Yes you can gain peace of mind participating in individual therapy. Learn to cope, manage your emotions and develop positive ways to respond to negative emotions. Daily we help people tackle work stress, build up from depression ,find calm through anxiety and find peace and direction after loss. I'm offering you the opportunity to invest in your wellness.

Life in these hectic days can feel rushed, disturbing and even unexperienced. I see the primary goal of therapy as the conscious taking of time to reflect and think about what has happened or is happening in our busy days. It takes determination to set aside time each week to sit and consider the possibilities taken or refused. My passion is to work with people and help them solve the puzzles of their lives, to achieve peace or regain excitement in their lives

Are anxiety, anger, or the need to be perfect negatively impacting your life? Do you have problems with your relationships? I can help. I have helped people deal with these and many other issues. Often, my clients begin to feel relief after the first session. People find me warm, friendly, and caring - saying that talking with me is very helpful. I will provide you with a place where you can feel safe to talk about any problem or concern, knowing that you will be respected, supported, and well cared for in a professional and confidential manner.

I believe that my role as a therapist is to create a space where you feel supported, safe, and validated as we navigate challenges together. I think that everyone can benefit from therapy– whether it’s short-term to help you through a life transition or longer-term support, I will be here to affirm and accept you as you are. In therapy, we can explore the different ways your past experiences may impact your life, how cultural narratives have been absorbed, find agency to deconstruct the scripts that you no longer want to follow, ways to grow and develop new skills, and effective ways to communicate and deepen your relationships.

Now accepting new Aetna clients! Being a human can be really hard sometimes. Maybe it’s hard because there’s an area in our lives where we struggle, like in our careers or relationships. Perhaps, we’ve experienced some painful times that we haven’t fully healed from or find ourselves engaging in problematic behaviors. Whatever our struggles, I’ve found that psychotherapy can help reduce our suffering and help connect us to the joy of being alive.

It can be challenging and intimidating to start a new journey and prepare ourselves for change. When we go through something challenging, it can be difficult to make sense of what happened and how it impacted us. When we have a safe space to express our emotions, feelings, and identify core beliefs, we can begin to heal, change, and grow. Are you struggling with anxious and negative thoughts, is anxiety and depression impacting different areas of your life? Do you tend to overthink or think the worse? Is stress causing you sleepless nights and worries?

Are you tired and overwhelmed with a situation in your life? Do you wake up in the mornings wondering how you got to this place?

Whether you're struggling with a relationship issue, a divorce, remarriage with step children, a loss, a work issue or simply wanting to learn more about yourself, I will join you on your journey to feeling more content and happier in your life.

"The truth will set you free" is apt in describing the key to mental health, but many of us need help before we can handle the truth. Anxiety, anger, depression, relationship issues and addictions are signs of our mind's defenses obscuring our truth. I support clients wanting to change by helping them identify their truths, increase coping skills and build self-awareness so that they have the power to transform their lives into what they are meant to be.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, serving those in the DMV area. I obtained my Baccalaureate degree in Social Work at Virginia Commonwealth University with a minor in psychology.

I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, disordered eating, and related mental health issues for women including depression, anxiety, body image struggles, self-harm, and relationship distress. Therapy requires both the therapist and the client to be active - I think of it as a joint venture of taking on your unwanted symptoms together. The process of recovery and therapy may feel daunting to you. A part of you may want freedom from your symptoms and yet another part seems to be holding on to your current lifestyle. These are normal feelings and talking about this dilemma is a good place to start.

During my twenty years of clinical experience, I find effective therapy always starts with our connection. Growing a warm, non-judgmental working relationship is always my initial goal, as your comfort is important for treatment success. I will collaborate with you to create an individualized approach that will address your difficulties and speak to your strengths and goals. I am a compassionate, direct, and calm communicator and adept at facilitating exploration of your thoughts, feelings and actions in an effort to relieve distress, develop insight, improve coping strategies, and grow healthier, more satisfying relationships.

I am interested in cultivating a gentle curiosity, attentiveness and, if possible, a sense of humor in the clients I am privileged to meet. Our family experience informs the way we experience ourselves and how we make our way in relationships. I'm interested in exploring practical avenues for effecting communication that includes mindful awareness, appropriate boundaries and empathic connection. As reactivity is practically identified and calming is learned, I want to leaven the re-discovery or re-defining of a life narrative where, courage, integrity and joy are woven in. I want to encourage growth in those areas where healing is needed.

Having feelings of being overwhelmed, stressed, or not feeling like you know what to do? Do you find yourself feeling down or not as happy as you use to be? Emotional pain can be debilitating and wreak havoc on our lives at times. Feeling uncomfortable distressed, or lonely does not have to be a way of life. There is hope for finding that balance once again in your life and that hope starts now by the fact you are looking for support. I work with teens, adults, and seniors seeking help in addressing sadness and depression, stress and anxiety, loss and grief, and responses to traumatic events.

I am extremely passionate about helping clients work through the rough and uncomfortable experiences of their lives. I believe every person comes to therapy with their own individual needs, and my role is to help facilitate their individual needs. Therefore, I adapt my interventions based on a comprehensive assessment of who you are and exactly what you need.
