It takes incredible courage to pause and ask for support, and I am so glad you are here.

Hi, I'm Brooke, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that works with multiple areas of treatment including anxiety, cultural norms, PTSD, and maternal issues with a certification in Perinatal Mental Health. I view therapy as a sacred, gentle space where you can step out of the daily noise, set down the burdens that are draining your emotional energy, and reconnect with your true self.

My practice is guided by two simple beliefs:

1. People heal when they feel truly seen.

2. We are as unique on the inside as we are on the outside.

I work with adolescents and adults on anxiety, ADHD, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma, burnout, and more. I have a particular interest in high-achieving women navigating anxiety, ADHD, burnout, and perimenopause—a combination I see often and that frequently flies under the radar for years.

Medication may be part of the plan. So might sleep, hormones, relationships, labs, supplements, breath work, therapy, diet, pharmacogenomic testing, and more. You're not a container we pop a pill into every day, but a dynamic human being, and together we'll figure out what actually moves the needle for you.

Before I became a nurse practitioner, I taught violin for over 25 years. I never expected that to matter later, but it turns out I'd spent decades practicing exactly the skills I use now: listening closely, meeting someone where they actually are, and trusting that healing—like learning—looks different for everybody.

I earned my Master's degree from Frontier Nursing University and am licensed in Virginia and Maryland. Whether this is your first time seeking psychiatric care or you're looking for a different perspective, I'd love to connect and learn how I can help you feel like the person you've always known you could be.

Daniela Stapor

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


I'm a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish) who came to Virginia from Bolivia in 2003. Before entering private practice, I spent years working in Child Protective Services and maternal health — systems that gave me an honest, on-the-ground understanding of what families face when life gets complicated. That experience still shapes how I show up for clients today: I'm not here to give you textbook answers. I'm here to sit with the real thing. I specialize in trauma, PTSD, anxiety, BPD, maternal mental health, and the kind of grief that doesn't fit on a sympathy card. I'm especially attuned to the unique pressures of immigration, cultural identity, and what it means to build a life in a country that wasn't your starting point. If you've ever felt like no one really gets the full picture of who you are, that's exactly the kind of space I try to create.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Haymarket, VA


Hi, I’m Hayley Johnson, MSN, PMHNP-BC. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 16 years of experience in nursing, including medical, rehabilitation, home health, and behavioral health settings.

I work with adolescents and adults (ages 12+) experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and stress-related conditions. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who feel overwhelmed internally, struggle with focus or emotional regulation, or feel stuck despite trying to manage things on their own.

My background in both medical and psychiatric care allows me to take a comprehensive approach. I consider the full picture, including medical history, lifestyle factors, and when appropriate, possible contributors such as thyroid imbalance, vitamin deficiencies, or hormonal changes.

I am committed to providing thoughtful, structured, and evidence-based psychiatric medication management in a way that feels collaborative and respectful.
