Family Therapy in Virginia

I am available for tele-therapy sessions at this time using a secure platform. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Northern Virginia for 20 years, I attend to many areas of mental health including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career problems, grief, trauma, and life phases that are challenging. I have a collaborative, pragmatic, respectful counseling style that promotes self reflection, understanding and tolerance.

I have a healthy respect for the difficulties and complexities of life and will provide a non-judgemental environment for individuals or couples to explore solutions to the problems they face. The most common issues I work with are depression, anxiety, trauma and relationship problems. I like to look at what is working in a person's life and to promote wellness, as opposed to focusing on pathology or sickness. I find that once an individual focuses on specific goals, it does not take a long time to make significant movement in a positive direction.

Dr. Face works with her clients to develop individualized treatment goals to facilitate positive changes in their lives. Dr. Face utilizes a developmental perspective to understand the client’s current concerns within the context of their life history and to address coping across the lifespan. In sessions, she tends to assume an interpersonal, relational, and collaborative approach with a focus on empathy, understanding from the client’s perspective, and the strength of the therapeutic relationship. She has received training in humanistic, psychodynamic, interpersonal, relational, cognitive-behavioral, and family systems therapies.

We live in challenging times that can lead to a variety of individual and relational problems such as anxiety, depression, anger, and marital/family discord. Helping individuals, couples, and families to address and resolve such problems has been the focus of my clinical work and research over the years. Earlier in my career I specialized in work in the area of anger and aggression management, and I continue to have a strong interest in that work. As a Naval Special Warfare (UDT/SEAL) veteran, I am also interested in addressing the special needs of military service members, veterans, and their families.

Do you need late evening hours? I offer late evening hours between 7pm and midnight. Sometimes life hands us lemons and it helps to talk about it. Often troubles arise from those inescapable family relationships, stages in life, international moving, losses, and other things beyond our control. I am here to help you find strategies for coping. Whether that involves just having a listening ear or adding a dose of humor to make life's frustrations less troublesome, I provide a customized approach based on your needs.

As a dedicated and compassionate Master of Social Work (MSW) professional currently working towards licensure as a Clinical Social Worker, I am passionate about empowering individuals to overcome life's challenges. I am committed to providing a supportive and growth-oriented space for those seeking guidance and healing. I believe that using tools such as CBT, DBT, solution-focused work, and trauma-informed interventions can allow people the opportunity to grow into the person they desire. I am currently under the supervision of Heather Harper, LCSW, ensuring that I adhere to the highest ethical and professional standards.

After serving the Northern Virginia area for the last 23 years in prominent agency and home based counseling settings, I have established myself as a successful psychotherapist. While using a Cognitive Behavioral and Brief Therapy Approach, I am able to help individuals experiencing depressed moods, anxiety issues, anger management issues, loss/ grief, PTSD, abuse and relationship issues.

Psychotherapy provides a healing relationship and a safe environment to process experiences and develop insights into- and coping strategies for- current challenges. We will provide you or your family this therapeutic relationship, guidance through your path to growth, & the opportunity to learn new skills & enhance your life.

As a psychotherapist, I cultivate a safe & supportive atmosphere in which my clients explore thoughts and feelings about the important areas in their lives that may be broken, or not working as well as one hoped and planned. Adults often address major life changes, symptoms of anxiety and depression, relationship issues, as well as struggles with substance misuse and alcoholism.

I believe to have change in a family you must work with the entire family. This means allowing each member to speak their truth. As individuals change, families change, and eventually environments change. Everyone belongs to a family, whether acknowledged or not. Healing occurs at the individual level and includes your mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial state. Whatever we cannot accomplish together, then we will work to identify resources that can.

I aim to provide an open and safe environment to address various issues that may arise in one’s life. My specialty population is couples and families, as I have personally experienced the effects of coming from a broken home, as well as surviving a chaotic family environment. I have 17 years of experience working with children and over 12 years of experience working with adults who are severely mentally ill and dually diagnosed. I find joy in helping others navigate through the roller coaster ride, and detours that life sometimes throws at us.

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

Building confident kids with social skills, advocating for the disabled with skills for employment, and strengthening family communications are the pillars of my passion. Helping children to cope and confidence for happiness, health, and healing can be answered with Play Therapy. Beginning and maintaining employment for individuals with disabilities can be intimidating. I provide support to adults with strategies to navigate through employment. Also, the home environment is first place where healthy family communication should begin through family counseling.

Do you feel like you are on "auto-pilot" and just going through the motions in your life? Well, for over 15 years, I have been assisting individuals, couples, and families to become more engaged and fulfilled in their relationships, goals, and dreams. I am an engaged, flexible, and active therapist, trained in many approaches to partner with you to help you proactively strengthen your relationships and personal well-being.

I am currently accepting new clients that may be struggling with a range of issues including, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment, behavioral concerns, relational issues, challenges in the school or work setting, grief, and self-esteem. I am able to offer both in-person and telehealth sessions in Virginia. I would love to hear your story, chat with you about your goals, and support you on your journey of healing and growth.
