I tend to use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, depending on your preferences and goals.
I primarily work with clients with anxiety (including obsessive-compulsive disorder and specific phobias), PTSD, and moral injury. My clients tend to work in high-stress occupational settings and hold themselves to high standards. I work best with people who have problems stemming from a desire to be in control all the time, extremely high standards leading to disappointment and self-doubt, and struggle to 'let things go.' My clients want to learn how they can function better in their life, without sacrificing their high standards. I can serve clients living in most states, via telehealth.

Fairfax, VA 22030
Those suffering from addictions, compulsions, anxiety, and relationship problems often seek help when they are acting in ways that they don’t want to act or thinking in ways that don’t support their best interests.
Once freed from blaming and defending, clients can feel great love for themselves and authentic connections with others. Living abroad and working in international relations for eleven years helped me develop an understanding of the conflicting pressures many clients in our region face when seeking counseling while trying to maintain privacy.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
