Therapists Beginning With F in Virginia

I specialize in complex trauma (C-PTSD), relationships, addiction, depression, anxiety, and ADHD. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. People often carry their pain for years; scared that they are broken, that they don’t deserve happiness, or that changing will only make things worse. But the fact that you are here now shows that a part of you wants more from life, and is ready to try again. Though it takes courage and perseverance to face this pain and risk trusting another person to help, I hope you will listen to the part of you the brought you here today.

I view counseling and therapy as a means of self actualization ,where people can become comfortable in their own skins. Problems causing pain in the present are addressed as well as developing an understanding of each person's history in a way that allows the person to keep the positives but "unlearn" the lessons that interfere with current life satisfaction.Being understood and understanding oneself can bring comfort. I bring my professional training and experience to bear and provide a safe,confidential environment where this work can be done.

I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where we focus on healing as we address issues with: Family, relationships, unresolved emotional issues, self-doubt and low self-esteem, guilt and shame, emotional intimacy and trust, anxiety and depression, parenting, substance use and addiction, processing traumatic or painful experiences that may have occurred during childhood, and fertility and pregnancy issues. I work with individuals, couples, and families to help them value, trust, and connect more deeply with themselves and their loved ones.

Do you struggle with substance use as your primary diagnosis or concern and are ready to be empowered to make positive change in your life? Research shows it does not matter what circumstances bring a person to substance abuse counseling but the individual effort they are willing to put forth. My goal is to meet a person where they are, and assist in providing the tools necessary for success.

In my practice, I always start with genuine empathy to create a safe, nonjudgmental space. My therapeutic approach is action-oriented and primarily present-focused. What are you doing right now that is contributing to your desired outcome? My eclectic treatment interventions pull from behavioral, cognitive, motivational interviewing, and superhero therapy perspectives. I work together with my clients to find a strategy that specifically addresses their needs. Through helping develop coping skills, healthy boundaries and positive self-talk mantras, I empower my clients to face and overcome the obstacles in their path.

It is a difficult task to find a therapist that will meet you where you are at and be comfortable sharing who you really are.

Many of us have been trained to quiet our voice, quiet our body, stuff negativity away or worse bury it. Living in the world we do with impossible expectations placed on us, this cycle is perpetrated by encouraging us to distract ourselves or check out pretending this pain inside of us does not exist. But "the body keeps score", and it will find a way to remind us that this is not acceptable. This is especially difficult if you noticed your relationships are taking a hit or seem to be stagnant. We must end this cycle and create a new cycle of healing. My goal is to be that space where you can be you with all the quirks included.
