As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) from Walden University, I am deeply passionate about delivering patient-centered care and committed to advocating for individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures. With over eight years of experience working with patients, families, and communities affected by mental illness, I have developed a profound understanding of the importance of compassionate and individualized care.
My professional journey began as a registered nurse, where I came to realize that mental illness is no respecter of person, age, color, or social status. This experience reinforced my belief that every individual facing mental health challenges deserves a patient-centered, personalized, and holistic approach to their care.
As a PMHNP, my goal is to serve as a source of strength and support through active listening, empathy, and compassion. I strive to provide an evidence-based approach tailored to each patient’s specific needs, ensuring that every individual feels heard, valued, and empowered on their path to wellness.

Your struggles do not define you, but they can refine you. -Reyna Aburto
I am a native to the Hampton Roads area specializing in children, teens and families. One of the most important aspects of therapy is the ability to truly listen and connect with clients. I offer a range of therapeutic options that will allow a deeper sense of self and connection with others.
I have been an LPC since 2017. I am married and have 2 children. I am family oriented and if not hanging out with my family cooking, you would also find me outdoors enjoying the sun, drawing, and reading. We are also dachshund fanatics having had them part of our family since 2003. Currently I have 2 long haired dachshunds.
I work with adults who are tired of feeling stuck, overthinking everything, shutting down, or wondering why they react the way they do. Whether you're carrying the weight of a specific traumatic experience or you've spent years feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected without fully understanding why, you're not alone.
One of my favorite moments in therapy is when a client pauses and says, "That finally makes sense." Those moments are powerful because understanding the why behind your reactions is often the first step toward changing them. My goal is to provide a space where you feel understood, supported, and never judged as we work together to help you heal and move forward.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over two decades of experience, I focus first on creating a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, safety, and respect. From there, we work collaboratively to explore the patterns, experiences, and challenges that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we develop an individualized plan that aligns with your unique needs, strengths, values, and goals. For over 20 years, I have had the privilege of supporting military service members, veterans, and their families through life's challenges and transitions. As a South Asian therapist, I also understand the unique complexities of cultural expectations, immigration experiences, family dynamics, and balancing multiple identities. I am passionate about helping individuals from all backgrounds navigate personal, relational, academic, and professional pressures while creating a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and fulfilling.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Reston
Searching for therapists in Reston starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, or work stress. As you compare Reston therapists, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or experience with couples therapy and marriage counseling.
Reston has a smaller local therapy market than nearby larger areas, so virtual therapy can help expand your options while keeping care connected to Virginia-licensed therapists. You may want an office near Reston Town Center, Wiehle-Reston East, or another part of Reston, or you may prefer the flexibility of virtual sessions from home. When narrowing your search, check whether a therapist is accepting new clients, has appointment times that fit your schedule, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also show how they describe their style, session structure, and experience with concerns like couples counseling in Reston, VA.
Therapy in Reston can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, review detailed profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
