Personality Disorders Therapists in Herndon, VA

I primarily support adolescents and adults who present with a variety of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, personality disorders , trauma and those who struggle with emotion regulation and tolerating discomfort. Typically, my clients have a history of unsuccessful treatments and often present with a history of prior hospitalizations. Many of my clients struggle with self-harming behaviors, substance use and/or suicidal ideation. I also support couples and families seeking a more balanced family dynamic. I work as part of a team at In Step, collaboratively working to support teens, their parents, and adults.

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.

I work with adolescents, adults and couples utilizing an integrated therapeutic approach with an emphasis on psychodynamic, attachment and cognitive perspectives.

My therapeutic approach is strength-based and practical. I draw from a number of different treatment approaches (including but not limited to: CBT, Humanistic, Family Systems, DBT) to most effectively address your presenting issues, reduce symptoms, and meet your goals in seeking treatment.

Facing the stressors of daily life activities can be daunting in the best of circumstances. Anxiety, depression, and past traumatic experiences can make those every day challenges seem overwhelming and insurmountable. My job as your counselor is to help you make sense of your presenting situation, support you, and walk with you through the process of healing the pain and discovering your strengths.

Ever looked in the mirror and wondered: “Is there something wrong with me?” "Does anyone else feel this way?" You’re not alone, and you’re so much more than a diagnosis. You’re a whole human, put together in a unique and beautiful way. You need meaningful connections, a feeling of being at-home in your body, and tried-and-true tools for coping with life’s challenges. You deserve to meet yourself right where you are, and to be treated with understanding and compassion. But let’s be honest, finding a therapist can be a little intimidating. Sometimes, you need someone who will really listen. Others, you need more specialized expertise.
