Therapists in Fairfax, VA
I call myself as a relationship therapist because I value a relationship and want to help people to improve their relationship. I have learned that when people struggle with relationship with their family or intimate part, they often experience various psychological symptoms and emotional distress, such as depression, anxiety, sadness, and helpless feelings.

Our early family of origin experiences lay the foundation for internal and relational patterns that continue to play out in later life. Many of our patterns include our best and most creative efforts to adapt to the tough stuff of life such as trauma, misattunement, and loss. Though these patterns are not set in stone, they are often automatic and hard to recognize, change, or understand. Together we can explore the ways in which our adaptations may have served you well in earlier times but are no longer proving to be helpful, effective, or authentic. I work with clients to create connection, healing, safety, and satisfaction.

Making a choice to reach out for support is a brave thing to do and something to be proud of. Life is full of unexpected challenges and sometimes reaching out to talk to someone when you’re going through a difficult time can be surprisingly helpful. My goal is to offer you a safe, non-judgmental space to explore and address any difficult emotions or thoughts that have been holding you back from experiencing healing, peace, and wellness. I'm experienced working with adolescents and adults providing individual/group/family therapy in a variety of settings, including residential, outpatient, detox/hospital, and criminal justice system.

I work with clients throughout the lifespan to promote a deeper understanding of self to heal past wounds and reduce problematic behaviors. Just as varied are my clients’ ages, so are their reasons for seeking services.

This includes working with children and adults with ADHD and Autism. I am a staunch believer in a non-pathologizing view of neurodiversity.

I provide counseling services for children, teens, and adults, focusing on life changes, conflict resolution, relationships, goal setting, family dynamics, depression, anxiety, and stress management.

I also incorporate case management and provide resources for a holistic approach to mental health care.

I have over 18 years combined experience working in community mental health, therapeutic day settings and private practice. My professional journey includes individual, crisis and group counseling. Clients have represented different cultural groups with mental health concerns. Through my clinical experience, I have developed a particular interest in working with people experiencing concerns related to cultural identity, trauma and sexual violence, anxiety, and mood disturbances.

I provide individual therapy to clientele affected by both short-term and longer-term difficulties. I enjoy working with children as well as with adults. With children, I work with presenting issues including anxiety, depression, anger management, behavioral challenges, stress management, coping skill development and refinement, and adjustment difficulties. I structure my sessions with youth and their families using a hybrid model, spending half of each session working with the parent(s) to refine a variety of parenting skills, and half of each session working directly with the child.

How we experience life matters. As a therapist, I believe everyone will face challenges, pain, and suffering at some point in life. It is human to feel pain and discouragement but is it also human to feel joy and excitement. In therapy I can’t promise your particular type of suffering will go away completely, but I can help you relate to your struggles and navigate them in a new way. I feel it is important to hold space for both joy and suffering as one strives to create a meaningful life. I aim to be a warm and gentle therapist, who will affirm your experiences, celebrate your successes, and challenge you outside your comfort zone.

Do you find yourself dreading the upcoming holidays? Worried about being around family, friends, or locations that bring up old hurts? Or is not being around those people just as hard? As a trauma therapist, I know that this can be the most difficult time of year for many people. The holiday season tends to make old wounds feel fresh. While there may be many reasons to put off trying to start your therapy journey during this busy time, having support during this season can make a huge impact on your own mental health.

Hi There! My name is Sara, and I am a teen and adult therapist who is passionate about providing culturally-responsive, trauma-informed care. I believe therapy should be holistic and should consider the individual in the context of their environment, their culture and beliefs, and their unique life experiences. In my practice, I use TF-CBT to help you both manage common symptoms like depression and anxiety, while if relevant, process and manage trauma. I do so by also incorporating somatic experiencing (SE) to help you process memories and emotions in a safe and embodied way.
