Bisexual Therapists in Herndon, VA

Yes, I am accepting new clients! Here’s the thing: life is hard. No matter how much we try, we are not exempt from challenges. Whether it's within our family, our relationships, our communities or ourselves, those challenges often make us stuck, overwhelmed, and hopeless. If you’re reading this, you probably know what I’m talking about. Here’s the good news: it doesn't have to stay this way. Things can and do change. I use a wide range of therapy models that allow me to center and hold space for you while working towards your goals at your pace.

I work with adolescents, adolescents transitioning to adulthood, and adults, providing individual therapy, parent coaching, and family support. While I also work with neurotypical individuals, my expertise is Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. I do a lot of work with ASD teens experiencing social difficulties, anxiety and depression. I have a strong background with ADHD, anxiety, and families coping with stress and anger challenges. This includes students struggling with transitions to middle, high school or college, and parents needing support with a challenging child, teen or young adult.

This is a hard time. Sometimes we get stuck and need someone outside of our circle to help us figure things out. I help people to more deeply understand and change negative or addictive behaviors that are dramatically impacting their lives. Relationships can be so complicated, and trying to find different ways to communicate can feel like a mystery. I work with people struggling with all types of addictions, depression, anxiety, bipolar, and personality disorders. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental, compassionate environment where we will work together to explore areas that are causing pain, and we will find new ways to cope.

Very few adults, let alone children or teenagers, jump at the chance to start seeing a therapist. Difficult circumstances might have brought you to this point: communication problems with family members, frequent arguments, feeling stressed out, or having intense feelings of depression and anxiety. I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment for my clients. My approach is personal, practical, non judgmental. I work in a variety of ways, depending on your or your child's needs and preference, using cognitive behavioral therapy, art therapy, and play therapy.

Marriage, relationships, PTSD, Trauma, anxiety, stress, depression. Creating an environment in which people safely express their feelings, learn to manage the stressors in their relationships and to meet their goals is an essential focus of my practice. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years experience in providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples and families. I have had specialized training and experience in the treatment of couples, trauma, PTSD, depression, and anxiety. I have also focused on helping individuals and couples whose relationships have suffered from intense conflicts, stressors and emotions. I am fluent in Spanish and a working knowledge of French.
