Therapists Beginning With N in Virginia

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 35 years experience working with clients of all ages. I specialize in work with children, adolescents, and their families. Referral issues often include behavioral problems, autistic spectrum disorders and developmental issues, depression and anxiety, relationship difficulties, and separation and divorce. Adult clients often focus on relationship issues, struggles with depression and anxiety, separation and divorce, parenting concerns, and issues related to the family of origin. I was voted one of the DC areas top mental health professionals in Washingtonian Magazine, July 2009.

Living a healthy lifestyle is important for all of us. Sometimes unexpected life events, loss of a loved one, major life changes, trauma and COVID-19 can result in symptoms of anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship issues. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and I am a certified Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (TF-CBT). I treat most disorders including anxiety, depression, trauma and school anxiety. In therapy we collaboratively work on setting treatment goals, problem solving, coping skills and resolutions to manage symptoms and to improve functioning.

Currently Accepting New Clients. As a therapist, I understand that so much of mental health is shaped by the way someone views and experiences themself in relation to others. I offer an attitude of compassionate curiosity when working to understand these dynamics with clients. My approach to therapy is guided by psychodynamic, humanistic and trauma-informed perspectives. This means I take a person-oriented perspective, striving to appreciate the uniqueness and complexity of individuals. I work with adults suffering from a variety of mental health concerns, including those related to depression, anxiety, and trauma.

Are you a teenager or adult struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, a life transition or just feel stuck in dealing with life's challenges?

Or don't know how to get through the day without feeling worried, anxious, or just really sad? Your seeking a counselor is a great first step in taking control toward making positive changes.

Whether it's the weight of the present moment, past trauma, relationship problems, or wanting to let go and grow, I can help. I specialize in treating life's everyday problems, relationship issues, depression, unresolved childhood issues, intergenerational trauma & increasing self-awareness. My goal is to help you overcome barriers that are preventing you from establishing healthy boundaries, healthy relationships, personal growth and maintaining inner peace.

Making the initial contact with a therapist can be frightening and my first task is to assist you in feeling comfortable getting help for yourself. This can also bring a sense of relief.

My specialty is in treating acute and/or chronic depression and anxiety; adults with a history of abuse; and longstanding relationship and personality issues. I welcome into treatment older adolescents, adults of all ages, couples and partners, and families.

As an international adoptee myself, I understand some of the unique challenges an adoptive family might face. I'm passionate about working with children and families in foster care as well as families/children going through the adoption process.

I utilize trauma-informed framework, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to provide support and interventions that are tailored to meet individuals and family’s needs. I am passionate about social justice issues and advocating for oppressed populations.

Facing the stressors of daily life activities can be daunting in the best of circumstances. Anxiety, depression, and past traumatic experiences can make those every day challenges seem overwhelming and insurmountable. My job as your counselor is to help you make sense of your presenting situation, support you, and walk with you through the process of healing the pain and discovering your strengths.

I will do my best to help you address the conflicts in your life that may be causing your anxiety, depression or relationship stress.

I am a professor (University of Illinois, currently: Georgetown Medical School) and in private practice. As a teacher of tools, skills and strategies, my clients quickly learn new, more effective behaviors to reduce discomfort and be more successful. My approach is not so much placing a label on people but in offering ideas for what they can DO NOW and in the future to learn and implement new successful behaviors. I enjoy working with mood, anxiety, anger and behavioral problems for all the ages. My approach is pragmatic, behavioral and usually is short-term to achieve well-defined results.
