Throughout our lives, we all find ourselves struggling with negative thoughts or engaging in behaviors that aren't serving us. Do you want to make real changes in your life? Would you like to have stronger boundaries? Do you need support with figuring out how to shape your life? Through therapy, you can explore your needs, emotions, beliefs, identities, relationships, values, goals, and so much more. Therapy can support you with developing skills and techniques to break habits and patterns that are no longer useful. I offer a nonjudgmental space in which you can feel safe to explore yourself.

Crescent Counseling Center was established in April 2021 by four women who shared similar ideas of what a supportive and comfortable therapeutic environment looked like. CCC is nestled in the Cardinal Forest neighborhood of West Springfield, VA and offers mental health counseling and behavioral services catered to individuals and families in Northern Virginia. Here at CCC, we use evidence-based therapeutic approaches to help you identify unhealthy thoughts and behaviors and focus on goal-oriented change. The Crescent in the logo is symbolic for empowerment, change, and growth; all things we hope to instill within our clients.

Therapy can often be initially awkward or even bring out a vulnerability in the client. I believe it is important to develop trust and rapport very early to make the client feel comfortable, safe, and heard. Once trust is established, we work together to set goals and establish coping skills to handle struggles you might be faced with. Every client’s situation is unique and that would determine my therapeutic approach. I often draw from an eclectic treatment approach such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy and incorporate Mindfulness and elements of Play Therapy.

I have over 17 years of experience in the mental health field working with clients of all ages and presentations.

Some of my specialties include trauma, eating disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, addictive disorders, and dysfunctional relational patterns. www.crescentcounselingva.com Accepting New Clients!

My clients are searching for meaning and a sense of wholeness in their lives, sometimes in the midst of crisis, sometimes traveling through times of normative change. Although I am an ordained Presbyterian minister and consider my work a ministry of counseling, I value the diversity of our community and seek to meet people wherever they identify themselves to be and honor their unique stories, beliefs and perspectives.

I have always had a desire to help others and create less suffering in those around me. As a resident in counseling, I am fairly new to the field, but have over 3 years of experience helping those who struggle with their mental health. I have worked with elementary aged children, adolescents and adults. I have found my niche in adolescent mental health, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, grief, multicultural concerns, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. I tend to focus heavily on the therapeutic relationship and guiding my clients through intense self-exploration. We all have a variety of identities that intersect and make us who we are.

If you are experiencing intense anxiety, relationship issues, depression, and/or just feeling stuck, change is possible. I believe that the relationship between client and therapist opens pathways to healing and clients can discover the truth of their own inner strength and resources. I would like to help you on your journey to explore, learn, and encourage movement towards greater self-awareness, deeper peace, and achieve more meaning and joy from relationships. To achieve these goals, I believe that a customized approach in therapy is most effective in helping people make positive changes in their lives.

Everyone experiences life circumstances that are challenging. Moments of feeling overwhelmed with daily stresses, relationship struggles, parenting challenges, grief and loss, life transitions, postpartum adjustment; often resulting in a need for change and healing. It is a privilege to come alongside clients as they tell their stories and help provide support as they reach their goals. As a therapist, I apply a client-centered, integrative approach towards counseling. My goal is to support and utilize a client's strengths in moving towards healing and growth.

Whether it's everyday stress or more troubling feelings of depression, grief, anxiety, or family stress, we all need support. Your healing process can start here, with a therapist who will listen openly and provide a secure space to be authentic and work towards the emotional health you want and deserve. As my client, you will have the opportunity to work on life changes you believe are important and achieve the results you would like to see at the end of your therapy journey.

Many times we struggle with stress, overwhelming experiences, and disturbances in personal identity. We are confronted with situations in which our past experiences strongly affect our reactions, behaviors, and emotional state. Anxiety, depression, self-doubt, intrusive thoughts, and negative behavior patterns have the potential to challenge us and impede emotional growth. I believe that individuals have the ability to implement and follow through on necessary change. Through self-examination and the therapeutic process, we will begin to evolve and create a healthy life narrative.
