Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 8.5 mi away • Reston, VA


Whether we are healing old wounds, addressing current struggles, or pursuing increased life satisfaction, therapy can be a useful tool in reaching our goals. Research has shown the best predictor of positive outcomes is the quality of the relationship between the client and therapist. I strive to develop genuine, honest, and collaborative relationships with each of my clients. Whatever the issue, I believe everyone is capable of healing and growth, and I endeavor to help my clients achieve those outcomes.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 9.4 mi away • Fairfax, VA


My favorite moments in therapy are when I get to witness someone connect all the dots - and that doesn't always happen in session! I work with people who are curious about themselves, their relationships, and their communities. As an art therapist, I like looking for different ways of solving old problems, finding beauty in the unexpected, and creating an emotional language that resonates with you.
