Female Therapists in Fairfax, VA

Life can be a roller coaster. It takes us high with the birth of a child, falling in love, or reaching new goals. It may drop us low mourning a death, suffering abuse, grappling with sexual issues, feeling isolated. Sometimes we feel stuck with no hope on the horizon. You are unique but not alone. Whatever your struggles might be, fighting these battles on your own can be difficult, painful and overwhelming. Your struggles are your journey and sometimes it feels like that road comes to a dead end. Because each journey is unique, I use an integration of therapies to seek other inroads into your healing. One size does not fit all.

I am a licensed therapist (LPC), Clinical Supervisor and Founder of Healing Hearts VA. My clientele has been men and women in their 20s and 30s. I am passionate in helping undergraduates and recent graduates figure out their career planning and life decisions without the pressures of outside influences. As a first-generation graduate, I understand first hand how cultural pressures, societal norms, people pleasing, perfectionism and self doubt can hinder one’s voice, and decision making processes. I also welcome prospective clients interested in faith-based counseling.

Your confidence has taken a hit but you are ready to find your happy place again, sleep easy at night and find the place of peace you crave. You are ready to find you again!

Are you a 40+ woman who is twice exceptional (intelligent and ADHD), feeling overwhelmed? Is it even harder because your parents are accomplished people, and you feel like you can't keep up with expectations? You are hardworking and others count on you. But there are days when it feels like it takes all you have just to get dressed and out the door. Your brain either supercharged or foggy, and you can't often predict which it will be. So you sometimes feel like an Impostor who is just "pulling it off". You had trauma, recently or in the past, which doesn't help. You are ready for change, but you need to be understood.

I help women through trying to conceive, infertility issues, grief and loss, adoption, pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

I specialize in working with adults and young women who have experienced traumatic events (childhood sexual abuse, rape, domestic violence, physical abuse, car accidents, military trauma, etc) and are experiencing trauma symptoms. The traumatic event may also lead to emotional dysregulation, self harm behaviors, hospitalizations and/or a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder, among many other disorders. I also have a passion for working with veterans of post 9/11 wars who have a diagnosis of PTSD. My goal is to help others find and achieve their "life worth living".

Life is full of uncertainties, difficult decisions, and dark moments. You don't have to navigate these issues alone. I want to provide you with a fresh perspective, give some feedback, and shine some light on those dark moments. My experience includes working with couples, individuals, and teens who have suffered trauma, learning disabilities, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. I employ a person-centered, solution-focused, and cognitive-behavioral approach to the therapeutic relationship, using techniques that are based on the client's specific needs and goals. I also utilize EMDR for processing traumatic events.

Finding a therapist who is a great match is essential when you turn to counseling to help build or grow your family. You likely feel stressed, depressed, or isolated as you have encountered setbacks. I help individuals and couples experiencing infertility, coping with pregnancy loss, considering third-party reproduction or adoption, or deciding to live child-free. I have more than 20 years working with RESOLVE, the National Infertility Association. We will work as a team as I teach you to make challenging decisions, manage stress, enhance your relationship, heal from loss, and manage symptoms of depression and anxiety.
