Therapists Beginning With F in Virginia

I welcome you to feel supported, uplifted and understood at our agency Release it Counseling! I am therapist who knows how it feels to lack support, confidence and understanding in the most important times in your life. My goal is that I help to support, uplift & understand you, helping you to overcome trauma, stagnation, abuse and more. You don’t have to walk these challenging circumstances alone. From others bad decisions or even our own, we can find ourselves in ruts that can keep us bound to sadness, worry, fear and much more. But when you have the right tools, support and a clear vision, you can strike down any Goliath!

I highly value trust and connection in order for humans to heal. I bring my authentic self and transparency into session in order to give clients the ability to be fully themselves. My goal is to help ease psychological suffering brought on by trauma and other negative life circumstances and then make sense of the overwhelming emotions/responses. It is through compassion and connection that corrective emotional experiences can occur. I believe that our ability to both experience and understand our Self and others is a key component in building secure (emotionally safe) relationships.

I welcome the opportunity to work with individuals looking for help with issues including substance use, depression, bipolar, anxiety, trauma, life transition, and more. I offer individual sessions for adults as well as couple sessions. I enjoy working with clients from different cultures, backgrounds, and experiences.

I have had the opportunity to work with clients in a variety of settings, including a non-profit, a crisis stabilization unit, a community mental health agency, and a private practice. I also have 20 years of experience in marketing, higher education administration, and K-12 online education. I have worked with a wide range of clients dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, family and relationship issues, career challenges, and other various stage of life concerns. I also have extensive training and experience working with clients with body-focused repetitive behaviors such as trichotillomania and skin-picking.

There are times in life when you need an ally. Someone to listen, offer feedback, and help you realize your potential. During such times a therapist can be an important support. Whether you are struggling with isolation during COVID, are finding it hard to move past a break up, or cope with the absence of a loved one. Perhaps the struggle of "adulting" has you in total disbelief, or at a loss for words. These are times when you have an opportunity to make great change. Not because someone told you to go to therapy, but because you want to find yourself. My goal is to help you find your way and renew your outlook on life.

My primary area of specialty involves psychotherapy for individuals with bipolar disorder (individual therapy, couples and/or family sessions pertaining to the disorder). In terms of broader practice areas, my work is directed towards depressive disorders, personality disorders, adjustment and transition issues (employment change, empty nesting, death of a loved one, divorce, geographic relocation, retirement, etc.), GLBT issues, as well as individuals dealing with adjustment to physical disability. I have been licensed as a psychologist and practicing for over 40+ years.

Individuals living with neurological disorders, as well as their family members, often can benefit from support as they are adjusting to functional changes and daily challenges. Physical, cognitive, and emotional/behavioral symptoms may result from altered brain functioning associated with a variety of neurological disorders, including TBI, stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and dementias. Personal/family and social relationships are known to change. Appreciating these changes and formulating realistic goals can make a positive difference moving forward in life.

Almost everyone can benefit from counseling! Whether you're looking to sort through challenging emotions or experiences, improve your relationships, explore areas for personal growth, or develop skills to cope with stress, it helps to talk with someone whose only goal is to empathetically support you in making the change(s) you seek. Those who have experienced trauma often have difficulty regulating their emotions, building meaningful relationships, and coping with stress, and they tend to find that substances like alcohol and other drugs make hard things easier. These are not character flaws; this is reasonable response to trauma.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. I enjoy helping clients work through difficulties with depression and anxiety, life transitions, and family/relationship issues. I have a background in school psychology and extensive experience treating mood and anxiety disorders, ADHD, academic and learning challenges, behavioral issues, and autism. I love supporting clients as they achieve goals, make challenging decisions, and gain greater levels of self-awareness. I have a background in psychological assessment; however, I am not currently conducting evaluations.

Most of us struggle with overwhelming emotions and situations at some point in our lives. How we cope often has its origin in our family and serves us well in some ways and not in others. I will collaborate with you to identify these patterns and make the changes that bring you greater health. I work with people in their late teens and beyond to address issues related to mood, relationships, life transitions and problematic behaviors.

Are you struggling to navigate intense emotions & experiences? Do you need a soft space to land and cope with life transitions, anxiety, depression or burnout? Are you trying to cultivate resilience, peace & connection after trauma & PTSD? Whether you are new to therapy or just new to me, seeking help can be overwhelming. Life doesn’t always unfold as neatly as we hoped or planned. Good therapy should feel like you’ve reached a refuge of safety to reflect, heal & grow into your best self without judgment. You deserve to feel empowered, affirmed & supported in your daily life, even when life feels lonely, chaotic, or painful.

If you are looking for a therapist with whom you can comfortably share your problems and everyday life issues that are interfering with your happiness, I can help address your concerns. I have worked in the mental health field for over 35 years. My undergraduate training at University of Virginia and graduate work at Catholic University focused on training in the psychodynamic approach. Today, I use a combination of that approach, which makes connections to previous experiences, with cognitive-behavioral techniques to help you think more positively and feel better in the future.

Therapy is a personal journey that requires safety and trust. No two journeys are the same, but I believe every journey is worth it. I would be honored to join you as you embark or continue your therapy journey and progress down your own path. I have over five years of experience working with Adults in the Northern Virginia area with an array of diagnoses including depression, anxiety, substance use, personality disorders, and symptoms of psychosis.

You are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a solution-focused, humanistic therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
