Therapists in 22042

Does your worry feel uncontrollable? Do you feel exhausted by racing thoughts? Maybe it’s a more specific anxiety surrounding school, work, life transitions, or social situations; maybe it just feels like everything has been piling together recently.

As a longtime resident of Northern Virginia, I know personally that there are unique aspects to living in this area that can magnify the pressure that we feel. I primarily work with adolescent females (14+) and women who are overwhelmed by their stress at school, work, or home as well as those stuck in a transition - whether that be adjusting to high school, college, post-college life, postpartum life, a relationship or family change, a loss, and more. With empathy and compassion, I deeply value and engage the uniqueness of each person I meet.

PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS, BUT WILL BE HAPPY TO ADD YOU TO A WAITING LIST. For those who seek to know and understand themselves better; for those who find themselves asking, "Why do I do what I do?" I am a trained as a systemic thinker. I assist clients in identifying the root causes of current struggles in thinking and behaving, then partner with clients to work toward a restorative, healing experience within the context of a warm, compassionate, therapeutic relationship. I can provide services from a Christian perspective, helping clients pursue God’s intention for a full, abundant life.

Life can be hard sometimes, leaving us with bumps, bruises, and wounds that are difficult to heal on our own. Therapy is a space where you can better understand yourself so that you can heal and find a different and more meaningful way of being in the world. In the context of a safe and empathic therapeutic relationship, you are able to listen better to yourself, understand your emotional pain, and see the ways that it has impacted your life. It is through this process that the work of therapy can be both hard but ultimately rewarding.

My areas of focus with clients include anxiety, depression, identity development, life changes and transitions, self-esteem, body image, interpersonal difficulties, family of origin issues, and general stressors of daily life. I work with adult clients of all ages and have often worked with young adults. I am a Resident in Counseling in the Commonwealth of Virginia as well as a National Certified Counselor.

I began providing exclusively online therapy in 2017 to offer convenient, efficient, hassle free treatment throughout Virginia, California, Pennsylvania, and D.C. I view therapy as an agent of change, and am excited to partner with you to make meaningful changes in your life. My aim is to provide unbiased feedback, compassionate support, and guidance throughout the discovery and change process. Together we will discover ways to be more effective at reaching your goals and managing your challenges. I believe change requires action, and often utilize homework tasks to support growth beyond sessions. You can do this, I can help.

Losing a loved one can be the most difficult time in your life. Emotions are often surprising in their strength or mildness. Grief often breaks a person completely from the inside out. Grieving is hard work, you can get worn out, and feel battered. It can take a lot longer to work through grief than most people realize. People around you may think it’s helpful for you to not talk or cry or focus on your loss but actually, this is just what people need to do. The goal is to not stay stuck, to move through it—and this is part of the process. Grief doesn’t get better by ignoring it and trying to ‘get over it.’

As a psychotherapist, my goal is to create a space in which each client feels authentically seen, known, and supported. I use an integrated, culturally sensitive approach to therapy in order to help clients grow in self-awareness, pursue healing, and realize lasting change.

Psychological assessment can provide valuable information for individuals seeking to gain information about their social/emotional, behavioral, intellectual, and academic/work functioning. Individuals may seek out psychological assessments for self-exploration, to gain a better understanding of their abilities and patterns of interacting with the world, and to help understand personality traits. Testing can also be used help determine a diagnosis, guide treatment, and offer recommendations to improve overall psychological functioning.

My training in the art and science of counseling has allowed me to provide treatment for clients with a diverse range of behavioral and mental health concerns. I have worked in a variety of treatment settings using different modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based DBT and Play Therapy. I also specialize in the treatment of ADHD and PTSD. I have years of experience in the treatment of substance abuse and addictive behaviors. I provide ASAM (American Society for Addiction Medicine) - approved substance abuse assessments to determine severity and level of care needs for alcohol & substance abuse issues.

I work with adolescents and young adults who are feeling stuck by life's pitfalls and need help moving forward. Whether struggling with trauma, anxiety + depression, emotional issues or relationship struggles, they know something in their life feels "off", but can't quite place what it is or why. I'm here to help you feel more free, and have language and tools to better help you get unstuck.

I have worked with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive thoughts and behaviors, self-injury, addictions, and relational breakdown. For the past 15 years, I have primarily focused on crisis intervention and risk assessments, addressing acute situations and helping patients and families navigate the mental-health landscape.

I am a licensed clinical social worker licensed in Virginia. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults of all ages, but I have a particular passion for working with college students and LGBT individuals. I also enjoy working with folks with a variety of concerns including mood disorders, anxiety disorders, grief, relationship issues, low self esteem, body image concerns and gaming addiction. With expertise in the treatment of eating disorders, I enjoy helping people develop a healthier relationship with food. I believe in using evidence based practices to achieve the most change in the shortest amount of time. Allow me to help you tackle your goals and gain more fulfillment out of life.

Life can sometimes turn difficult and painful, and at these times, reaching out for help can be reassuring and powerful. If you are feeling depressed, distressed, or anxious I can help. Together you and I will sift through the layers, untangle the thicket, and emerge more certain and clear. As we understand you better, we can use that knowledge to carve out a new path for you, one that offers greater ease and contentment.

Your voice and your story matter. Your journey in life is unique to you. I believe effective treatment involves engaged, empathetic listening where we work together to develop treatment based on your needs. Our work together will focus on your strengths to help reduce distressing symptoms and increase coping strategies to improve your daily life. I specialize in maternal mental health and concerns during the perinatal period (pregnancy and postpartum) in areas such as life adjustments, anxiety, depression, grief and loss (miscarriage/neonatal loss), infertility, relationship issues, and parenting.
