Life can be difficult. If you feel like you're overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, and can't seem to find happiness, I'd like to help you find some balance in your life. Your willingness to explore your thoughts and feelings about yourself and unhappy situations in your life can be extremely empowering. I work in a warm, collaborative, and interactive manner to help guide you toward two primary goals--first, to identify and resolve the immediate problems presented, and then to develop psychological tools that can be used after completion of the therapeutic sessions.

Have you been anxious or sad for a long time? Perhaps you are struggling with your marriage or feel concerned about your children? Or maybe life is presenting obstacles surrounding life transitions, social skills or substance abuse recovery? I integrate holistic and traditional treatments to improve mental health and quality of life. I will teach you specific ways to shift your thinking, assist you in creating positive experiences and make suggestions that will offer relief and reduction of symptoms.

I know life can be very difficult sometimes and even the most functional or "successful" people may benefit from therapy. I am a seasoned psychologist who understands and can help with the difficulties we can all face, such as mood and anxiety struggles, sense of self or self-esteem issues, relationship concerns, school, job, and career challenges, trauma and grief issues, and/or the existential challenges (life purpose, deep loneliness, etc.) we can all face as humans. I am dedicated to work compassionately and effectively with adolescents and adults, be it via individual therapy, group therapy or family therapy.

Thank you for visiting my site. I am licensed in Virginia and Maryland and offer a free 15 minute teletherapy session to help you decide if I am the therapist you are looking for. My clients often come to therapy because they are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, loss and life transitions. While working in hospice I assisted patients and families through their grief and losses. I understand the challenges and difficulties we are all faced with. I honor the inherent dignity of each person and their unique individual strengths and vulnerabilities. You and I will work together toward the direction you seek.

Everyone experiences loss. Seldom do we allow ourselves to fully experience loss or it's impact. When someone dies, we change jobs, or even have a child, there is loss. When we choose to address these losses, past or present, we can begin to heal, and with healing comes unlimited possibility. I work with families/individuals/children and the impact family dynamics have on their lives; adoptees and their families as they deal their losses; bereaved individuals and groups after the death of a loved one; transitional loss and role adjustment included "empty nest"; corporate downsizing; career counseling; and relationship issues.

Are you an intelligent, hardworking, good person? Are you unhappy, discouraged, thoroughly stuck? Not knowing where you are going or how to get there? It's your "emotional brain," who drives your life, often without your awareness, but does not speak the same language of your thoughts. That's why you often can't fix a problem, even when you very well know what it is. It's a communication break down. I will help your emotional brain get unstuck so you can have the life you want. I can help you conquer your fears, lift depression, be happy with yourself.

Are you, or someone you love, feeling defeated, broken, burdened? Do the days just come and go and lack the vitality and energy that you once had. Life can be wonderful but sometimes life hurts like hell. If suffering has taken up residence in your life...maybe you've tried on your own without success to figure out what to do. Studies show that psychotherapy can help. I have been practicing psychotherapy for twenty five years. As your therapist you have my promise: That I will listen carefully, deeply, and reverently. That I will not judge, moralize preach; or assume

If you are stuck in your career or are wondering whether it's time for a change, I know I can help. I bring to my clients the wisdom from the successes I've had as a Harvard MBA, as an advertising executive with one of America's top advertising agencies, as president of an innovative not-for profit, and as a successful entrepreneur. I also have a strong clinical background of 17 years in private practice as a licensed psychotherapist. This variety and breadth gives me a unique ability to view problems from multiple perspectives, creating strategically sound, actionable solutions.

Hello, and thanks for visiting my web page! Therapy is about helping you become the person you want to be. The focus and goals of therapy depend on where you are feeling stuck or dissatisfied in your life. I am an "eclectic" therapist, which means that I draw from many different perspectives as I learn about you and help you implement the changes you'd like to make. If you'd like to talk to me more about working together, please give me a call or contact me through email.

I enjoy helping clients gain a deeper understanding of their own ability to change negative life patterns, primarily through using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness skills. I am friendly, compassionate, authentic, and responsive to client needs. I received my Master's in Social Work (MSW) Degree from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2004 and worked for the Fairfax/Falls Church Community Services Board for several years before coming to work for Fairfax County Public Schools as a School Social Worker in 2007. I have evening and weekend hours and accept several major insurances.

My therapeutic relationship with you will quickly alleviate your emotional discomfort as well as help you grow as a person and develop new psychological abilities. I see your role as one in which you speak as freely as possibly. This is called “free-talk.” Important issues easily rise to the surface when we feel safe enough to talk freely about anything and everything. My job is first to listen and then to talk whenever I have a perspective that I believe will deepen your understanding of yourself. An effective therapeutic process brings about self-understanding that transforms your life and relationships.

I'm here to listen with empathy and help you through a difficult time, to help you with identifying negative thoughts and patterns, to collaborate with you and help you to pursue goals, and to provide education on ways to better cope and make positive changes in your life that will bring you to your higher, ideal self. Treating the following issues: codependency, relationships, self-esteem, adjusting to changes, crisis, history of abuse, and recovery from addiction/alcoholism. I work with clients with depression, anxiety, panic disorder, OCD, bipolar, ADHD and trauma/C-PTSD. I also specialize in assisting gender diverse clients.

Typically, I work with clients ranging in age from 12 through adulthood. Many of my clients are facing challenges with depression, anxiety, job or school performance, relationship issues (couples, parenting, family of origin, and work). Often people come to a juncture in their lives when they know something must change. My work focuses on the desired change each person brings. Together we address reducing symptoms, removing obstacles to growth and increasing life satisfaction. Techniques including NLP, non-verbal presence, mindfulness are offered. Executive coaching, leadership and team building, masterful communication, and conflict mediation skills are offered to organizations.

Struggling and thinking about a change? No one is immune from stress or difficult times in life and our physical wellbeing is tied together with our thoughts, behaviors and feelings. Improving your life is hard but I am here to help you along the way and welcome meeting you in your journey. My patient-centered approach works to find your existing strengths and build on them with specific skills and other interventions tailored to your unique situation. Together we can work to creatively develop strategies which can create change and hope in achieving better living and peace of mind.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a licensed social worker who likes to help people through difficult times by walking you through the everyday challenges we face and provide new ways to cope and think about the difficulties. I provide empathy and excellent communication while building up our therapeutic relationship.

I am an licensed independent clinical social work in the Commonwealth of Virginia and the District of Columbia. I have worked on inpatient hospitals and outpatient therapy. I believe that therapy is an important part of the journey into wellness and self-actualization. I value authentic and genuine connection with my clients. My work aims to assist people in vulnerable times. I partner with you on this journey. Do you have work related stress? Have you been in a difficult transition? Do you have marital or couples issues? Do you suffer from anxiety, depression and adjustment issues? I can help.

Many individuals, families, and couples realize at some juncture in their lives that they need professional assistance in order to successfully navigate or cope with overwhelming situations, strained interpersonal relationships (e.g., discord with a romantic partner), or intense emotional responses to their environment (e.g., sadness, or excessive worrying). In addition, most people are also confronted by situations in which their past experiences dictate their current reactions, responses, and behaviors. Although most individuals experience some variation of the same challenges, most often, people seek additional support when the problems begin to impact their daily functioning and relationships with others.

If you want to improve how you feel or are having difficulty achieving your goals, participating in psychotherapy might be able to help you. I provide individual and group psychotherapy in a supportive and confidential environment. Treatment is designed to help you develop and implement skills and strategies that will assist you in making positive changes in your life. Treatment plans are developed collaboratively and are tailored to help you achieve your desired treatment and personal goals.

A supportive relationship between therapist and client is essential for therapy to be successful. With greater than 20 years of training in various treatment modalities, I am able to tailor treatment based on the needs of my client. I have experience treating individuals and couples facing a wide variety of challenges to include trauma and abuse, grief and loss, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties and life transitions.
