"I specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and OCD, including Pure O. I am passionate about the specific type of CBT that I practice because it offers relief to patients who have been in other types of therapy for years without significant progress."

"Chronic stress, substance use, mood imbalance, loss and life transition affect us in diverse ways. I see therapy as a safe, supportive team effort where we work together to find the pieces of your puzzle that are fitting, identify the ones that aren't, and discover which ones are missing. I use an individualized, holistic approach that includes traditional talk therapy, somatic experiencing, interpersonal neurobiology, yoga, mindfulness, and wellness. I practice under the supervision of Colleen McCarron, LPC (0701006825 Virginia). "

"Connection with a loved one is the best source of resilience and comfort. As a Certified Emotionally Focused Couple Therapist (EFT), strengthening your connection with your loved one(s) is my overarching goal. Whether there has been a relationship rupture, a recent stressful life event, or your fast-paced life has just worn down your relationship, sitting together while experiencing the structured and empirically-validated process of EFT will help you open up with each other and build (or, re-build) your bond. Your love for each other can be re-energized and strengthened as a result of couple therapy."

"We could all use a little help sometimes working through life's road blocks and getting to the bottom of what got us here in the first place. Since each client's needs are unique, I prefer using an eclectic approach that is grounded in cognitive behavior and psychodynamic therapies that build confidence and strengthen coping skills. I work toward helping clients identify their own troublesome patterns that interfere with living more authentically."

"I work with a lot of high achieving adults and teens who find themselves feeling empty, anxious or disconnected. This can be for any number of reasons: a relationship, work/school, changes in family life. Some are plagued by crying or panic attacks, some have thoughts of self-harm, cutting or suicide. They are looking looking for relief after months and sometimes years of suffering and want to move forward personally and professionally. "

"I believe that building a supportive and collaborative relationship with clients is the best way to approach the therapeutic process. Processing difficult life experiences in a safe and non-judgmental environment may help reduce internal distress and initiate the healing process. I will apply an insight-oriented approach to help you examine how your thoughts, feelings, and actions may be holding you back. I will help you learn new ways to handle stressors and to better access your natural coping mechanisms. I look forward to hearing from you to see if we might work together."

"Life is a journey, and we sometimes lose our direction, get "stuck," and don't know where to turn. Feelings of hopelessness and shame often arise, and our coping skills fail us. Joy can fade from our lives, and some of us isolate as we question who we are and where we fit in. If we knew how to make positive changes, we would jump at the chance -- we can't just "snap out of it" as some might suggest. My approach to therapy and counseling builds on client strengths -- we all have them, they're either rusty or not evident. Therapy opens doors to wellness allowing patients to not only 'get well' but also to explore life goals."

"There are times we feel a need to talk with someone who will listen and support without judgment. It may be that painful issues from our pasts are surfacing and impacting our happiness and relationships, that there has been a recent change in our lives which is difficult to adjust to, or that the stress of balancing work, family, and self becomes overwhelming. We may need a safe, comfortable, and confidential environment in which to explore what is going on in our inner-selves. In these times, it helps to meet with a knowledgeable professional counselor."

"Life can present obstacles that leave us feeling lost and overwhelmed. If you are challenged by anxiety, depression, addiction, difficult life transition, or other mental health concern, I can help you find balance and cultivate a healthy flow in your life. I offer an empathetic, interactive, and collaborative approach to counseling. Together we will identify your concerns, set goals, and create a unique plan to create positive change. My goal is to empower you to find your strengths and develop strategies to live a fulfilled life. I'm a Resident-in-Counseling with the collaborative practice Falls Church Wellness Center supervised by Jessica MacNair."

"I am committed to helping people find relief and greater happiness. Twenty five years of experience as a psychotherapist confirms my belief in the power of understanding and the possibility of change. The fear of change can become the excitement of discovery; avoidance and running away can transform into assertiveness; holding back can give way to reaching out; confusion can crystallize into clarity and confidence; emotional pain can transform into patience and wisdom. Together, we can work to help you find the solutions and fulfillment you seek."

"I believe the most important factors in therapy are collaboration and a good fit between the therapist and client. I have extensive experience with children, adolescents, and adults in individual therapy, child guidance, and parent-child therapy. I approach therapy from a psychodynamic view, but incorporate cognitive-behavioral techniques when appropriate. I work with children and adolescents and their families to resolve anxiety, depression, and behavior problems. I focus on understanding each child based on developmental tasks, temperament, and individual dynamics. The therapy is geared toward helping children put their thoughts, feelings, and behavior into words."

"Sometimes it can be difficult to take the first step to seek help for the emotional and behavioral challenges that may be impacting your child and/or family. I will offer a safe and compassionate environment to explore these issues and start the therapeutic work towards wellness. My practice focuses on working with children, adolescents, and families. I have extensive experience with children and teenagers with a broad variety of issues including depression, anxiety, eating disorders, poor self-esteem, ADHD, psychosis, self-injurious behavior, and emotional and behavioral dysregulation."

"I work with a wide range of clients to help them constructively deal with their challenges, with a primary focus on adolescents and young adults. I believe in providing a safe and secure environment where you can thoughtfully explore your current situation, developing the necessary personal skills to make the progress you desire."

"I approach my patients as partners in the process of exploring and identifying optimal solutions. Essential components of my work are: 1. Providing safe environment so one can feel free to explore issues and concerns without being judged; 2. Assisting patients in developing awareness and insight; 3. Validating patients' experiences and unmet needs and providing them with corrective emotional experiences; 4. Educating about the working of the brain and mind and how that knowledge can help us managing diffirent life situations. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My specialties are anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and relational issues."

"As a psychotherapist with expertise working with and understanding children and adolescents as well as adults, I understand that psychotherapy can be useful for people of all ages. My approach to therapy involves giving people the room to express themselves at the most authentic level possible. By respecting that every person is entirely unique, I approach therapy with an attitude of curiosity that I seek to evoke in those I see. It is an interest in - as opposed to a fear of - ourselves that leads to greater aliveness and ownershep over one's thoughts, feelings, actions and reactions."
