In Person Therapists in Lakeside, VA
“I love my job,” you whisper to yourself, à la Emily Blunt in The Devil Wears Prada. You’re half joking, half desperately trying to convince yourself it’s true. And work is just the start. Your whole life feels cluttered and confusing. You want someone to notice you’re struggling - but then you would have to admit that you’re struggling. You'd prefer people to know the poised, polished, professional you, not the messy version of you that stress watches Parks and Rec until 2:00 am. So you grit your teeth and make another to-do list you that deep down you know you'll never finish.

I believe that recovery is possible for everyone and healing occurs best in the context of an authentic, trusting relationship. Many of my clients come to me after other approaches have not worked for them. We work not only to manage distressing symptoms, but also to break enduring patterns related to identity, relationships, emotional expression, and safety that often stem from earlier experiences where we felt unsafe, out of control, or invalidated. In therapy we work to make meaning out of past experiences, break those patterns, learn more about ourselves, and move towards the life we want.
