Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Franconia, VA

Hello! If you are looking for a therapist who values authenticity and being genuine, I hope to have the privilege of working with you. I specialize in evidence-based treatment for adolescents and adults experiencing suicidal ideation/self-harm, depression, loneliness, anxiety and difficulty managing uncertainty, trauma, personality disorders, and OCD. I also strive to be an ally to those who are marginalized due to their identity (ethnicity, LGBTQIA+, etc.). I also conduct psychological assessments for neurodevelopmental disorders (autism, ADHD) and psychoeducational purposes.

Therapy can often be initially awkward or even bring out a vulnerability in the client. I believe it is important to develop trust and rapport very early to make the client feel comfortable, safe, and heard. Once trust is established, we work together to set goals and establish coping skills to handle struggles you might be faced with. Every client’s situation is unique and that would determine my therapeutic approach. I often draw from an eclectic treatment approach such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy and incorporate Mindfulness and elements of Play Therapy.

I am a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of experience. I am fluid in English and Spanish. I have a masters degree in counseling.

If you are depressed, anxious, troubled in your relationships, coping with grief, struggling with past or current trauma, feeling hopeless or angry, or just trying to understand yourself better, I'm here to help.

Together you and I will work toward increased understanding of and ways to cope with whatever problems you would like to discuss. Therapy isn't necessarily easy, but it can help.

Well, hello. I am glad you decided to meet. Let me pour you some tea or coffee and let’s discuss what is on your mind. Sometimes it can be pretty difficult to seek out help. Especially for those who either thought they didn’t need it or were convinced that their issues are manageable. That often occurs with members of the LGBTQ+ community. Regardless, you took the first step, as difficult as it may have been. As a next step I want to work with you and build trust. Once that has been established and you feel comfortable, we can address the items that cause you concern.

Are you having a hard time figuring out what is going on with your relationships with others? Do you have recurring or consistent negative thoughts and feelings about yourself and your future?

I work hard to listen and help to provide a different perspective to my clients.

Everyone experiences loss. Seldom do we allow ourselves to fully experience loss or it's impact. When someone dies, we change jobs, or even have a child, there is loss. When we choose to address these losses, past or present, we can begin to heal, and with healing comes unlimited possibility. I work with families/individuals/children and the impact family dynamics have on their lives; adoptees and their families as they deal their losses; bereaved individuals and groups after the death of a loved one; transitional loss and role adjustment included "empty nest"; corporate downsizing; career counseling; and relationship issues.

I have been able to work with a variety of populations that varied in mental health challenges ranging from depression, anger management and bipolar disorder to name a few. This has been beneficial because I have always enjoyed helping others grow within their lives and watching them progress over time whether it be overcoming challenges circled around one’s sexuality, school-related issues such as bullying, stress management, and etc. As everyone is different, each individual will overcome their challenges in their own way. Thus, taking the first step to embark on a journey to living an improved life is only the beginning.
