Grief Therapists in Radnor-Fort Myer Heights, Arlington, VA

Hello and welcome to my profile! My name is Jane and I am a resident in counseling specializing in helping individuals navigate through grief, people-pleasing tendencies, and anxiety. Through a combination of empathy, compassion, and evidence-based therapy techniques, I help my clients find healing and peace in the midst of their struggles. Most importantly, working together to understand the root of their feelings and behaviors is a vital part of our work. Above all, I want to help my clients find ways to be kinder to themselves and find tools that work for them and their lifestyle.

My psychotherapy practice is dedicated to the health and well-being of individuals and families struggling with depression, anxiety, family of origin conflicts, and other mental health issues that can develop in the face of life stressors.

Challenges can include struggles within our families of origin (including relationships with a sibling, parent, or other family member), beginning college/new career, the birth of a child, marital conflict, relocation, illness, and loss and bereavement. How we respond is unique to each of us.

In my work with children, I incorporate play therapy techniques, as I am a firm believer that play is a child's language and toys are their words.
