Therapists in Potomac Falls, VA

Are you struggling in your relationships? With meeting your daily obligations? Overwhelmed by life circumstances? Therapy can provide relief in a multitude of ways: developing healthier, more fulfilling relationships; alleviating and coping with the stresses of daily living; and understanding one's behavior and thought patterns in order to make productive choices and reach one's full potential in relationships, at home, and in the workplace. When one becomes overwhelmed by the relationships and responsibilities of their daily life - to include marriage, family, work, and school - therapy can get life back on track.

I work with adult individuals and children aged 2-18 and their families/caregivers. I focus on supporting clients to creatively turn their pain into coping skills, missed connections into secure relationships, and problematic behaviors into strengths and resiliency. I focus on practical, real-world strategies that build security and connection through a balance of nurture, engagement, structure, and challenge. These strategies are a resource that can then be utilized through different life experiences, stages, and adversity. I support children and caregivers alike to learn new ways of responding, guiding, and supporting one another.

Counseling is a journey towards integration. I'm here to help you overcome anxiety or depression, traumas of any kind, or if you are simply looking for someone to listen to you and provide a non-judgmental and accepting place for you to process life's experiences. I profoundly believe that you do not enter therapy "broken" or that clients need to be "fixed". By learning self-compassion and acceptance, most of our struggles can be understood as manifestations or behaviors that follow from wounds or traumas. The journey is about healing and transformation, rather than getting over something.
