Therapists in Centreville, VA

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in VA and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in FL who believes that each of us has inner strength to help us cope with life’s struggles. My passion for working with others has been life long and much of my desire to help others resulted from my own experience and pain. I am passionate about helping those who are struggling with addictions and couples and/or spouses whose relationships have been affected by infidelity. My goal is to help couples establish healthy communication and begin the healing process either as separate individuals or as a couple.

Greetings from Nucleus Counseling Services (NCS)!! Are you or a loved one experiencing feelings of loneliness, fatigue, low energy, lack of focus, anxiety or are you struggling with a traumatic experience? At Nucleus we believe that healing begins when our core issues are addressed. We are here, via teletherapy, to assist individuals with navigating social/emotional obstacles that may be interfering with day to day function and progress.

Common problems that bring people to therapy are such things as anxiety, depression, loss, relationship difficulties, life transitions and trauma. I use a psychodynamic approach to get an understanding of deeper issues that may underlie these present day problems. My perspective is informed by attachment and trauma focused models, based on the premise that events in one’s personal history can affect present day functioning. I will work with you to formulate a plan to change long standing problems with behaviors and negative perceptions, and to achieve a greater sense of well being.

I began helping others in 1990 as a Peer Counselor (Drug Exemption NCO) while on active duty in the Marine Corps. After earning degrees in Psychology and Social Work at UNCW/ECU, I obtained licensure to practice independently with the Virginia Board of Health Professionals in 2004. I am originally from the Hampton Roads area but have worked internationally with people from many different backgrounds. I have continued to support the military, as well as the community at large, for over 3 decades with evidence-based treatments for trauma (PTSD).

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and received my Masters degree from The Catholic University of America in Washington, DC. I strive to help clients see a way forward from feeling stuck by forming a collaborative, therapeutic relationship. This is where clients feel empowered to maneuver life transitions in an authentic and honest way.

Lately life is relentless. Overwhelming. Filled with demands. Suddenly, you’re full time mom, teacher, employee of the year and queen of the zoom meeting! There’s never a moment to yourself…yet you’ve never felt more alone, invisible, exhausted by it all. You find yourself anxious. How to balance all the competing demands and still have time to wipe down the groceries, let alone sleep a few hours before you get up to do it again? Your mind circles, trying to figure some way out of the trap…you don’t want to be grouchy. You long to get back to connection and peace, to be the fun-loving mom you always thought you’d be.

I have over 20 years of experience helping clients struggling with anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, and relationship problems. I provide individual and couples counseling for adults.

Would you like to become the best version of yourself? That journey begins with figuring out what you want, choosing what you believe and taking responsibility for the changes you want to make. This is a step by step process best achieved in an environment of unconditional positive regard, validation and genuineness. I use evidence-based techniques including Cognitive Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy along with mindfulness, assertiveness training and relaxation techniques. I am out of network for all insurance but happy to help you navigate that process. Ask me if you qualify for a reduced fee.

I offer supportive grief counseling to adults who are living after the death of an important person in their life. I also work with adults who are experiencing serious medical illness who are striving to find balance and purpose in their daily life. In addition I offer supportive counseling to adult family members of people living with chronic medical illnesses and life limiting diagnoses. As of 2023 I am only offering Zoom sessions. Due to limited openings I ask you to please email me and share your current challenges and goals for therapy. A phone consultation will then be scheduled for us to determine if we are a good fit.

Taking the initial step to ask for help is often the hardest, but you are here today, so give yourself credit. Do you struggle to find the drive to get out of bed, finish your schoolwork, or even go to work? Have you stopped enjoying activities you used to enjoy? Have you experienced or witnessed a traumatic event? If you can relate to any of this, let's work together to improve your coping skills and begin the healing process. I aim to support you while you develop your capacity for self-knowledge, personal development, and transformation.

Do you find yourself feeling discarded, abandoned, ignored? Maybe you’re feeling confused, lost or stuck along the path of life? Have these emotions or the stressors of life overwhelmed your ability to cope? My approach is focused on you and your needs. I will support you to engage your strengths and self-compassion right NOW to reach your goals you identify and overcome challenges that you are facing. We will explore how you can thrive in the present, and grow your potential even beyond what you imagine is possible.

In my private practice, I offer individual, couple, and group therapy.

I believe in a compassionate approach to therapy, working collaboratively to see inner and outer challenges in new ways so that you can have new choices in how you wish to them. Sometimes, it's useful to look to the past in therapy so as to change old patterns of thought, emotion and behavior in order to discover more liberating ways of being in the present and the future. Therapy also focuses on developing new skills to handle one's emotions and relationships so as to decrease suffering and work more effectively towards the goals that you care deeply about.
