Therapists in Burke, VA

The ideal client can be any human being without placing discrimination on that person. The client possibly may need help with emotional regulation, anxiety, self-image issues, ADHD, domestic violence, etc. Their goals pertain to specific objectives and interventions, which would determine their willingness to work successfully on their own. A client would not want judgment and drama; however, a more caring, empathic, and nonjudgmental environment. Also, the client would express their thoughts, feelings, and actions in a confidential manner that he or she feels secure and safe with me.

My clients struggle just like we all struggle. Some of the more unique challenges my clients face are a result of major, life-changing events or transitions. But sometimes events are just the catalyst that leads individuals to seek another perspective. Anxiety and depression are very real concerns for most people, but when they keep us from moving forward, it can be very helpful to seek another perspective from someone outside of family or friends.

I am a trauma informed therapist who utilizes EMDR and IFS to help reprocess any experiences of helplessness that have led to diagnoses such as PTSD, anxiety and depression.

We all get stuck at one time or another in our ways of relating to others, reacting to loved ones, or resisting personal change. We can feel overwhelmed by loneliness, isolation, or life circumstances and our ability to cope with them. We find that we are not living authentic lives we can be at peace with due to anxiety, depression or even our past. I understand it can be hard to reach out for help when others depend upon you or expect you to have it all together. Have you tried everything else, and now you find yourself here? Know that you are not alone. Your concerns are valid and worthy of attention. Let's explore them together.

Throughout our counseling sessions, we will develop solutions to achieve these desired outcomes.

Accepting New Clients I have a passion for helping people feel better. I offer a warm, empathic, nonjudgmental approach to treating my clients & always start where my client is at. I am client centered & recognize that every person is unique. Clients have often told me that they feel comfortable opening up to me as they find me down to earth & relatable. You are in charge of your therapy. In other words, if you need me to give you guidance I can. If you need me to be a sounding board, I will. If you need pure emotional support I will provide that for you, and if you need constructive problem solving we can work on that together.

I offer a holistic approach working with both individuals and sometimes their families to provide the best care and outcomes for those in need. Working with parents is usually an important piece to helping a child.
