Hi, I’m Sarah! I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor serving the Northern Virginia area, and I’m here to support teens (16+) and adults facing a variety of challenges—whether it’s trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, parenting, life transitions, or just the everyday stress that comes with being human.
In therapy, I bring a positive, holistic approach (and maybe even a laugh or two along the way) because I believe healing doesn’t have to be all serious, all the time. My goal is to meet you where you are, build on your strengths, and partner with you to reach your goals.

When anxiety, trauma, or depression begin shaping how you think, react, and move through the day, even simple moments can feel heavy. Many adults and families reach out when overthinking won’t quiet down, emotional patterns repeat, or past experiences continue to affect relationships, focus, and daily life. I work with adults (18+) and families navigating PTSD, relationship stress, communication breakdown, burnout, and difficult life transitions. Therapy here focuses on practical tools, emotional clarity, and steady support so you can break cycles, regain balance, and begin feeling more like yourself again.

Anger Management Therapists
How long does therapy take for anger management?
Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.
How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?
Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.
Is there medication for anger management?
Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.
What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
