Hello, I'm Rona. How can I help you? It is a simple way to start a counseling relationship, and isn't that really the key question? You want a therapist who recognizes that the most important factor in the equation is YOU. That you are a unique individual or couple, with specific challenges that are deeply personal and profoundly important. You're not a client, you're a human being brave enough to seek help at a time when you may feel incredibly vulnerable. That's exactly how I welcome you to my practice - with dignity and compassion

Struggling, fighting, worried, or depressed? Real change is possible and within your reach. Whether you need help for your marriage, your family, or yourself, together we can turn conflict and despair into closeness and vitality. My approach is interactive. I value what you think and feel, and I will share with you my thoughts and impressions. Working as a team, we identify and stop negative patterns, making room for more connection in your relationships and greater joy in your life.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed? Struggling with substance use? In a relationship that seems to be lacking in empathy and/or successful communication? Suffering from a combination of emotional and physical problems? I have 40 years of experience as a clinical social worker, including 20 years in private practice. I am licensed in Virginia in clinical social work and substance abuse treatment. During the Covid 19 pandemic I am meeting with clients by video.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are your relationships suffering? Maybe you're feeling anxious, sad, frustrated, angry or even desperate? I am a licensed psychotherapist, with over 20 years treating couples, families, adults, adolescents and their parents, with a particular focus on women's issues. I understand the impact of depression, anxiety, family conflict, even trauma and sexual abuse. I can provide you a safe, supportive, collaborative environment, to feel better again.

I specialize in the treatment of depressive and anxiety disorders and in working with people dealing with relationship issues and life transitions. I utilize an active, problem-solving approach while helping the client connect current difficulties to historical patterns.

Looking to create change in your life or your relationship? Is your current way of thinking or communicating preventing this change? Maybe you or your child needs assistance with establishing identity and improving self esteem. You may be looking for a therapist that is empathetic and respects your right to self determination, so that you can explore your change process in a safe environment. My ideal client comes to therapy with an open mind and a willingness to engage in the process of change.

One of the key beliefs that I hold regarding therapy is that clients generally know what is best for them. Rather than telling clients what to do, I help explore options, loosen possiblities, examine potential consequences and empower clients to make decisions that will ultimately lead to healthy relationships. This is done in a supportive, respectful and collaborative environement.

I have been providing counseling services to adolescents and adults for over 30 years. I have extensive training in the treatment of addiction, trauma, PTSD and anxitey and mood disorders. Together we will determine your goals and my treatment approach will be based on where you are in your journey. I am not a therapist who will simply ask you "how do you feel?" I am very active. I can not do the work for you, but together we will explore what has brought you to therapy and I will gently guide you to a path of healing and growth.

For over twenty years I have focused on using the power of positive connections to help individuals, couples in conflict and families with troubled teens. If you are an adult struggling with a life transition, depression, or anxiety; or the parent of a troubled teen who may have made some unwise turns in his or her journey toward autonomy; or you are committed partners who have invested yourselves deeply in your relationship but are nevertheless in conflict, then I may be able to help.

Life is full of ups and downs, twists and turns, and forks in the road. Sometimes we feel stuck or like we're not on the right path. Sometimes we're overwhelmed or struggling to reach our goals. Sometimes painful feelings from the past just won't leave us alone. During these times, therapy can help. Therapy provides a protected space for you to explore the changes you want to see in yourself and your relationships and to reflect on what might be getting in the way. It helps you identify and harness the strength and resilience you already possess. Therapy is a tool to help you move out of distress and toward healing and growth.

"Without awareness, we are not truly alive" - James F. T. Bugental. The purpose of psychotherapy is to awaken the individual and increase insight through exploration of their life, choices, and resistance's. This examination is a personal journey and different for each person. Although difficult and challenging at times, it is a courageous endeavor that can lead to life long positive changes, new ways of being in the world, and a deeper meaning and purpose for one's life.

I will assist you in a caring and professional manner to find realistic answers and solutions that make sense to you in your life, and allow you to more effectively manage each day. I bring over 20 years of experience working effectively with adults, children, families, and couples with a wide range of problems, from mild to severe in nature. My therapeutic approach is strength-based and practical. I draw from a number of different treatment approaches (including but not limited to: CBT, Humanistic, Family Systems, DBT) to most effectively address your presenting issues, reduce symptoms, and meet your goals in seeking treatment.

Your teen’s grades are terrible and she isolates in her room, your adopted child struggles to have any healthy relationships or you are drowning in work and family and can’t find a moment to breathe? I get it! Together we will begin the healing process. I listen, you vent, we laugh and there are tears. Slowly the weight feels less heavy and, one step at a time, hope and relief turn into peace and joy . It's scary, but it's worth it! I CAN help.

(CURRENTLY FULL) (100% TELETHERAPY SERVICES ARE PROVIDED) There are times when life can be very difficult to manage, especially if you have been trying to do it all alone.

Are you tired of making attempts to improve the quality of your personal, family, or your kids' lives without getting the results you want? Many of us feel stuck at some point in our lives. Sudden life changes, challenging relationships, children, stressful jobs often make us feel emotionally vulnerable and helpless. This affects our ability to problem-solve and make decisions. Children and Adolescents also experience similar challenges as their high social, academic, and family expectations often trigger feelings of inadequacy, often leading to low self-esteem, anger, anxiety, and sadness.

My approach to therapy is to create a safe environment where persons can address their emotional and mental health issues and to have the counselor walk with them through their present brokenness towards hope, wholeness, and redemption. And to integrate Christian faith with counseling practices in an effort to address the needs of the whole person: body, mind, spirit, emotions, and relationships.
