumas or mental health concerns that have been hindering your growth, but also supporting you to step into your life NOW. I will support you and walk the walk with you. We will explore how to fully live and thrive in the present, grow to your fullest potential, way beyond what you imagine for yourself.
