Therapists in Fairfax City County, VA

Does life feel overwhelming and stressful? The good news is that therapy can help you better understand your unique life challenges as well as develop new, empowering perspectives and mindsets. I use findings from exciting research in neuroscience and mindfulness to help us customize powerful tools to help you feel better. I am passionate about working with my clients to help them develop life skills such as mindfulness, self-calming strategies, accurate beliefs about themselves and others and the courage to risk new behaviors. If you are ready to make a change, I would love to hear from you.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I specialize in psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families. People often come to me because, despite their efforts to change, they end up in the same cycles...cycles of anxiety, depression, disordered eating, relationship struggles, isolation, procrastination, workaholism...the list goes on and on. People often wonder "why can't I just change?" These cycles of behavior are driven by our life experiences and sense of ourself and others. Together, we will explore these ideas so that you can begin to create newer positive cycles of peace, calm, joy, contentment, intimacy, health, and fulfillment.

As your therapist, I'm here to provide a warm and supportive space where you can talk freely without being judged. I won't just sit quietly – instead, I'll ask questions, offer suggestions, and reflect on what you share. Together, we'll work on dealing with the things that might be bothering you in your everyday life, whether that be challenges with relationships, work, or family. Our goal is to help you feel better, be true to who you are, and improve your relationships. And along the way, you'll get valuable skills to reduce stress and move your life forward.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with extensive experience treating addictions, anxiety, obsessive thinking, depression, communication/ relationship issues, and life phase struggles. As a counselor, I am privileged to be able to share in my clients' journeys and to help them overcome difficulties. 20 years of practice have shown me that when faced with overwhelming struggles we must first acknowledge their existence, and only then can we reach for the help necessary to find achievable solutions. In the safety of a grounded, knowledgeable, and insight-oriented counseling experience I believe this is possible.

Whether you are an adult, adolescent, or a child, life can be full of surprises and changes. Sometimes these surprises and changes are welcomed and embraced, while other times, they can be unexpected and difficult to navigate. Therapy can be a helpful avenue to unpack the curiosity, emotions, and uncertainty associated with these transitions.

I support a broad range of individuals, such as those with self regulation and impulse control, that impact their functioning and stability. I want to help you or your loved one in stabilization of mood, thinking, and behavior to live more freely without the burdens of past experiences. I believe strongly in one's motivation to change, and I will support you while you build belief in yourself and your goals. I can help you work through barriers that may inhibit your success or hold you back from taking the steps forward in your life. While the treatment journey can be a challenging one, I can help guide your path to stability.

I specialize in working with adults and young adults. I use short and long-term therapeutic approaches. If you are a person who is working through trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, borderline personality disorder, compulsions, or destructive relationship patterns; if you want to improve your well-being; whether this is a uniquely challenging time; or you are simply ready to take your life in a new direction, I am eager to help you achieve your goals.

I provide a safe, non-judgmental environment where we focus on healing as we address issues with: Family, relationships, unresolved emotional issues, self-doubt and low self-esteem, guilt and shame, emotional intimacy and trust, anxiety and depression, parenting, substance use and addiction, processing traumatic or painful experiences that may have occurred during childhood, and fertility and pregnancy issues. I work with individuals, couples, and families to help them value, trust, and connect more deeply with themselves and their loved ones.

Do you want to experience greater freedom from anxiety, depression, or negative thoughts? Are you feeling frustrated, misunderstood, or unappreciated in your close relationships? Have you tried therapy before but did not get the results you were hoping for? With understanding and compassion for yourself, you can break free of negative thoughts, self-limiting beliefs, and harmful habits. You can learn communication methods to bring you closer to others, without sacrificing yourself. Together we will discover a deeper source of strength that is uniquely yours. I can help you tap this well to find joy, contentment, and harmonious relationships.

Deciding upon therapy for yourself, as an individual, a family member or significant other in a couple is daunting, to say the least. Confronting difficulties in relation to one's past, present or future requires courage, which is on its own, an initial therapeutic step in the right direction. My philosophy is that all beings are intrinsically, whole and worthy. Therefore, my therapeutic mission is to help individuals, couples and families connect to their innate wholeness. My approach is an integration of complementary models; including Attachment theory, DBT, Mindfulness and CBT.

The path of life can be full of twists and turns and it's easy to become overwhelmed, especially in times of change and transition. Do you find yourself at a crossroads, not knowing where to turn? I believe there is hope, even in the most difficult of circumstances. I enjoy helping others regain their sense of hope by developing insight and tapping into their strengths and abilities. In doing so, healthier, more successful ways of coping with life's challenges can begin to emerge.

I'm all about equipping folks with the right tools to help them level up fast and in a good way. I get it—your time and money matter, so I aim to keep things organized and focused on goals. Over the years, I've worked with all sorts of people dealing with their own unique situations. My specialties? Well, I've got a knack for helping out healthcare pros, therapists, first responders, teachers, folks in high-stress gigs, couples, those facing professional challenges, and anyone going through major life shifts.
