Male Therapists in Alexandria, VA

Are you frustrated with how much you worry? Is your sadness causing you to lose motivation? Are you noticing dissatisfaction in your relationship? Anxiety, sadness and relationship problems often trigger one another. Anxiety and depression are exhausting. They drain you of your energy and sap you of joy. In addition, relationship problems can present anxiety and depression in ways you may have never experienced. You may begin to feel frustrated, irritable or even hopeless. Doing the most menial task may feel like a burden. You begin to feel like a burden.

With a specialty in PTSD and other trauma related issues, I have effectively treated First Responders, Military and their families. Are you feeling stuck in another time and place? Do past events influence your current life in a way that they shouldn't? Do you or someone you care about suffer from thoughts and physical symptoms which can weigh you down, be overwhelming and impede your life from being the best it can be right now? I work with a broad range of techniques to bring you into the present and rise above issues that may be haunting you.

In private practice settings, I've assisted adolescents, adults, and older adults struggling with trauma, anxiety and relationship issues, attention problems, learning disorders, and depression. I also worked for 9 years at Naval Health Clinic Quantico helping service members struggling with PTSD and combat trauma, depression, substance use issues, relationship problems, and a variety of anxiety disorders. I find that most people are doing their best to cope with their unique challenges in life, but sometimes reach a point where what they are trying is no longer working and could benefit from some professional guidance.

I enjoy working with people of diverse backgrounds, cultures and orientations. The clients I have served include troubled adolescents, undergraduate and graduate students, military personnel, working adults, single mothers, and people suffering from severe and persistent mental illness. My areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, relationship problems, development of self-esteem, trauma/PTSD, insomnia, fertility concerns, childhood abuse, ADHD, eating disorders, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. I also have experience coaching individuals through career changes as well as other life transitions.

Do you feel like you need to change something in your life but are hesitant to ask for help? Taking that step can be scary, but the benefits of doing so can bring long-term happiness. As someone who has also faced emotional challenges, I know how difficult it can be. By working together, we can identify the obstacles you're facing and develop strategies to help you take control of your life and achieve your goals. Through therapy, you can gain a better understanding of yourself, boost your self-esteem, and ultimately live a more fulfilling life.

Making changes in your life can be exciting, scary or often a mixture of both. You want to have the right support when you are experiencing a life transition such as gender transition; opening, escalating, or de-escalating a relationship; accepting and affirming a diagnosis of neurodivergence; or navigating the diagnosis or progression of a disability or chronic illness in yourself or a loved one. If you are seeking an experienced and passionate mental health professional to explore the emotional impact of LGBTQIA+ identity, polyamory, or disability, I would like to talk to you more about how I can help.

The fact is, our world is changing rapidly. And what you have noticed is that you are changing too. Your mind, body, and spirit are transforming right before your very eyes. You may feel sad, lonely, or even anxious. You have lost your zeal for life. A loss of sleep, appetite, and interest in or enjoyment of your daily activities. Although this is not what you are nor who you strive to be, the question remains, where do I go to get help? You desire to reclaim your life, believe once again, emerge from that dark place, and heal your soul. Well, look no further, I'm here to walk with you and help you navigate this journey called life.

In therapy, my goal is to help you tap into the resources that already exist within you. I believe you possess wisdom, resilience, sound judgment, compassion for yourself and others, and other strengths that can be refined or rediscovered through the process of therapy. I also believe that authentic human connection is the primary conduit of healing in therapy, so I strive to make our work relational - not just symptom focused. While I feel equipped to meet the needs of most people who seek my help, I find that I’m most energized when I’m working with someone who is open-minded, motivated, and invested in the therapy process.

I am a graduate counseling intern with a passion for helping individuals navigate the complexities of life. I take an eclectic and person-centered approach, emphasizing the unique needs and experiences of each individual. Throughout my academic journey and practical experiences as an intern, I have developed an understanding of the challenges associated with mental health. I recognize that these issues can manifest in various ways and impact every aspect of a person's life. My commitment is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings openly.
