Rational Emotive Behavior (REBT) Therapists in 22046

Traumatic experiences can and will affect us in various ways. Loneliness, negativity, abandonment, rejection, and our reactions can severely impact our mental health. Ironically, it is often easier to push away people than deal with difficult feelings. Unfortunately, we choose this path by abusing substances, alcohol, and other types of addictions. When we run away from our feelings and challenges, we are not allowing ourselves to heal and recover. Essentially, we are hurting ourselves and others. Together we can work through these difficult experiences and navigate around the painful emotions to feel better and find joy again.

During difficult times, the word “unravel” resonates with most of us. As human beings, at some point, we are bound to experience life stressors, trauma events, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, parenting struggles etc. I am aware there is no single therapeutic approach, and a range of flexibility and modalities is key to guide and assist in finding resolution and balance. My great passion is bringing healing to the people who have been through traumatic/stressful experiences and struggling to anchor, reflect and or reset. I believe in meeting clients where they are and in creating a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

Anxiety and depression can have an impact on our day-to-day functioning and enjoyment of life. Relationships and life changes can sometimes be hard for us to deal with. Grieving a loss can be difficult. Even the most fulfilling jobs can sometimes be hard to handle. Maybe you’re just simply feeling a bit stuck in life. Whatever may be troubling you, I can help. Counseling is a collaborative process. Please contact me and we can discuss how we might work together to tackle anything that you feel is keeping you from living the life you want!

Are you looking for someone to listen to you when it feels like no one else will? Therapy is a wonderful and safe place to discuss life’s problems, seek closure, and work through diagnoses, no matter what they may be. I hold the notion that all people are inherently good and should be given unconditional positive regard in a therapy setting. Through a collaborative relationship built on mutual trust and respect, I can help you on your journey to recovering and rebuilding. My areas of specialty are Borderline Personality Disorder, manipulative relationships, and Anxiety related disorders.

You’re allowed to feel enough just as you are. My passion lies with those who feel misunderstood, who mask to fit in, or who feel "normal" is a distant concept. It can feel exhausting navigating a world that feels unnatural, unsafe, uncontrollable, or judgmental, like others don't connect with who you are. It falsifies reality and reinforces irrational, intrusive, uncontrollable, and disruptive beliefs; you convince yourself you are the problem… but you aren’t. Whether an adolescent, neurodivergent, challenged by a life transition, socially awkward/isolated, or struggling to process a big or little trauma, you matter.
