Therapists in West Springfield, VA

My approach to counseling is to be warm and supportive. I strive to provide a safe and trusting environment. I incorporate elements of CBT, ACT and DBT to provide individual therapy for clients who are currently attending DBT or CBT group. Together we address harmful thoughts and behaviors that lead to depression, anxiety and substance use.

My clients are often professionals or business owners who are navigating ambiguities in advanced stages of personal growth and transformation. They are often looking for holistic wellbeing, peak performance, and self-actualization.

If you find yourself feeling stuck in your personal life, career, or relationships, you've come to the right place. I blend various evidence-based methods of therapy to help people heal and discover their true, authentic selves. I believe that the therapy process is sacred. I am passionate about creating a comfortable, safe space for clients to process and explore their emotions. Some of my main areas of interest include helping clients increase their overall self-esteem and body image, navigating interpersonal and romantic relationships, life/career transitions, and healing from heartbreak. I work with adults and couples 18+.

Have anxiety or depression affected your life? Maybe you struggle with work or relationship problems? Therapy can help. I have over 25 years of clinical, research and teaching experience and am an adjunct professor at Georgetown University. I am committed to using the most effective treatments available, all while building a strong, supportive therapeutic relationship. I practice Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as it has been scientifically tested and proven to work. CBT is a solution-focused, active, collaborative approach, which brings about desired symptom and life changes.
