I am accepting new clients and am offering video sessions via Zoom or Doxy for clients who are distancing. I am a post-doctoral psychologist that works with a wide range of populations including teens and adults. I provide individually personalized care that is centered in the client's therapeutic goals to offer the best possible outcomes. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) but also use an integrative approach to therapy because all of my clients are different and deserve specialized care.

I work with individuals, couples and families dealing with a variety of conditions. Whether there is one person or more in my office, my therapeutic philosophy is the same. This is because I believe that the quality of our relationships has a direct impact on the overall quality of our lives. For individuals, this means taking ownership of your own personal actions, values and personal growth. I help couples to learn how to improve their communication skills, develop tools to enhance their relationship, create better boundaries, and identify positive ways to respond to their spouse amid conflict and differences in perspective.

Whether you're struggling with a particular issue, or just can't shake the feeling that there should be more to life, I am dedicated to help you create a healthier and more satisfying life. Getting support during difficult times can be helpful in encouraging yourself to move more confidently in a positive direction. I provide a caring environment in which you can gain better insight into yourself and your emotions, and embody this awareness in action that leads to an empowered life where you feel competent to take on life's challenges in a secure and confident way.

Are you struggling with feeling stuck in a cycle of behaviors or thought patterns that you just can’t seem to get out of? Do you find yourself trying to avoid, ignore, numb out from, or are simply overwhelmed by your emotions? Experiencing pain and brokenness is a part of life, although oftentimes we wish it wasn't. We would prefer to just skip past all the hard parts. But our wounds and areas of brokenness don’t have to define us. Instead, they can be catalysts for resilience, growth and compassion, toward yourself and others. I believe true healing is possible for everyone, no matter what you have been through or who you are.

Are you dealing with anxiety, stress, feeling overwhelmed, work issues or life changes?

I am a clinically licensed social worker in both DC & Virginia. I have experience working with adults suffering from anxiety/depression, complex medical issues, memory issues, grief/loss, self-esteem/self-confidence issues, and families connected with child and family services. I have experience working in long-term care, primary care settings, and memory clinic settings. I use a strengths-based, person-centered, and solution-focused approach in hopes to help address your needs and help you reach your goals.

I believe that everyone can benefit from psychotherapy. Utilizing this process can help you to identify, develop, and implement behavioral, emotional, and cognitive change that can allow you to feel more centered and self-confident, and can provide an increased sense of empowerment to address future challenges. I view seeking help through psychotherapy as a sign of strength rather than of weakness. Taking this step often makes one feel anxious, but my experience is that once taken, people usually feel a sense of relief, combined with an increase in hopefulness. In a way, seeking help is the first step on the path to healing.

With almost a decade of experience as an art therapist, I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and teens coping with anxiety, depression, adjustment disorder, difficult life transitions, impulse control, anger management, panic attacks, and grief and loss. "Art therapy gets to the part of the brain where we may not have words”- Lindsey Vance's passion for art and the creative process.”

All great changes are preceded by chaos. - Deepak Chopra....... In such uncertain times, it is common to feel confused, disorganized and uncertain about the future. Think back to a time in your life when change was inevitable, though difficult what was the silver lining? What did you learn? How did you grow? and How can you compare this to your current disposition? While we face so much adversity and ambiguity, it is ok to feel out of control.

I believe that a safe, nonjudgmental space allows for true insight, healing, and growth. I have a person-centered counseling approach that is both patient and warm, as well as flexible and open-minded.

As a resident in counseling, I’m committed to helping people who have experienced something traumatizing in their life, people who are looking for someone to help them make sense of what has happened to them, or people who feel like they have no one to turn to for support. I have experience working with adults and adolescents who have experienced trauma, domestic violence, sexual trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship issues, and self-esteem concerns.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been working with individuals, couples, and families for over 15 years.

I am a client-centered, strength-based licensed professional counselor with 20+ years of experience. I provide an individual approach to therapy based on your unique needs and partner with you to 1) determine desired outcomes, 2) identify what is standing in your way and 3) develop specific strategies for successful change. Because good psychotherapy puts you and your concerns at the center stage of a counseling relationship, you have the opportunity to talk about yourself, explore your own feelings and life experiences and come to understand your patterns of behavior.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a specialization in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I developed my specialty in treating emotional trauma by working with PTSD field experts at the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs. I offer gold-standard PTSD interventions endorsed by the National Center for PTSD and the American Psychological Association: Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE). I value evidence based therapies that are demonstrated to improve mental health. Many of my patients are active duty, veteran and federally employed (civilian).

I understand that self-care, healthy interventions, and emotional support are essential factors in the therapeutic relationship. Sessions are focused on assisting clients in helping them manage the emotions they experience in their daily lives through a person-centered approach. I strive to assist clients in processing and breaking down their problems, challenges, or past trauma by creating a supportive environment and goal-oriented approach. I understand that each person's needs are different and a diverse approach is used to assist each person in meeting their goals and creating change.

"You may have a fresh start any time you choose, for this thing we call 'failure' is not the falling down, but the staying down." - Mary Pickford. I specialize in working with adolescents, families, and couples who are experiencing issues related to trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, depression and military issues. I help clients recognize thought patterns that are destructive to themselves and their relationships so that they can create a new version of themselves by increasing their self esteem, self worth, and by giving them strategies to overcome.

Are you ready to embark on a new journey to transformation? Are you feeling disconnected and alone? Are you struggling with negative thoughts that keep you stuck? Many of us have experienced hard circumstances that have weighed us down and keep us in reoccurring feelings and negative situations. If any of this sounds familiar, I would be honored to meet you. One of the most important factors in the effectiveness of counseling is whether or not you feel “understood” and accepted. You will find that in our sessions.
