Therapists in Ashburn, VA

Accepting new clients - The Center for Connection, Healing & Change was conceived as a sanctuary to facilitate joyful connection to ourselves and our loved ones. Our work focuses on the creation of secure, close, and satisfying relationships – within us and between us. We choose to specialize in relationships because we know the importance of satisfying relationships for our mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Services explore the relationship we have with both ourselves and others; how well we can live with emotional ease, know who we are, ask for what we need, and access our resilience in moments of hurt or stress.

Welcome. Our journey in life can be incredibly rewarding but sometimes life experiences can cause stress, anxiety, or depression. Therapy can help to identify the cause of these feelings and help you move toward your goal of a more fulfilling life. Beginning or returning to therapy is a courageous step and my role as your therapist is to help you begin to navigate the journey and help you overcome difficult life experiences and the resulting impact on your mental health and wellbeing.

I primarily utilize a Cognitive Behavioral and Psychodynamic approach to therapy. Through being a Certified Trauma Professional (CTP) and a trained EMDR practitioner, I am able to advocate for clients through a trauma-informed lens. I believe cognitions influence behavior and early childhood events can shape how one views themselves, others, and the world. This results in learned patterns of thinking and behavior that can be brought to awareness with counseling. I am certified to work with couples as a SYMBIS and Gottman Level 1 clinician by focusing on communication skills while restoring friendship and trust in the relationship.

My goal is to help clients find the means to take back their lives. I work with clients on finding ways to use their strengths to overcome what can feel like impossible situations. I am here to listen to clients and provide support in meeting their goals.

If you're looking for a therapist who feels authentic, warm, open and relatable while seeking support for your anxiety, depression, & emotional intensity- I may be a good fit! As a relational therapist, I strive to create authentic healing connections with my clients, focusing our work in 3 areas: relationship with yourself, others, & the world. We will oscillate between your past and present experiences to increase awareness & understanding of how we got here and where we would like to go in the future. Using humor, warmth and candor, I will work with you in co-creating a space that is safe and comfortable for you to heal & grow.

Are you struggling to change your patterns of alcohol or marijuana use, or do you have a loved one who is? I use a harm reduction approach to help clients explore their relationship with substances.

I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing, and non-judgmental environment as feeling supported is essential in productive therapy.

Using a holistic approach, I work with teens and adults who have found themselves in a rut. This may present as anxiety, depression, eating disorders, using substances and other behaviors in unhealthy ways. I meet you where you are and work with you to deepen understanding and self-awareness and build healthy coping tools. I work with athletes, First Responders, members of the military community and law enforcement, as well as gifted children and adults, and executives. My clients often have a strong motivation or feel a pressure to succeed in school, sports, work or life, and are frustrated by their inability to "master" this.

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.

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.

Living in NoVa brings a unique set of challenges, stresses and anxiety that most accept as "normal". Having the tools to cope and succeed here is essential. Teens face their own set of challenges living in such affluence, which can bring its own set of anxiety and needs. Understanding the challenges and needs in NoVa is half the battle; developing the skills to manage relationships, boundaries and emotions within this very unique culture is the other. Together we can work to bring the balance and peace that is needed to succeed in this unique area.
