Therapists in Virginia

No one in life is perfect, including me! Being able to identify, relate and empathize with you as my patient is probably one of my greatest strengths. The special relationship formed between you and I, ensuring trust, confidence, and ability to truly work through the issues are of utmost importance. I believe everyone has something to work through in their lives. By providing evidence based therapy and unconditional positive regard, I have been very effective in my treatment history. I will always begin where you feel you need to go in therapy and allow you to guide me in your struggles, what you need most and what you desire to gain from therapy. This is a two way relationship and feedback throughout the therapeutic process will only enhance the therapeutic relationship towards your goals. I wish for you to find the inner peace and strength that I know everyone has within them and to be able to achieve and live the life that makes you feel truly alive! As for some information about myself, I am a retired Army social worker and love that I have had the ability to work with Soldiers throughout a multitude of issues to include PTSD, depression, anxiety, phase of life issues, grief and loss, marital counseling, substance abuse, domestic violence intervention, parenting skills, and adjustment issues. My background and strengths are in utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Prolonged Exposure and other desensitization therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, and Supportive Therapy.

My recent focus has been working with individual adults to reach recovery, symptom management and acceptance of anxiety, depression, and trauma.

I value a stable connection first and foremost, healing can more easily occur when we feel seen, heard, and understood. Our first session should be relatively relaxed, we go over therapy basics and mandated reporting. We may go over what your history of therapy has been if you have had one. We will discuss what brings you here, a bit of my theory and orientation, and go with the flow of conversation. Getting to know one another takes time, so there is no rush on anything specific. You do not have to answer anything I ask as well, as it's about getting to know one another and developing a trusting and safe atmosphere. I look forward to meeting you. We will discuss your diagnosis and review your basic therapy goals. Over time your goals may change, my goal is to stay in step with what your goals are and help you break them down into smaller, achievable goals. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming life's challenges.
