Therapists in Fairfax, VA

Are you struggling to build or maintain relationships, manage emotions, or adjust to life's challenges? Depression, anxiety, anger, autism, schizophrenia, bipolar, and other disorders can be challenging to face alone. Therapy can help you build coping skills that you can use to overcome your challenges. While trauma can cause great pain in your life, learning the tools to become more positive and more focused can turn those defeats into the very things that build perseverance. I have helped clients of all ages overcome challenges to unlock more fulfilling lives. So reach out, I look forward to helping.

I am a warm, caring therapist with a sense of humor and extensive experience working with adolescents and young adults. I specialize in helping people with problems resulting from anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship difficulties at work and in school. I am particularly skilled at building rapport with difficult and treatment resistant clients. As a clinical psychologist I have extensive training in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and have seen many clients improve with these techniques. I have helped people overcome their problems in a variety of settings including hospitals, university counseling centers, community mental health clinics, and schools.

Do you find yourself feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or anxious? Is your child experiencing behavioral issues? Everyone needs additional support from time to time to deal with life's challenges. I view clients as experts of their own experiences and take a collaborative approach to counseling. Working together, we can develop the tools and insights needed to achieve your therapeutic goals. In addition to this person-centered approach, I utilize solutions-focused, acceptance and commitment (ACT), cognitive behavioral (CBT), and dialectical behavioral (DBT) therapeutic modalities and mindfulness tools based on clients' needs.

Clients describe my style as relaxed and conversational. I have extensive experience with CBT, DBT, and Self Compassion therapy models and my focus is sharing strategies from these models in clear and uncomplicated ways. I focus on building a relationship with my clients so they feel safe to talk about what's going on without throwing a bunch of clinical jargon at them. This can be tough work, my goal is to provide a meaningful experience and help you figure things out.

Are you tired of not living up to your potential? Are situations from your past not allowing you to live in the moment or prepare for your future? Do you feel misunderstood and unappreciated? Do you want to learn to value "you"? You are an unique individual, and you deserve therapy that is tailored to your specific needs. I will work with you to try to help you achieve your goals and address your concerns in a manner that is effective for you within a warm and nonjudgmental atmosphere. We will work as a team as you are the expert on you!

The goal of all therapy and counseling is to reduce suffering. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, impulsivity, ADHD, relationship problems, traumatic past, gender identity, sexual orientation, or just feeling stuck and dissatisfied with life, therapy can be a powerful vehicle for holistic change and increased peace and contentment. By focusing on your natural strengths we work collaboratively to identify the roadblocks internally and externally getting in the way of leading a fulfilled life.

I created and direct The ADHD College Success Guidance Program to help high school and college students succeed academically and grow successful careers. We offer college readiness/success training, individual, family, and group therapy, parent education/support, and academic coaching. These services are designed and integrated around a unique model developed during my 30+ years of clinical and research activities with people who have ADHD.

The focus of my practice is to help people manage and cope better, and to help them understand themselves better in the process. I find it incredibly gratifying to be part of the healing and growth process that defines the psychotherapy experience. My patients work on relationship issues, substance abuse issues, work issues, depression and anxiety issues, and developmental issues having to do with the ever changing demands on all of us as we get older. I also work with couples and families, with particular emphasis on adolescence and young adulthood in the family work that I do.

Often many individuals realize the need for professional assistance in order to successfully navigate and cope with barriers they are experiencing, whether this is relationship strain, personal difficulties such as intense emotional responses, or goals to achieve. In many cases there are learned behaviors that cause distress which resulted from previous experiences and further shape our choices into the future. Regardless of the barrier, individuals seek support when these begin to impact their ability to function day to day.

I currently specialize in helping children and families address and resolve the various issues which interfere with a satisfying personal and family life. I welcome adults who are struggling with the challenges of parenting and have developed innovative and effective methods to assist in the ongoing self development of the parent. My practice includes an explicit commitment to under served populations especially BIPOC youth and families. Sliding scale fees are available and extensive specialized trainings in anti-racism, diversity, equity and cultural sensitivity reflect my commitment to conscious, competent and welcoming services.

Success in life is about resilience, effective strategies, skill, and successful problem identification and solving. Relationship problems, problems at work, family problems, resolving trauma and abuse, the panic, despair, and/or rage that may be getting in your way, lack of direction in life and self-doubt, eating problems, spending problems, addictions, etc. - in short, the suffering you or a loved one is experiencing - center around the lack of these four things. I and the Graduate Residents who work with me have a proven record of helping many clients move toward the lives and the results they want.

He specializes in the LGBTQ+ community.

Sometimes in life it can be difficult to find your path of growth due to past, current or unforeseen stressors. I like to think of therapy as us having a casual conversation that ebbs and flows based on where you are in that moment. It can seem intimidating but I am here to tell you that you will not go through this journey of growth alone. I want you to reach whatever goals and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the process as much as possible, and experiencing yourself in new ways.

Traumatic experiences can and will affect us in various ways. Loneliness, negativity, abandonment, rejection, and our reactions can severely impact our mental health. Ironically, it is often easier to push away people than deal with difficult feelings. Unfortunately, we choose this path by abusing substances, alcohol, and other types of addictions. When we run away from our feelings and challenges, we are not allowing ourselves to heal and recover. Essentially, we are hurting ourselves and others. Together we can work through these difficult experiences and navigate around the painful emotions to feel better and find joy again.

The journey of finding a therapist can be difficult and frustrating at times. You may ask yourself, "do I really need to talk with someone?" Coming to the realization that you may need to talk to some one is challenging . Taking that first step in searching, for someone, to talk to is moving in the direction, of finding peace, hope and healing.
