Autism Therapists in Fairfax, VA

Therapy is a journey that includes the commitment of wanting to better yourself. The first step of therapy may be challenging, but that does not mean you have to do it alone. You belong and you are accepted here. My counseling style includes being empathetic, showing compassion, being realistic, and person centered. I am an empathetic coach, an active listener, and an advocate for self-awareness. I have over 15 years of experience in mental health. I currently specialize in treatment for adults, and adolescents ages 13-17 years old. I work with clients who identify with emotional, behavioral, and cognitive health issues.

Reaching out for help takes so much courage! You or your child may be experiencing a crisis, difficult life transition, or just haven't been feeling like yourself lately. Whether it is depression, anxiety, addiction or behavioral problems, it can often feel exhausting and hopeless. However, I believe wholeheartedly that change is always possible, no matter how hard life gets. I create a warm, compassionate environment in which you feel heard and respected. You are the expert on your life, not me. Together we can develop insight and practical solutions that move you closer to the great life you deserve!

I grew up with curiosity and befuddlement in equal measures. Only in college did I begin to trust in my ability to think and pursue a path that led to graduate work and training as an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker). Those training experiences included service as a hospital chaplain and the personal oceans of grief and loss. As an intern at a Veterans Administration's behavioral health clinic, and how war and chronic mental illness crossed paths daily to challenge patients, already isolated, even in their own families.

Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I live in Virginia Beach, Va and am licensed in Virginia, Utah, and Nevada. I received my MSW at The Catholic University of America and have been practicing therapy for 6 years. I feel that therapy is a gift you give yourself. I work solely online as a telehealth therapist. I enjoy meeting you where you are at and helping you get through the rough spots, whether it's finding your voice, identifying the obstacle and need for change, or just understanding from a different perspective. I work mainly with clients who have experience with anxiety, depression, and trauma in their life.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor in the growth and development of my clients. Within the therapeutic relationship, my clients can expect to be heard, supported, and encouraged as they work through their struggles to help them move forward. I have experience with all ages – children, adolescents, and adults. As a counselor, I provide services for individual, groups, and families.

My ideal client are the ones who tried therapy in the past, felt like it didn't match or work as well as they had wanted and are hesitant to try again but hold out hope that they can have the life they always wanted. One of the greatest feelings I have as a therapist is watching a client is seeing a client go from lack of confidence and hope to to a place of confidence, peace and happiness.
