Hi, I’m Ethan
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Divine Mercy University. My training and experience focus on trauma, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy.
I believe people are naturally inclined to grow and thrive. Emotions are not just things to manage; they are strengths we can use to live well. I value each client’s story and creating a safe space to share it. I draw on attachment-based ideas, which say people heal best in secure, connected relationships—neither fully dependent nor completely independent, but interdependent.
I work with depression, anxiety, acute/chronic/complex trauma, and relationship distress. I treat individuals of all ages, as well as couples and families.
Credentials and training:
- Certified Clinical Traumatologist
- Level 1 and 2 Emotion-Focused Family Therapy
- Core skills in Emotion-Focused Couples Therapy
I believe counseling should be a place where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Many of the clients I work with are navigating important life transitions—work, school, marriage, family relationships, cultural identity, leadership stress, faith questions, or the pressures of professional life. I especially enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds, including professional women, TCK, MKs, PKs, Ministry families, African and Black and brown families, diaspora families, international professionals, and people who desire to integrate their faith into the counseling process.
My goal is to create a space that is both compassionate and practical. I want clients to feel safe bringing their whole story into the room—faith, culture, family dynamics, and personal struggles—while also leaving sessions with tools that help them grow and move forward. Whether we are working through relationship challenges, stress, anxiety, or life direction, I approach therapy as a partnership where we work together toward healing and clarity.
Hello! I know people have many different perspectives on therapy, and I’m glad you’re exploring your options. After doing this for many years now, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of how people progress in counseling and therapy. I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Virginia, and I specialize working with anxiety, depression, and ADHD.
I am a certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with several years of experience treating children, adolescents, and adults. I specialize in a wide range of treatment areas including depression, anxiety, autism, oppositional defiant disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. I have worked in several different settings and enjoy providing care through telehealth, which offers access to quality care when it is needed.
Most of us who live Virginia are feeling stressed by our hectic lives. Are you feeling stuck or alone, dissatisfied with your job, job loss, spouse deployment, family conflict, grief, sleep issues, road rage or exhausted? We tend to bottle up these feelings and they affect our emotions : anger, anxiety, depression, sadness frustration and substance abuse. I can help you gain tools needed to improve your coping skills, and improve your sleep, reduce feelings of stress, depression and anxiety.
Welcome!! I’m glad you’re here and ready to take this step toward your wellbeing.
As a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, and other mood or stress-related conditions. In addition to these focus areas, I also support clients dealing with trauma, grief, panic disorders, OCD, relationship and family issues, maternal mental health, and cultural or identity-related stressors.
Fluent in English, Hindi, and Punjabi, I value inclusivity and cultural understanding in my work. My goal is to make clients feel truly seen, heard, and supported as they take steps toward emotional well-being and resilience.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board Certified Art Therapist who sees adults and teens. I specialize in eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, self-harm and grief.
You may be someone who usually handles things well. You are responsible, capable, and used to figuring things out—but relationships can bring up reactions that are much harder to manage.
I work with adults who find themselves overthinking conversations, struggling with boundaries, questioning their decisions, repeating painful relationship patterns, or feeling stuck between what they want and what others expect from them.
With over 10 years of experience, I offer a warm, direct, and down-to-earth approach to therapy. I will listen carefully, but I will also ask questions, notice patterns, and help you understand what keeps getting in the way of the relationships and life you want.
