Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Tysons, VA


Because we are a Relational & Experiential center. Relational psychotherapy is an integrative form of therapy, born from a combination of several therapeutic theories and practices. In the 1980s a shift occurred in the practice of therapy, in that it moved away from simply exploring inner experiences (intrasubjective) and toward greater understanding of the impact of relationships on individual experiences (intersubjective). Since then, relational psychotherapy has expanded, and grown to become a widely used theoretical base.

The focus is on a person’s relationships/environment and the impact they can have on his/hers emotional and mental wellness (combination of nature and nurture). That is why we offer help beyond talk therapy and behavioral modalities. We are trained in brain changing therapeutic approaches based on the latest neuroscience information to rewire your brain and achieve long term healing and benefits when traditional therapy isn’t enough: EMDR, IFS, Adult Attachment Therapy, Imago, Somatic Intervention, Intuitive Eating...

I am a Board-Certified Psychiatrist and I have been treating patients across the lifespan for over 15 years. Once my caseload became full in 2022, I founded a small practice (Tandem Telehealth) where I now oversee a handful of talented psychiatric nurse practitioners and talk therapists. The team approach allows us to provide faster access to care for new patients and a higher level of support than you would likely receive from individuals working independently.

Therapist

Virtual • Virginia


My approach is direct, compassionate, culturally aware, and deeply grounded in trauma-informed care. I help clients understand not just what they are feeling, but why their mind and body respond the way they do. A lot of people come to therapy feeling exhausted from surviving, overthinking, masking, people pleasing, or functioning on autopilot. Together, we work on building emotional safety, nervous system regulation, healthier relationships, self-awareness, and practical tools that actually work in real life.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, stress management, emotional regulation, relationship dynamics, self-esteem, life transitions, and helping high-capacity individuals who are successful externally but overwhelmed internally. My work integrates evidence-based practices, somatic awareness, attachment-focused interventions, and practical strategies that support both emotional wellness and everyday functioning.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Winchester

Searching for therapists in Winchester starts with knowing what kind of support you want from care. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for specialties, approaches, and experience that match your needs. A profile that mentions cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or experience with a specific concern can help you decide who may be a strong fit.

In a smaller city like Winchester, local therapist availability may vary by schedule, specialty, and whether you prefer in-person care. Virtual therapy can expand your options across Virginia while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. Along with specialty, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios before booking can also show how they structure sessions, communicate, and describe their approach to care.

Therapy in Winchester can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated price before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, take your plan, and offer available appointments. You can browse profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
