Couples Counseling Therapists in Potomac West, Alexandria, VA
I will take the time to get to know you so that we can build a therapeutic relationship for our work together.
I enjoy helping people who are trying to manage their anxiety, or who have experienced trauma in their lives, or who are having difficulty in their relationships and are trying to figure out why. I also focus on helping you to accept aspects of themselves, even if the rest of the world doesn't always seem to accept you. I can help you to understand yourself better by exploring the past and present with you, to determine what does and does not work in your life, and to understand (and fully claim) aspects of your identity.

The ideal client is a person who is open to learning, determined to self-improve and committed to the therapeutic relationship.
The first session is a meet and greet and it's also an opportunity to learn about your history and what makes up your personality. I will look at your family history, marital status and relationship style and communication style and medical background. Then it will be starting to look at treatment goals and collaborating on a treatment plan.
