Therapists in Herndon, VA

I provide counseling services to adolescents, adults, and preteens. I see people for individual, family, and couples counseling.

Why am I acting this way? Why am I like this? Can I feel better? I understand how painful and disconcerting feeling like this can be.

Self-discovery and healing are essential to leading a fulfilled life and they are a long-term investment in you and your loved ones.

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.

Life is full of ongoing changes and transitions. Youth today are faced with a myriad of challenges, as technology has advanced and schedules have become increasingly hectic.

Pregnancy and the birth of a new baby is often viewed as a time full of joy, love, and bonding; however, this time can also be stressful and difficult leading to approximately 1 in 7 moms and 1 in 10 dads experiencing significant levels of anxiety and/or depression.

I'm only seeing clients located in Virginia and fully virtual!

Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Exhausted? It’s easy to neglect ourselves—to feel like life has so much going on that there isn’t time or space to prioritize our goals, our relationships, self-care. Life isn’t about getting through it, but rather creating the life we want every day. Through therapy, I seek to empower others to improve their well-being and quality of life. I believe every individual is doing the best they can with their circumstances and the skills they have, and I walk alongside my clients to support them in learning new skills and addressing what holds them back from their goals and creating a happy life for themselves
