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.

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.

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
