Aetna Therapists in Fredericksburg, VA

Welcome! Reaching out for help is not always easy. Like you, many people have experienced anxiety, depression, life stress, relationship issues, and trauma. Some have tried to heal on their own and struggled. Others have tried talk therapy and felt disheartened by it. Many clients show up here when they have lost hope in their healing journey. To minimize this, a unique and evidence-based approach that allows the brain and body to heal is provided here. Healing these parts of you is crucial to feeling better.

While life events and transitions can be overwhelming and isolating, you never have to be alone. Through the therapeutic process, I will empathetically work with you to understand your goals and help guide you to wellness. I love working with ages spanning from late teens to older adults during life transitions. I feel as though we can all have a “harsh inner critic”; this critic is difficult to silence or challenge. Many times, we ask ourselves, “why did this happen” or “why do I feel this way”? When we ask ourselves “why”, we tend to reinforce shame. Think about it, “why” indicates there is just one answer.
