Therapists in 22030
You may be facing a range of challenges, from navigating life transitions and relationship issues to managing anxiety or seeking personal growth. I am particularly passionate in providing a safe and nurturing space where clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment or retraumatization. My professional background as an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapist and assistant preschool teacher equips me with a deep understanding of child development and effective communication with children and families. This knowledge can be invaluable for clients with children or family-related challenges.

I have also had the privilege of working alongside military families for 20+ years and understand the challenges of military life, family separations and reunifications, multiple moves, transitions, combat stress, PTSD, and deployment cycles.
Let’s pause here for a moment and applaud you for taking the first step in building the life that you want. It is brave to be vulnerable and this moment took courage. Finding the right therapist can be an overwhelming task, and today you set aside your demanding to-do list and made it a priority. I have over 20 years of experience proving quality therapeutic services to adults, adolescents and children. As a Licensed Behavior Analyst for the past 13 years, I have also worked closely with children and adults on the Autism Spectrum, and those diagnosed with emotional and/or behavioral challenges.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
