Therapists in Ashburn, VA

People come to therapy for a variety of reasons. Those suffering from addictions, compulsions, anxiety, and relationship problems often seek help when they are acting in ways that they don’t want to act or thinking in ways that don’t support their best interests. Let’s change negative patterns! Whether you are experiencing a crisis or are seeking better life balance and a new perspective, you may wish to work with a specialist. I offer warmth, curiosity and an ability to focus on objectives with clients seeking solutions to some of life’s most challenging issues.

Hi there. Thanks for reading my profile. I work with folks ages 12 and older on a variety of personal struggles. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional and a Gender Therapist, the central issues that I work with clients on are the following: anxiety, depression, communication, self-esteem, self-assertiveness, family conflict, sexuality, gender questioning, gender dysphoria, domestic abuse, domestic violence, trauma, and PTSD. As a Kink aware counselor with a multi-ethnic heritage, I am committed to respecting the diversity, in all forms, of my clients. I follow the WPATH SOC.

I am a Clinical Psychologist specializing in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), all types of anxiety disorders, depression, hoarding, misophonia, tics, hair-pulling disorder, and stress disorders. I also work with ADHD, school refusal, and other child behavioral issues. I practice evidence-based cognitive-behavioral treatments that are proven effective in clinical research. I monitor the latest research developments to ensure that you receive the most effective treatment available. My treatment focus is short-term, and I work closely with clients to define specific goals, tailor treatment plans, and evaluate ongoing progress.

I enjoy working with adults, teens and children but especially enjoy helping parents of young children exhibiting behavioral problems. When children misbehave they are trying to communicate their needs in an ineffective way. My psychodynamic training helps inform my ability to determine what’s really going on with children as well as adults. The psychotherapy I provide is conducted in a very compassionate and non-judgmental way. When people struggle they need to be heard - I’m a great listener but am adept at reading between the lines. I help bring to conscious awareness many underlying issues residing in the unconscious.

Many people struggle to make the initial contact to start therapy. Whether it’s because they believe their problem is too big to fix, feel overwhelmed, or experience embarrassment about seeking treatment sometimes people avoid the help they deserve. I believe that one of the bravest things you can do is ask for help. My goal is to create a safe & non-judgmental environment that allows me to get to know you and to help you play a larger and more meaningful role in your own life. My style is to provide a collaborative, support oriented, and guided approach to overcoming your problems, while helping you identify your values.

I am enthusiastic about helping people make changes in their lives! Hypnotherapy has helped me to make positive changes in my life and I look forward to helping you too. My background includes working with Mental illness. I have a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology and a certification in Hypnotherapy. I also provide life coaching to help you reach goals.

I regard much of 'psychopathology' as well-intended (but ineffective) efforts to contend with pain and fear, and to pursue needs and wants. So, in psychotherapy, I invite my clients to explore, identify, and take guidance from their emotional experiences, honoring their depression, anxiety, and other symptoms while finding more effective ways of living well. I also provide psychological and neuropsychological assessments.

I believe that people want to be heard, validated, and listened to. Reaching out for help when feeling stuck or overwhelmed is the first step in beginning a journey of self-healing, growth, and transformation. I work with clients on developing a better understanding of themselves, promote self-care, and assist in making real and lasting change. Having the space to talk through various life issues and challenges leads to a better sense of self-understanding and ultimately results in becoming more fulfilled and happier in life. I practice from a Cognitive-Behavioral approach & integrate Psychodynamic and Mindfulness therapies.

Life presents us with a variety of situations everyday that can be challenging, but it's not the situation itself that impacts our lives, it's the way we perceive it and handle it, that determines the impact it has on our lives. I utilize a combination of evidence-based therapeutic approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy and mindfulness to help individuals discover new ways to cope with life challenges and move forward towards a more satisfying life.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 28 years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I specialize in the treatment of the eating disorders, anxiety, depression, neuro-spectrum disorders, ADHD, young adult issues, men's issues, PTSD, sexual abuse/trauma, self-inflicted violence, and dual diagnosis. My approach is eclectic, utilizing proven treatment modalities such as Neuro-linguistic Programming, hypnosis, and other accepted strategies. Philosophically, I come from a background of Psychodynamic and Adlerian education. I am a native to the Northern Virginia area, residing here for over 45 years.

Deciding to participate in therapy can be a difficult choice to make. My priority is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their difficulties and learn about themselves. My approach to therapy is goal-oriented but also adaptable to clients' needs. I use cognitive-behavioral (CBT), dialectical behavioral (DBT), internal family systems (IFS), and mindfulness-based approaches to improve day-to-day functioning, increase healthy coping, and change unhealthy patterns. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), treating survivors of childhood trauma who suffer from trauma-related disorders.

For over 30 years, I have provided psychotherapy to adolescents and adults. People from all walks of life need help at some point. Some are struggling with anxiety or depression or have experienced something traumatic and can't seem to move on from it. Others come because a relationship is in trouble and they need help to repair and restore it or they are seeking support to survive the break-up. Still others are dealing with issues of grief and loss, burnout, codependency and addictions. Now, with the pandemic, everything is heightened: our fears, our struggles, even our ability to be kind to ourselves and parent our children.

If you or your child are struggling, psychological testing can provide you with immediate feedback and specific recommendations to help you see change as quickly as possible. I provide psychological evaluations for individuals of all ages, including neuropsychological, psychoeducational, and diagnostic evaluations. Reasons to seek testing include identification of learning disorders/giftedness, assessing for ADHD and PTSD, helping children having trouble in school or at home, improving career and relationship difficulties, identifying the causes of memory problems, and obtaining a clear diagnosis (e.g., depression, anxiety, etc.).

It's not often people get to say how much they enjoy their work, but I do. As the co-founder of Insight Into Action Therapy, I get to meet fascinating people and assist them as they navigate through tough times. I do so through individual and family therapy. In addition, I facilitate several groups, primarily our Dual Diagnosis Recovery Program which is designed to help individuals with co-occuring substance abuse and mental health problems. Besides therapy, I provide community educations and lectures on various topics impacting individuals and the society as a whole.
