Therapists in Falls Church, VA

Accepting Clients! Are you not feeling like yourself, dealing with stress in this post-COVID haze, or would like to process anxiety? Therapy is a great way to deal with the things that happen in your life and I would like to walk through this journey with you. I meet my clients where they are and create unique treatment plans with a wide range of techniques tailored to you. I work with teens and adults that are suffering from anxiety and depression along with other issues such as emotional regulation, attachment, behavioral issues, transitions, and impulse control disorders.

Therapy is a lot like the rest of life: To achieve results requires more than luck, or just showing up. It takes enough stress to compel your first call, a commitment to do the work, and absolutely finding the right match of a therapist with your unique personality style. With 30 years of work in community mental health, public schools, and private practice, I have joined with a diverse group of individuals wanting to make changes in their lives. If you are looking for someone who is welcoming and skilled, please give me a call today to get started. I work with individuals and provide clinical consultation to parents.

I am passionate about working with children, adolescents and young adults who are experiencing a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, interpersonal/relationship conflict, life transitions, trauma, behavior problems and family conflict. Drawing from a variety of techniques and approaches founded in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness, our work together will help you recognize your own strengths and empower you with the skills and tools to face the challenges of life.

We are convinced we have a problem. We're focused on it, worried about it, and it often feels like it defines us. These problems tend to show up or worsen during life and relationship transitions. Attending to what isn't working, as well as being intentional about addressing these problems, is necessary for change. Easily overlooked though, are the jewels - the opportunities hiding behind those problems. Psychotherapy provides a safe space for growth opportunities - offering compassion to those parts of ourselves we don't like or shame us, while allowing for the fluidity, flexibility and movement required for transformations.

What if you could get depression or anxiety to take a backseat in your life. What if your relationships could get to a better place. Have you been noticing things in everyday life are more difficult to manage? You are not alone. We can tackle these challenges together as we explore the change that moves you closer to the life you desire. I can help you restore the balance between mind and body that can ease depression, calm anxious thoughts, and regain safety. I am currently taking new clients and I would love the opportunity to be a part of your healing journey. Book your consultation or first session now using my website link.

Do you ever feel stuck in or powerless over situations in your life? Do you feel like you’re repeating the same patterns over and over again? Are you struggling to find joy and connection? These experiences are a normal part of the human condition. Maintaining the status quo and avoiding discomfort are often our instinct, but they can keep us from living our most authentic and fulfilling lives. In our work together, we can explore the root causes of what is getting in the way so that you can heal from past or current traumas, develop new habits, learn to embrace and love your truest self, and create a life that is fulfilling to you.

Does it ever feel like something’s missing? Maybe you’re feeling a bit stuck? Or maybe you’re not sure what it is you’re feeling? I know how exhausting it can be to carry as usual on when you’re feeling this way, and my goal is to help you figure out what’s going on and how to resolve it. My approach is empathetic, laid-back, and nonjudgmental, and I’m here to tailor our time together based on your needs and your strengths. I believe in supporting the flexibility and growth of the whole person, and that building a respectful, trusting, and collaborative therapeutic relationship is essential to using our time together effectively.

I believe that for every person is unique and treatment solutions should be tailored to meet these individual needs.I stress creating a comfortable-judgement free environment to maximize trust and comfort in the therapeutic relationship. Within the safety of a trusting and respectful therapeutic relationship lies the power to overcome the most seemingly overwhelming obstacles.

If you tend to get easily triggered by your past negative experiences and live in constant anxiety/depression without being able to control your emotions, you might suffer from trauma. If you are depressed, arguing with your partner all the time, feeling trapped, disconnected, misunderstood, and sad. And, If your relationship is no longer working, and you think that perhaps the only solution is separation, there is hope and help for it. Using Imago Therapy, EMDR, and Sensorimotor Therapy, clients can process, overcome and integrate all these issues and live a happy and fulfilled life.

Everyone agrees life gets really hard sometimes, yet many of us grow up believing we should dig deep and tough it out. The fact is, sometimes we need a little guidance. Careers, children, relationships, friends, even exercise all compete for our limited energy and attention. No wonder we sometimes feel so overwhelmed and misunderstood that even loading the dishwasher can lead to a fight. But times of challenge--even those as painful as an affair--also offer us the chance to learn who we are and grow closer to those who matter most to us.

Connection with a loved one is the best source of resilience and comfort. As a Certified Emotionally Focused Couple Therapist (EFT), strengthening your connection with your loved one(s) is my overarching goal. Whether there has been a relationship rupture, a recent stressful life event, or your fast-paced life has just worn down your relationship, sitting together while experiencing the structured and empirically-validated process of EFT will help you open up with each other and build (or, re-build) your bond. Your love for each other can be re-energized and strengthened as a result of couple therapy.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience treating addictions, anxiety, obsessive thinking, depression, communication/ relationship issues, and life phase struggles. As a counselor, I am privileged to be able to share in my clients' journeys and to help them overcome difficulties. 20 years of practice have shown me that when faced with overwhelming struggles we must first acknowledge their existence, and only then can we reach for the help necessary to find achievable solutions. In the safety of a grounded, knowledgeable, and insight-oriented counseling experience I believe this is possible.

We all need a place to open up and be treated with compassion and empathy, but at the same time challenged to create change. I can offer you this space by establishing a safe, non-judgmental environment and collaboratively working on goals to achieve a healthier way of living.
