Teletherapy for Arlington, VA

I use exploration of thoughts & feelings, mindfulness, meditation, and creativity to help you feel greater peace, be more aware of the present moment, pay less attention to unhelpful thoughts and live your life more fully. I believe that noticing what's "right" about you and paying attention to your inner wisdom greatly enhance the process of change and I focus on these areas in our time together. Everyone experiences difficulties at times and therapy can be an effective first step in finding freedom from suffering. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment and help you develop a nonjudgemental attitude toward yourself.

Hi there! I'm so happy you are here. Adulting is hard, full of uphill climbs and plot twists. As we take on the many challenges of daily life, moments of true joy can seem elusive. We may find ourselves feeling less content or fulfilled than we imagined. We begin to question past choices and doubt our decisions. We trudge along, hoping things will improve, without really enjoying the now. At all stages of life, we face challenges and transitions that may leave us feeling sad, anxious, exhausted, disillusioned, or isolated. And while this is normal, it can be hard to find a way through on your own. Fortunately, you don't have to.

I believe healing happens through relationships. When we can share all parts of ourselves with another and be truly seen. Witnessed. Understood. The messy, the dark, the confusing and the seemingly unlovable. All parts of you are welcome here. You’re invited to bring your whole self to each session where you will be seen, heard, and validated. From a place of openness and curiosity, I provide a warm and affirming space for you to heal and grow. You don’t have to do it alone, I would be honored and humbled to join you.

Change, no matter how necessary it may be, is never easy. I create an open and supportive environment which allows individuals to feel comfortable in sharing their personal stories.

I utilize an eclectic approach to therapy which allows me to tailor treatment to a person's needs in order to assess difficulties, set realistic goals, and to evaluate progress.

It can be difficult to find the "right" therapist. Many clients are nervous about what therapy entails and wonder if counseling will really help them. Although this is completely normal, it shouldn't get in the way of finding the support you deserve. I have found success helping clients navigate relational and professional difficulties. Sometimes these problems come from an identifiable stressor (such as trauma), and other times are more nebulous. I am committed to helping you better understand yourself and create long-lasting change.

Becoming your best self, managing natural life transitions, and staying on top of daily stressors takes work.

I understand many clients come to therapy for the first time full of anxiety as they are wary of talking to a stranger about personal issues. I am often told by clients that I make them feel comfortable and relaxed, and by the end of the first visit they often feel a sense of relief and hope. I work with clients who suffer from depression, anxiety, anger, substance abuse, and other issues that deter them from living life to the fullest. I can help you understand what's happening and offer assistance to cope with these feelings while working on ways to feel better.

If any of these feelings resonate with you, therapy can help you understand the underlying reasons for these emotions, find ways to cope, and shape your life in a way that brings you more joy. I am trained to assist you along this journey.

Therapy can be a helpful way to gain insights, explore, and challenge yourself in a space that is free of judgment.
