Teletherapy for Springfield, VA

Having feelings of being overwhelmed, stressed, or not feeling like you know what to do? Do you find yourself feeling down or not as happy as you use to be? Emotional pain can be debilitating and wreak havoc on our lives at times. Feeling uncomfortable distressed, or lonely does not have to be a way of life. There is hope for finding that balance once again in your life and that hope starts now by the fact you are looking for support. I work with teens, adults, and seniors seeking help in addressing sadness and depression, stress and anxiety, loss and grief, and responses to traumatic events.

"The day came when the risk it took to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." --Anais Nin. When people migrate to a different culture from their own they may experience significant stress and anxiety.Culture Shock is a term used to describe the stress and anxiety one feels in a new culture. As a result of the challenges and cultural shock they experience, a person may feel sad, lonely, angry, lost and confused. Having gone through the immigration process, I know some of the challenges others experience.

I believe therapists are the keepers of hope and the navigators of difficult journeys. We walk alongside our clients as they move through challenging moments and changes in their lives. I have witnessed people become stuck and unsure how to navigate these moments. Some of those challenges include traumatic events, relationship and social identity, career and educational transitions, phase of life changes, and immigration and acculturative stress. Sometimes it feels as though there is no way forward. But there is always a path forward and I believe counseling is one of those paths.

Therapy is meant to be a completely individual experience and I treat it as such with compassion and cultural humility. My goal as a therapist is to assist you in developing personalized coping skills which foster resilience for challenging life transitions while also helping you to discover your purpose in life. I offer compassionate listening as we work together to find comfort and resolve in the difficult areas of your life, relationships and the challenges you are facing. I have specialized maternal mental health training with Postpartum Virginia Support and I am certified as a marriage facilitator with Prep/Enrich.

Hey there, Thanks for peeking at my profile. Finding the right clinician can be quite a task. You want someone with serious expertise, a therapist who can change your life by creating a safe space for you to open up. Over time, we will tap into more than just your mind - your gut, lungs, and heart will join the conversation. Rediscovering authentic connection with our emotions is crucial. I believe in various therapeutic approaches, yet a client-clinician bond rooted in authenticity makes the real difference. My goal is to truly understand you - your fears, your dreams, what makes you tick.

Finding the appropriate therapist for you can the make the difference in being able to benefit from therapy. With the appropriate tools and insight, a therapist can help uncover resources you already own, or are able to develop as part of a deeper understanding of self. I believe a therapeutic relationship, one that is built on trust, honesty, genuineness, open mindedness and acceptance, has the ability to create meaningful and lasting change in a person's life.

In-person sessions available in Springfield, VA. Virtual sessions available in Virginia. Each person has a story filled with obstacles and challenges that make them who they are. Sometimes, those challenges and obstacles become too much to clearly think through. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, judgement-free zone to help you process your story and come out stronger and happier at the end. Through our work together, we can challenge who you are, and make you who you want to be, by understanding your foundation as an individual and how your thoughts, feelings, and environment impact you.

I specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, disordered eating, and related mental health issues for women including depression, anxiety, body image struggles, self-harm, and relationship distress. Therapy requires both the therapist and the client to be active - I think of it as a joint venture of taking on your unwanted symptoms together. The process of recovery and therapy may feel daunting to you. A part of you may want freedom from your symptoms and yet another part seems to be holding on to your current lifestyle. These are normal feelings and talking about this dilemma is a good place to start.

I've worked extensively with persons with anxiety and depression, both in over a decade of private practice and over a decade in the hospice care of dying individuals and their family. I help to differentiate between anxiety (non productive worry) and concern (productive worry). Once separated you can focus on what you can control vs can't and stop the cycle of worry-overwhelmed-depressed. I deliberately purpose my practice to a concerted collaborative relationship with my clients who I view as the authority on themselves.

I have 20 years of experience counseling a diverse array of adult clients.

Anyone who is seeking out change is already on the right path. Making the decision to work with a therapist can be challenging, but as with most things in life, it is often about the relationship. Whatever the issue is that brings you to therapy, whether it’s depression, anxiety, or trauma, removing the barriers that are standing in the way of a more vital life is a brave step. My specific interest areas are interpersonal conflict, family issues and supporting individuals in confidence building and self advocacy.
