Therapists Beginning With K in Virginia

Are you looking for a solution? Facing the same problem each day and do not know how to overcome it? You are in the right place. I will work on finding you evidenced based solutions to help you through your challenging times in a non-judgmental and supportive environment. My focus is to empower children, adolescents, adults and families building on the strengths of each individual and family in the sessions. When you call ask to make an appointment with me.

I am a therapist because I am passionate to accompany individuals on their journey of self-understanding, exploration, and healing. 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. Currently, I provide services in District of Columbia and Virginia. Only virtual sessions at this time.

My first goal is to provide you with an open and trusting environment where you can feel safe to explore what has been troubling you. I know how hard it can be to contact a therapist for help. Whether it is a history of past trauma, depression, eating issues, or relationship struggles, I will work with you in a way that will help you better understand your thoughts and feelings so that you can move forward in your life. Using my years of experience treating depression, eating disorders, trauma and relationship issues, together we will tailor treatment goals to meet your individual needs.

What if everything we’ve been taught about life is a myth? What if the traditional formula for health and happiness doesn’t pertain to you? Are those rules about fitting into someone else’s version of what life should be? Do those rules inspire you, or do they keep your life - and your dreams - small? Solving problems in your head is an old-school and outdated strategy. Accessing the wisdom of the body is the new paradigm. At Next Generation Core, we will dig deeper to build a growth mindset.

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.

Welcome! Does life feels harder than you think it should? Are you feeling lost, stressed, or dissatisfied with your relationships? Do you feel a constant sense of not being "good enough" as you navigate multiple roles and responsibilities? Have you experienced a loss that is hard to overcome? We all go through struggles in our lives, and it can help to have someone in your corner. For over a decade I have had the privilege of supporting people as they navigate these types of challenges.

I believe that we all strive to be more authentic in our lives but sometimes get lost along the way. Together, you and I will explore your concerns at your pace and try to get more clarity. I work with individuals and how they view themselves, others, and their world. I am committed to working with you to foster greater insight and improve your agency in your life. I also collaborate with people in relationships to help them reconnect and communicate better. I'm also getting trained in sex therapy, as well as couples' therapy.

My experiences ranges from working with married couples, single adults, and adolescents. My particular training has focused on women who have experienced sexual trauma, with adjacent issues of depression, body image, self worth, and healthy relationships.

I use Cognitive Behavioral techniques which focus on changing how we think in a way that changes our emotions and behaviors. I work with clients from a strengths-based perspective on a wide range of issues, including: Depression, anxiety, trauma and other mental health disorders. I work with clients to address a broad range of concerns including: Grief and loss, relationship and family concerns. I offer sober companion services tailored to the specific needs of the client.

With over 20 years experience, my goal is to help uncover your true potential with a solution-focused approach. While we can't change difficult situation, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges. We will rapidly change long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that hold you back from a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I offer support and guidance through challenging situations and help move you towards a new direction in your life. I can help you with self-confidence and self-esteem, with relationship issues, life transitions, stress management, anger management, depression, mood disorders, anxiety.

Has anxiety hijacked your body or life? Are you tired of feeling anxious, edgy, overwhelmed, having anxiety attacks? Are fears keeping you stuck e.g., what if I fail? Is fear of being judged, rejected or not fitting in, holding you back? Is your inner critic, making your life miserable, feel like a bad person, & chopping down your self-esteem? Are you tired of blaming, doubting, or comparing yourself with others? Do your feel stuck in a toxic or co-dependent relationship? These alongside depression, low self-esteem, disconnection from emotions, & addictions/problematic use of alcohol/drugs are the primary areas I specialize in.

I have an interactive style, in which we work together to make sense of your experiences. Please contact me for additional information to help you make your decision.

Many of us desire to be close enough to our partner that we can risk sharing our deepest vulnerabilities or difficulties and trust that we will receive the acceptance and understanding we need in return. This is not always easy to create with a partner. You might be having the same fight over and over again, where intentions are misunderstood, or frustration gets the best of you and you push each other away or increase the conflict. Past experience tells you not to open up, you know how it will end, and things build up. Over time, you get protective, and your connection attempts come with an edge of defensiveness or resentment.
