Women's Issues Therapists in 23230

If you have felt the impact of life transitions including anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship and self-esteem issues, therapy can be a beautiful step towards a more fulfilling life. Therapy provides an opportunity to process and explore, in a judgement free space, in order to build upon strengths and identify areas ready for growth and change. As a therapist working in Virginia for well over a decade, I have provided services to both adolescents and adults, assisting with stressors associated with mental health, family and relationship dynamics, communication struggles, life stage changes, and women's issues.

I understand that looking for, and finding, a therapist that you connect with, can feel overwhelming. Trying to manage the things that worry or challenge you can be pushed aside for countless reasons, yet when issues aren't addressed, they can affect every part of your life. Regardless of what led you to seek counseling, I will offer you support, practical feedback, and a little bit of humor, to help you resolve the current or long-standing concerns in your life. Whether you are struggling with a situation, relationship, or change in your life, we will navigate the path of growth and wellness together.

You may be struggling to identify how you are feeling or experiencing invalidation in your emotions. Maybe you’re feeling stuck in a relationship, with an upcoming decision, or with where you are in life. You might be feeling grief, anxiety, or deep sadness. I work with teens and adults to navigate all types of emotions and process how to move forward with them. Having a judgement free zone to fully process your emotions, your options in an upcoming decision, or to navigate difficult relationships can bring so much clarity!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has specialized in working with children, adolescents, adults, and families for over 9 years. My background and experiences include work in the public school systems, child welfare systems (child protective services, adoptions, and foster care), private counseling center for adolescents and families, therapeutic recreational services, intensive in-home counseling, and an emergency diagnostic residential facility. I have experience working with individuals and families who have experienced trauma, grief & loss, divorce, single parenting, job loss, family conflict, stress, domestic violence, substance abuse, and crisis situations. If you are currently in crisis call 911.

I love working with adult clients in areas of identity, relationships, stress/anxiety, family of origin issues, and substance use. I also help traditional and non-traditional couples address issues of communication while fostering mutual love, care, trust, and respect and restoring harmony in relationships. I take a strengths-based, proactive approach to treatment to facilitate healing while building lifelong skills and a strong sense of self-worth.

What all of my clients have in common is a desire to be self-reflective (even though this may be scary), to learn more about themselves at a deeper (unconscious) level, and to grow in ways that allow them to have the life and relationships for which their hearts yearn. Psychotherapy is a process of learning to listen to, care for and heal the pained parts of ourselves that burden our mind, body, heart and spirit. Including the body in this process is essential, as it carries our pain. This is not always easy, but is certainly self-empowering and life-changing.

Now Accepting Weekend Appointments! Heartbreaks can feel unbearable. Wanting to be close with someone, but it doesn’t seem to work can feel devastating. You put forth every effort to love them, only to be met with disappointment as you watch them slowly walk away and abandon you. The worst part isn’t that they’ve broken your heart. It’s the feeling that you’ve broken your own heart… again. Do you feel anxious, depressed, stuck or lonely? Do you struggle with trusting people and/or concerned about their motives? Maybe you've never felt like you belong.

And if we don't have the right tools to handle big stressors or major life events, it can be even more difficult to deal with what comes our way. Whatever your struggle is, I'm here to help.
