Bipolar Disorder Therapists in Fairfax County, VA

Hello, I am an LPC who is passionate about supporting all my clients through current stressors until growth and healing occurs. I listen, process the desire, and utilize the best theoretical approach in efforts to gain measurable success. The desire to help through listening and establishing reasonable goals. What drives me are the passionate individuals who are self-aware regarding change.

So many of us present a high-functioning face to the world, but our inner lives tell a different story. Depression, anxiety, and other issues are natural byproducts of the stressful lives we lead. I work with adults, teens (16 and older), couples, and families, ranging from adolescents facing developmental struggles to stay-at-home parents and Beltway professionals. As a native Northern Virginian, I can relate to the challenges of living in this frenetic environment. My previous military and consulting experience give me an understanding of issues that busy professionals deal with like self-care and work-life balance.

I first want to say congratulations on taking a big step towards your mental health and putting what you need to heal first. In a safe and supportive atmosphere I strive to listen to the needs of each of my clients. I use a variety of methods and techniques to meet the needs of each client. My purpose is to help clients achieve success in their lives by providing tools for coping with their current situations. My goal is to provide you with the best mental health care possible in a courteous and efficient manner. I understand your need for confidentiality, trust and respect.

My practice is designed to help children, adolescents, and adults with healthy development, personal confidence, and more satisfying relationships. I offer individual and group therapy to help kids with labeling and identifying feelings, developing and maintaining friendships, reading social cues, and increasing self-esteem. In working with adults, I create a supportive environment to explore a better life balance, manage stress, and improve close relationships. I value comprehensive treatment, and work with schools and other professionals to assure positive treatment outcomes.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I specialize in psychotherapy for individuals, couples, and families. People often come to me because, despite their efforts to change, they end up in the same cycles...cycles of anxiety, depression, disordered eating, relationship struggles, isolation, procrastination, workaholism...the list goes on and on. People often wonder "why can't I just change?" These cycles of behavior are driven by our life experiences and sense of ourself and others. Together, we will explore these ideas so that you can begin to create newer positive cycles of peace, calm, joy, contentment, intimacy, health, and fulfillment.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified EMDR Therapist & Consultant, and Registered Play Therapist (RPT) with over 25 years experience working with youth & adults in a wide variety of settings across the treatment continuum.

Glad you're here! I specialize in helping adults work through anxiety, depression, and OCD that is so often intertwined with low self-esteem, people pleasing, hypersensitivity and perfectionism. Maybe you're finding yourself in a storm of your emotions and thoughts. Or it's the opposite - you've been able to power through life by setting emotions aside and cracks are starting to show, or a life transition is throwing you off. Using a warm, affirming, and structured approach, I will guide you through making sense of the storm while looking at the sky view, including your past experiences and the ways you have coped.

I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC) that specializes in helping patients overcome issues related to anxiety, depression, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), substance use disorders, family conflict and grief.

Whether working with adolescents, school-age children, or adults, I look forward to working with you and helping you and/or a loved one emerge from any life obstacles or issues.
