In Person Therapists in Bristow, VA

We all encounter challenges along our life journeys. Healing can often feel overwhelming, difficult, and lonely. I want you to know that you are not alone.

YOU can heal you! It’s not about what's wrong with you, it’s about what happened to you.

I aim to help create a space where you can begin to reconnect with yourself, empowering all parts of you to choose the path YOU want. I want to help you approach emotions with curiosity and gentleness. Viewing behavior, thoughts, and feelings as techniques adapted to help us survive, we begin to move towards a place of acceptance. I want you to live a life free from emotional suffering, feeling stable in all areas of life.

I believe that balance is essential to living life to the fullest. My goal is to help children, adolescents, and adults, to learn to navigate through difficult circumstances, instill hope and motivate them to go after their life goals. It is my genuine desire to enter into the broken life of a person and become a bridge through which they can walk to the other side of their brokenness with a new perspective. I am bilingual for people who prefer to converse in Spanish.
