Grief Therapists in Lyon Village, Arlington, VA

As parents, you establish the teaching, training and expectations for your child in the first 7 years of their life. After that, you live out what you set up. Parenting is one of the most rewarding and difficult journeys in a person's life and at times, it may become overwhelming. I provide parenting consultations, as well as, counseling, support and education to new and expectant parents.

Therapy can empower you to cope with and improve a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, relationships, loss, low self-esteem, past trauma, identity issues, and insecurities. My gentle, strengths-based approach will help you recognize the best in yourself and tolerate difficult feelings, while promoting changes in your life. I have a nonjudgmental attitude and appreciate each individual's cultural, spiritual, and family backgrounds. My style is collaborative and respectful; together we will consider how experiences from the past intersect with the present and focus on what is most meaningful to you now.

I practice adult psychotherapy that appreciates and explores the richness and complexity of interactions between body, mind, soul, and spirit. My therapeutic work aims to help clients not only to get 'unstuck' from current symptoms and problems, but also to 'look forward' to their next stage of self-growth. Working with an integral psychology, I draw upon cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and humanistic-existential treatment modalities but add meditation, guided imagery, and dream work. In addition to seeing individuals and couples, I guide groups on 'care of the soul', loss and grief and spirituality.

Please Note: I Currently Have a Waiting List - Finding the right therapist can feel like an exhausting search. If you are depressed, anxious, troubled in your relationships, coping with grief, struggling with past or current trauma, feeling hopeless or angry, or just trying to understand yourself better, I'm here to help. I believe we all have the answers we need inside us, but sometimes it takes working with a neutral observer to find those answers. Together you and I will work toward increased understanding of and ways to cope with whatever problems you would like to discuss. Therapy isn't necessarily easy, but it can help.

I believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship and work with clients to create a safe space in which they can develop insight, expand coping skills, grieve losses, process traumas and explore their internal worlds. When it comes to working with children, as a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor, I am a strong believer in the power of play and expressive therapies as a means of accessing, expressing and processing emotions and conflict.

We are a group practice of licensed clinical psychologists and social workers. Collectively, we have experience covering the developmental lifespan from assessing and treating young children with behavioral and learning concerns to working with adolescents and (young and older) adult clients who have concerns related to sports, navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, significant life stressors, and life transitions. Our focus is to help individuals heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths. We work to achieve this by providing a safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing an individualized treatment plan.

'What worries you, masters you.' Do worries, stress and fears cause imbalance in your life? I work with individual clients to identify and reframe core beliefs and assumptions, and shift challenging patterns and behaviors. 'Love does not dominate; it cultivates.' Relationships require openness, curiosity, and trust. Couples counseling provides a nonjudgmental, distraction-free space to share and listen. Clients explore challenges, identify strengths, and mutually gain deeper understanding of themselves and the relationship. I am licensed to serve clients living in Maryland and Virginia.

I am experienced working on relationship conflicts, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, postpartum depression, cross-cultural stress and life transitions. I combine my psychodynamic background with other therapeutic approaches in a culturally sensitive framework that allows me to tailor each treatment according to the individual needs. I provide psychotherapy in English and Spanish. We are going to work together in a strong, safe and warm therapeutic relationship where you can feel free to talk about anything that concerns you. Because I am a seasoned therapist, I am not scared to explore any topic. I get to the point.

Hi, I specialize in working with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, work stressors, trauma, life changes, and challenges in relationships with loved ones or others.

I work with clients from all backgrounds, orientations, and identities.

I view therapy as a precious investment of your values and vulnerabilities, so I aim to honor that investment with my commitment to your well-being. Through a nonjudgmental, authentic and compassionate stance, I strive to create a safe and collaborative space for you to explore sensitive issues, experiment with new behaviors, and work towards what matters to you.

I believe that everyone can heal, grow, and thrive through therapy. I enjoy working with clients to help them process trauma, loss, and grief and to help those who are suffering from depression and anxiety. Everyone needs connection and relationships in their lives. I help my clients become aware of their own needs, emotions, and fears so that they are better able to connect with others. My own experience with grief after losing my husband in a car accident forced me to grow and learn about recovery from catastrophic loss. We all face unique challenges and tragedies in our lives. Therapy can help us to feel less alone in our pain.

I am currently accepting new clients. I provide individual therapy for late adolescents and adults with a wide range of backgrounds. I have specialized experience working with depression, anxiety, interpersonal issues, grief, expats, crisis and life transitions.

However, I also integrate a Client-Centered and Solution-Focused approach to help you recognize your existing strengths and feel empowered to use them. My hope is to foster an authentic therapeutic environment to meet the needs of my clients.

Pursuing therapy takes courage. The process can often feel empowering as well as anxiety-provoking. Once you have made the decision to seek help, it is important to find a therapist who is the right fit for you. As a therapist, my approach is open, supportive, and fosters curiosity rather than judgment. I seek to provide a safe environment and to collaborate with my clients in order to meet their needs. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I use an evidence-based, integrative therapy approach, drawing from my training in mindfulness/acceptance-based, cognitive-behavioral models and relational therapies.
