Anthem Therapists in Alexandria, VA

I view my engagement with individuals who are focused on building a life worth living as a core passion that supports a positive treatment experience. I enjoy working with teenagers, adults and couples who are navigating life issues that are preventing them from fulfilling their highest potential or accessing their best self. I also take pleasure in partnering with individuals on their journey as the therapeutic process can be just as enriching as the realization of the identified treatment goal.

In my practice I work primarily with female adults (20-40 year olds) who are often dealing with life transitions. There is often a commonality among this group. Issues include self esteem, body image, achievement concerns, relationship concerns, anxiety, and depression. Other common concerns are stress, marriage and parenting, and aging. My goal is to help my clients better cope with the difficult issues they face and ultimately live a happier life.

Each of us are unique and so are our struggles. As unique as we are, there are times in our lives when we feel challenged, stuck, exhausted, overwhelmed, or lost. It can be beneficial to seek help from someone outside our situations to help us find ways to make positive change and move through these trying times. I see children, adolescents, teens, adults, couples, and families navigating stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, life changes and transitions, relationships, and grief. Sessions take place in a warm, supportive, and non-judgemental tele-health atmosphere.

I have worked with clients who have experienced the following life transitions: first-time job excitement followed by advised-resignation or firing; working FT as a single parent enrolled in classes; maintaining an income while working through an illness; military to civilian employment; long-term unemployment then a great job; and a new view of taking tests and quizzes after having surprising results from career assessments.

My therapeutic relationship with you will quickly alleviate your emotional discomfort as well as help you grow as a person and develop new psychological abilities. I see your role as one in which you speak as freely as possibly. This is called “free-talk.” Important issues easily rise to the surface when we feel safe enough to talk freely about anything and everything. My job is first to listen and then to talk whenever I have a perspective that I believe will deepen your understanding of yourself. An effective therapeutic process brings about self-understanding that transforms your life and relationships.
