Therapists in Leesburg, VA

Are you feeling stuck in a pattern of behavior or relationship that's not working for you? Let's work together to find a creative solution! I will help you see your problem from a different perspective, identify why you are stuck, and equip you with strategies to conquer your current situation. People are multi-dimentional so I will integrate where you are mentally, emotionally, physically, relationally, and spiritually into our counseling process. I truly find satisfaction in partnering with people to improve their lives and have enjoyed success in doing so by providing an inviting and authentic therapeutic relationship.

For over 35 years, I have been helping individuals find purpose and direction and overcome grief, anxiety and depression; couples prepare for marriage and couples grow from unhappiness to renewed marital satisfaction; and children face the challenges of too much stress as well as teenagers and young adults learn to cope and manage the challenges of adolescence and young adulthood. People often close me because of my extensive Biblical training and Christian values: every person is important; marriage is worth hard work; and children deserve to be well loved and respected.

I believe in meeting you where you are and offers therapy and wellness services in the office, home, community and schools.

Creating an environment where clients can grow to understand themselves, make the changes they want and need, and to truly thrive is my goal. I work with adolescents, adults and couples to move through obstacles, challenges, and difficult times. Therapy is an opportunity to address and support change and growth. My approach is to work collaboratively with clients, focusing on strengths and a person’s natural inclination to move toward health and balance. I create a warm and empathetic space in which my clients are empowered to create positive change in their lives.

As human beings, we are made for connection and we crave a sense of love and belonging. In this fast paced world where it is difficult finding time to come together with our loved ones, build connection and grow in relationship, we are suffering the negative effects of isolation and depletion. Anxiety, depression, mental and emotional exhaustion, and fear are running rampant through our lives and it is time to take back control. It is my passion and privilege to help my clients to integrate balance, wholeness, self-care, and fun into this beautiful chaos we call life and I have a special interest in working with high sensitivity.

Life can be daunting and stressful, and there are solutions. I believe it is within us all to become energized to lead happy, productive lives. Sometimes we need some extra support to reach our goals. My favorite part about being a psychotherapist is helping people realize their strengths and become empowered to lead healthy lives. This power is within all of us, and I can help you tap into it. I have a very broad background in the mental health field for the past 30 years. My practice gravitates toward helping people who are in relationship with people who have Narcissistic personality traits.

Accepting new clients - The Center for Connection, Healing & Change was conceived as a sanctuary to facilitate joyful connection to ourselves and our loved ones. Our work focuses on the creation of secure, close, and satisfying relationships – within us and between us. We choose to specialize in relationships because we know the importance of satisfying relationships for our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Services explore the relationship we have with both ourselves and others; how well we can live with emotional ease, know who we are, ask for what we need, and access our resilience in moments of hurt or stress.

I primarily utilize a Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic approach to therapy. Through being a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP) and a trained EMDR practitioner, I am able to advocate for clients through a trauma-informed lens. I believe cognitions influence behavior and early childhood events can shape how one views themselves, others, and the world. This results in learned patterns of thinking and behavior that can be brought to awareness with counseling. I am certified to work with couples as a SYMBIS and Gottman Level 1 clinician by focusing on communication skills while restoring friendship and trust in the relationship.

With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in working with people, suffering from depression, anxiety, self-esteem concerns and working through life transitions, such as relationship challenges, career changes and other major life transitions. I work with people who have been diagnosed with serious medical conditions. I love working with people who are ready for change.

Do you feel stuck emotionally? Are you dissatisfied with your relationships? Are you having trouble navigating a big transition in your life? I offer a compassionate listening ear, and use proven methods to help you heal wounds from the past, reshape present patterns and relationships, and discover a new path into a healthy and joyful future.

I’ve been a counselor for 25 years and have lots of life experience to add to our counseling experience. I enjoy using humor, and evidence-based treatment to help clients reach their goals. I am a licensed clinical social worker and have a PhD in counseling. I believe in client self-determination, and will work with you to achieve the goals that matter to you.
