I also use insight therapy to release the hold of old perceptions and feelings which are no longer helpful and to consciously choose the life you want now.

Persons seek therapy when they experience stress, conflict, or loss that cause unhappiness and reduce effectiveness. They are affected negatively by pressure and problems at work, family, and relationships. Individuals come into therapy with their own particular needs shaped by disappointments and failures in some aspect of living in their world. With my guidance, together we create a treatment program which addresses their specific concerns. My approach is interpersonal, supportive and direct. I focus on helping my clients obtain relief from emotional distress and develop strength and awareness to deal successfully with events that confront them day to day.

We work together to pull from your strengths, re-introduce existing coping strategies and learn many new ones. My focus is for you to gain tools quickly and learn to maintain them. Clients will see improvements in their mood, outlook, energy, physical health, emotional health and in relationships. I take care of and care for my clients!

In each of us there is a drive to move towards wholeness. Sometimes we require assistance to unblock that which slows our movement towards balance. Engaging in therapy is a sign of resilience in the face of personal struggles. Courage is walking through your fears to make a difference. By engaging in a strong and empathetic relationship, we will work to uncover the motivations and thoughts that are preventing you from living your life to the fullest. I educate my clients to utilize innovative strategies that capture the extraordinary power that comes from within to facilitate the changes you seek.

In my therapeutic approach, we will explore your experience of mind-body (psychosomatic) dysregulation that caused the physical symptoms such as gastrointestinal problems (e.g., Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional nausea, functional abdominal pain, chronic pain, trauma-related weight gain, sleep-wake cycle dysregulation, etc. Metaphorically speaking, our therapeutic relationship will function as a container that holds complex emotions so we can explore, tolerate, and process them without judgment. As a result, your body will be relieved from its containing function, and the physical symptoms will diminish.

Working with individuals and couples going through life changes, including medical issues, is my specialty. I have dedicated my career helping people make their relationships, marriage, healthier and happier learning about themselves and communicating needs and goals more effectively. Couples also come to me when they have already made a decision to separate and want to do it in healthy ways. I am part of the Collaborative Divorce Community in Northern Virginia where I team up with attorneys and financial experts to help people find a more amicable way to divorce with more mental health support for the whole family.

I will assist you in a caring and professional manner to find realistic answers and solutions that make sense to you in your life, and allow you to more effectively manage each day. I bring over 20 years of experience working effectively with adults, children, families, and couples with a wide range of problems, from mild to severe in nature. My therapeutic approach is strength-based and practical. I draw from a number of different treatment approaches (including but not limited to: CBT, Humanistic, Family Systems, DBT) to most effectively address your presenting issues, reduce symptoms, and meet your goals in seeking treatment.

I focus on providing a safe, secure non-judgmental space for healing and wholeness. I can help you move forward through anxiety, sadness, "stuck" relationships, or past issues that keep getting in the way. Maybe you're highly successful in most areas or a perfectionist, yet internally you often feel alone and struggle to keep it all together. Perhaps you have no one you trust who is truly there for you. My goal is helping you heal and grow so you can have the relationships and life you were made for.

It only takes one person to change your life: YOU! The heart of therapy is experiencing the possibility of change. I believe that if you can change your mind and your perception, you can change your life. I have dedicated the last 25 years of my life to helping others reach their full potential. I'd love to work with you and to help you realize your best life yet. The process of healing can be painful, but guided by skilled professionals who possess compassion and specific training, you will have the opportunity to access strategies that will both optimize your mind, and create body and soul balance.
