Therapists in Alexandria, VA

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in private practice. I treat depression and anxiety, long standing problems, relation/couples, Gay/Lesbian, crisis intervention, coping w/chronic or terminal health concerns, mourning and grieving. I was a Director of Social Work in a psychiatric hospital. I left that position because I discovered my greatest interest was working with clients. I provide a relaxed environment where people can examine and solve problems, develop greater insight, and enhance coping skills in a non judgmental setting.

I am a dedicated and compassionate therapist specializing in at-risk child and adolescent mental health care. I am committed to assisting patients in achieving long-term self-management of their mental health. I firmly believe the first step in youth mental health treatment is recognizing that therapy is not a punishment but an opportunity to unlock one's potential. I strive to create a safe and supportive space that fosters growth and development, allows individual development of coping skills, identifies sources of support, increases mindfulness, and promotes accountability of mental health goals.

Asking for help can often be an indication of courage and strength. All individuals have life issues and knowing when to seek help is essential to well being. I am a psychologist who works diligently with my clients to identify and examine maladaptive patterns that cause obstacles to living well. Through this process, the elements needed for positive change (e.g., insight, acceptance) materialize and help move one to live a more healthy and fulfilling life. In therapy, I place great value on the relationship between the therapist and the client, so I strive to create a safe, comfortable, confidential, and nonjudgmental environment.

As a clinical social worker, it is my mission to provide a supportive, nurturing, and therapeutic environment for all of my clients. My ultimate goal is to empower and equip the youth and adults I work with the tools they need as they navigate through life's challenges to meet the goals personal to them. If you are looking for a therapist that will empower you and equip you with what you need to reach your goals using a strengths based and solutions focused approach, look no further!

Is constant anxiety keeping you stuck in your head? Maybe you criticize yourself and feel like you should be handling life “better”, feeling as though you should be happier. Perhaps it is depression, or a feeling that things are “just ok” as a result of not knowing where you are going or why. Or have you experienced traumas which are impacting your present life and functioning? Having support and treatment tailored to you as an individual can make all of the difference. I work with people to create a life filled with peace, self-confidence, understanding, and growth. You don’t have to do it alone.

Are you feeling stuck? Do you have a desire for change, but are unsure where to start? Let’s be honest for a moment. Life is hard. Sometimes we need extra support.

I have a special interest in women’s issues. I have had a corporate career, and particularly enjoy helping women navigate the challenges of balancing multiple roles and life transitions.

Adolescence is a pivotal phase marked by rapid physical, emotional, and cognitive changes.
