Therapists for Teens in Arlington, VA

I help people when life is not going the way they expected. I work with individuals and groups as they navigate issues like anxiety, questions of identity and faith, relationships, conflict and depression. Since earning my Masters at Johns Hopkins University, I have been committed to providing quality services to all my clients. As a therapist, I am inspired by the techniques introduced through CBT, DBT, Existential and Client-Centered theorists.

Are you thriving professionally but struggling internally? Have you always been an exceptional student while also being overwhelmed by what that takes out of you? If you have it all together but still struggle with your mental health, I can help. Whether it's anxiety, depression, issues with relationships, or maybe leaning on that glass of wine a bit too much, therapy can help you overcome the issues you may be experiencing.

I enjoy working with individuals of all genders and ages, though I particularly enjoy working with older adolescents (14+) and young adults as they navigate the more transitional stages of life. I use a person-centered approach to therapy that allows my clients to be their own experts, and to use their own understanding of their experiences as a baseline for their healing. I also integrate relational therapy techniques, supporting clients in building their sense of self and autonomy, while also developing patience with and trust in their relationships with others.

Many adolescents and children today struggle in their day-to-day lives. They may struggle to deal with school stress, social anxiety or even to understand themselves. These mood regulation or core ego struggles impact personal relationships and the ability to operate successfully from a position of strength. External pressures are greater than ever on school aged children. Many do not yet have the capacity or coping mechanisms to deal with all that is coming their way. Group therapy or individual sessions are a great way to begin to build capacity and gain tools to navigate both the challenges of everyday life and adverse events.

Therapy can be a helpful way to gain insights, explore, and challenge yourself in a space that is free of judgment. I aim to provide a space where you can feel connected and supported, and where you can develop skills that will help you navigate challenges, thrive, and create meaningful change. I value learning about each client’s background and lived experience, and use a warm, active, and collaborative approach in therapy. If you are seeking couples therapy, our sessions can help you build concrete skills to improve communication, while also having the space to process the past and work towards the future.

As a therapist with many years of experience, I have worked with individuals struggling with a variety of issues. I employ a compassionate, nonjudgemental, strength based approach. I specialize in working with clients who are experiencing symptoms related to depression, anxiety, family conflict, self-esteem issues, divorce, and bereavement. My relationship with each client is a partnership designed to set goals that can be achieved which in turn will enhance the quality of your life.

I view therapy as a collaborative process where the client is the expert on themselves, and the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in creating change. It is important to have a safe, empowering, and supportive environment in order to examine hurtful relationship patterns and emotional difficulties, and in turn change negative self-evaluations to better respond to life's challenges. I am genuinely interested in and committed to helping my clients gain insight and express their needs in order to engage in more healthy relationships and live the life they want.

Problems are like snowflakes -no two are the same. Each person experiences life and the challenges that pop up in a unique way. As your therapist, I will help you explore, gain insight, search for meaning, and understand yourself.

Life can be difficult and at times leave wounds, but with some work we can be restored. I am an interactive therapist who feels privileged to walk alongside of my clients through various life situations. I see counseling as a relationship where you set aside time to evaluate where you are in life and where you want to be. As the counselor, I see my job as helping you to problem solve difficult areas of your life and facilitate self investigation into your past and current behaviors and thoughts with the end goal of bringing you greater fulfillment.

Are there areas of your life that, no matter what you seem to do feel “off,” disconnected, or unfulfilled? Despite all your best efforts, do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, overburdened, and craving control? Helping clients connect with their natural ability to heal, change, and grow is the heart of my work as a counselor. Together, we create a plan and develop the skills that allow you to take action towards a more meaningful life.

Are you in search of support? Are you struggling with symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, personal growth, life transitions, relationship conflict, multicultural issues, religion, spirituality, self-harm, suicidal ideation, or bipolar/mood disorders?

We all carry stories within ourselves, some that are life-giving, some that can hurt. Who we are is complex, made up of inner narratives and experiences that can be challenging to untangle. Believing that therapists are always guests in the client’s inner “home,” I approach therapy in a collaborative way, supporting clients as they create their own journey of healing.
