Hello, I'm Rona. How can I help you? It is a simple way to start a counseling relationship, and isn't that really the key question? You want a therapist who recognizes that the most important factor in the equation is YOU. That you are a unique individual or couple, with specific challenges that are deeply personal and profoundly important. You're not a client, you're a human being brave enough to seek help at a time when you may feel incredibly vulnerable. That's exactly how I welcome you to my practice - with dignity and compassion

Struggling, fighting, worried, or depressed? Real change is possible and within your reach. Whether you need help for your marriage, your family, or yourself, together we can turn conflict and despair into closeness and vitality. My approach is interactive. I value what you think and feel, and I will share with you my thoughts and impressions. Working as a team, we identify and stop negative patterns, making room for more connection in your relationships and greater joy in your life.

Has your life gotten off track? Do you need a substance abuse evaluation because of an alcohol or drug related charge, such as a DUI or marijuana possession, or because of an incident with the law where alcohol or drugs were present? Do you need an ASAM evaluation to meet ASAP requirements? Have your life goals been put on hold because of an alcohol or drug related issue? Is it time to evaluate your relationship with alcohol/drugs and maybe make some changes? Do you need outpatient follow up from intensive treatment? If so, come meet with a counselor skilled in substance abuse and mental health services to discuss options.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed? Struggling with substance use? In a relationship that seems to be lacking in empathy and/or successful communication? Suffering from a combination of emotional and physical problems? I have 40 years of experience as a clinical social worker, including 20 years in private practice. I am licensed in Virginia in clinical social work and substance abuse treatment. During the Covid 19 pandemic I am meeting with clients by video.

** Evening and Weekend Appointments Available** Psychotherapy is a powerful process. I apply a variety of approaches to help people understand themselves, their relationships with others, and their goals for the future. Perhaps the most important aspect of my approach is to understand your point of view and to integrate it to provide an effective intervention strategy. Life brings all kinds of challenges- depression, irritability, anxiety, and even physical symptoms are some of the ways that they can express themselves.

Looking to create change in your life or your relationship? Is your current way of thinking or communicating preventing this change? Maybe you or your child needs assistance with establishing identity and improving self esteem. You may be looking for a therapist that is empathetic and respects your right to self determination, so that you can explore your change process in a safe environment. My ideal client comes to therapy with an open mind and a willingness to engage in the process of change.

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.

I have been providing counseling services to adolescents and adults for over 30 years. I have extensive training in the treatment of addiction, trauma, PTSD and anxitey and mood disorders. Together we will determine your goals and my treatment approach will be based on where you are in your journey. I am not a therapist who will simply ask you "how do you feel?" I am very active. I can not do the work for you, but together we will explore what has brought you to therapy and I will gently guide you to a path of healing and growth.

Have you tried traditional talk therapy and felt like something was missing? Your subconscious mind is a vast rich source of emotional healing and transformation. Since your subconscious mind operates like an "auto pilot", using hypnosis can help you to absorb the information your subconscious mind needs to help you heal. Your subconscious mind wants to help you, but many times it doesn't understand what you really want, or how to give it to you, which is exactly why hypnosis can be extremely valuable tool to change your life for the better.
