“Connection is why we’re here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives” - Brene Brown. At some point in our lives, though, we all feel disconnected. Disconnected from ourselves or our relationships with others; disconnected from our faith, values, or beliefs; or disconnected from our passions, hopes, or dreams. This disconnection can lead us to feel hopeless, anxious, or stuck, like we are repeating the same unhelpful patterns, or simply going through the motions of life.

I believe we heal through relationships. They can positively rewire our brains and facilitate growth. In our sessions, we will enter into a therapeutic relationship through conversation. Together we will create a safe space and explore the things that are troubling you. We will learn more about your thoughts, your feelings, and your beliefs. We will examine how those things influence your behaviors. The more you know, the more control you have in the way you move through life. The key to transformational change is awareness. Our focus will be on the present-what is happening now, and how you want to be.

Finding the right therapist is a lot like dating. Are you swiping through the profiles on psychology today and feeling that everyone blends together to the point of where you don't remember who is who? Or are you drained from calling around and finding that nobody is taking on new clients? We hear it all the time and we get it. At Genesis Mental Health Inc, we brought together a team of diverse clinicians across Northern Virginia in terms of gender and ethnicity that understand life situations that have brought you to this point.

Many people struggle with emotions that prevent them from moving forward. At times this requires more help in discovering ways to move past the hurdles and obstacles that are preventing wholeness and balance. This often takes a great deal of courage-facing the anxieties and fears that prevent personal growth. Conquering these fears is not a path one needs to walk alone. Working together in an empathic supportive relationship, we can address the behaviors, thoughts, emotions and experiences that act as stumbling blocks to you achieving your goals and finding fulfillment in life. Working together we can restore peace in your life.

Does it seem like you often second-guess your decisions? Perhaps you deal with anxiety, fear, or uncertainty about the future. It can be hard to move forward when you feel frozen in place. I often work with older teens, college students, and young adults who are facing big life choices. You might be uncertain about your career goals, dealing with decisions about marriage or your relationships, or just adjusting to being out on your own. Often experiences from the past, including trauma, make this even harder. I know these challenges can be overwhelming, and I’m here to help. Independence does not mean you have to go it alone.

I enjoy working with a variety of people who are invested in helping themselves. I believe that we all go through difficult times and working with a therapist can help us to handle the situation in the best way possible. I have experience in helping persons who are dealing with depression, anxiety, OCD, loss of a spouse, and many other life changing events.
