Therapists in Broadlands, VA

Are you struggling with anxiety, trauma, PTSD, self-worth struggles, emotional dysregulation, or relational struggles? Do you end the day feeling like you're barely managing complicated emotions that you can't quite describe? I am a somatic therapist who has extensive experience working with individuals who find themselves "stuck" or have a history of trauma, and feel overwhelmed, anxious, and/or depressed. I also work with clients who are enduring life transition struggles, who feel stuck in the past, ADHD, relationship difficulties, and struggling to build a positive relationship with themselves.

As a counselor, I believe my role is to help others tap into their own innate and powerful ability to heal. I support my clients in cultivating awareness around the connection between their bodies and minds. This leads to a deeper understanding of ourselves, how we relate to others and how and cope with daily life.

Hi and welcome, let me share a bit of my philosophy with you… After several different career choices, true to the vocational model, at thirty-something I discovered the field of psychotherapy. I began my career in accounting, moving into the medical field, then the business world and found my true passion in the study of human behavior. I may be one of a few therapists with physics and organic chemistry as electives ! Taking time for YOU is a quintessential part of experiencing happiness. Knowing who you are and loving it, is a big step in the right direction towards joyful living.

Do you feel "drained" after interacting with certain people? Are you working on building healthier relationships and boundaries? Are you navigating a major life transition or event? Are you a high-functioning person who feels "stuck" in certain areas of your life or that you are "not living up to your potential"? Many of my clients identify as creative, intuitive, and empathic. Clients who choose to work with me are often seeking a more fulfilling and authentic life, working through layers of internalized conditioning, and healing old wounds that are standing in the way of fully embracing and loving themselves and their lives.

Hello! Always working together, we create experiential plans and varied, flexible routines that are specifically tailored to your needs & goals; while also navigating through topics and challenges such as: Grief, Loss, Complex Post-Traumatic Growth/Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Interpersonal & Intrapersonal Struggles, Parent Education, Affirming Neurodiversity Interventions, LGBTQ+ Identity Exploration, Systemic Oppression & Multicultural Diversity, etc. by using a myriad of cutting edge, personalized, evidence-based treatments to reduce internalizing (i.e. depression/anxiety) & externalizing (substance abuse/acting out) challenges.

Cutting edge trauma therapy that uproots symptoms at the source - our clients come to us after years of therapy that didn't get them to where they wanted to go. They're exhausted, fed up, and sometimes feel like they're broken. This is because their treatment only addressed 20% of the brain - and not even the part where mental health symptoms are born. Our trauma treatment specialists use innovative modalities to work directly with the brainstem to renegotiate our nervous system responses.
