Therapists Beginning With K in Virginia
Beginning therapy can feel daunting, especially when life already feels overwhelming. Young adults navigating transitions, parents juggling countless responsibilities, and couples working through relational challenges often feel stretched thin. The thought of pausing to focus inward may seem like just another task on an endless list. Yet reaching out for support is an act of courage, one that creates space to step back, breathe, and reconnect with yourself.
Central to my work is an appreciation for the powerful connection between mind and body. I integrate biological, psychological, and philosophical perspectives to create change.

I am a therapist because I am passionate about accompanying individuals on their self-understanding, exploration, and healing journey. The environment I provide is nonjudgmental, open, and safe. It focuses on an integration of mind, body, and spirit. I believe each individual is unique so I use a variety of approaches to assist my clients, depending on individual needs. I completed my internship and residency in Community Mental Health (IOP), Juvenile Detention Center, Methadone Clinic, Private Practice (PHP), and Residential/Acute. Currently, I provide services in DC and Virginia, but I only provide virtual sessions at this time.

"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you" Maya Angelou. Words have power, words build the world around us, your story has power. As a clinician I do not just treat depression, anxiety, trauma etc. I treat the person experiencing the symptoms of those diagnoses. I want to know your story, to help you regain control of your story, & help you write the next chapters of your life with joy instead of fear, frustration, or negativity. Trauma is my specialty, however I treat most mental health disorders - particularly depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, aging related disorders, & family therapy.

Our personal difficulties are often a "Catch 22," -- comfortable, familiar patterns of behavior inadvertently keep us in unhealthy/unsatisfactory circumstances or relationships. As your therapist, I aim to help you understand your current problems in the context of your unique life experiences, allowing you to develop insight into how your difficulties developed while growing in ways that get you 'unstuck.' I do this by facilitating conversations about your interpersonal relationships (past and present); early life experiences; what you are thinking and feeling (or may be preventing yourself from feeling); and how you communicate your thoughts, feelings, and needs with others.

I specialize in EMDR therapy for trauma and fear that interferes with functioning, confidence, and success. I work with individuals who have previously failed high-stakes exams—such as medical boards or professional licensing tests—where anxiety and past experiences now interfere with performance. I also help athletes recovering from sports injuries who feel physically healed but psychologically unable to compete, as well as individuals who experience driving anxiety following accidents. EMDR is used to resolve the underlying nervous-system responses that keep the mind and body stuck in past failure, injury, or danger.

Mental health challenges are common. Most people will have a mental health challenge in their life. Are you feeling anxious or depressed? Are you in a problem relationship and don’t know what to do? Has it been difficult to break free of the cycle? Do you feel unworthy? Do you wish you could stop people pleasing? Do you wish you could say no to people without feeling guilty? Perhaps you have tried to work on these problems on your own, but it has been hard. If this describes you, reach out. These challenges can hold you back; rob you of your peace, calmness and happiness; make you feel lonely, isolated, and directionless.
