Therapists in Reston, VA

I firmly believe that everyone can benefit from therapy—whether our problems feel big or small, we all have things we can work on. I would love to see everyone with a primary care physician AND a therapist someday! I like to start out therapy by strengthening coping skills and stress management and then lead into identifying harmful thinking patterns and help you adopt healthier ways of thinking. From there, if need be, I can help you process past trauma, increase your self-esteem, strengthen your relationships, and improve anger management, self-care, mindfulness, and much more (this is just the tip of the iceberg)!
