Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a classic talk therapy technique that helps increase awareness of negative thinking in order to better handle challenging situations. In addition to helping those with mental health disorders (such as anxiety or depression), CBT is also helpful for anyone who is looking to learn how to manage stressful situations. Therapists that use CBT often have a structured program, which involves a set number of sessions. CBT is frequently paired with other treatments, such as medication, when necessary. Think this approach may be right for you? Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s CBT experts today.

My approach is rooted in person-centered therapy, which means I value your unique experiences and perspectives. I'll work collaboratively with you to develop strategies for coping with stress, anxiety, and other life difficulties. I'm available for virtual individual sessions for children, adolescents, adults, and couples in Virginia, with evening and weekend appointments to accommodate your schedule.
Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

Have you been dealing with anxiety lately? Or perhaps you've noticed you haven't felt like yourself and you're not sure how that feeling occurred in the first place? I've been there, dealing with anxiety or other unpleasant feelings is never a fun thing, and although some of these feelings are things we have to deal with throughout life, that doesn't mean these feelings should control us. Together, we can set goals to overcome/manage the obstacles that these issues bring.
My ideal clients are women in their 20-40's that care deeply & often give too much of themselves, have frequent anxiety, some burn out or depressed mood, difficulties with boundaries & work/life balance. I also enjoy helping veterinarians/animal care professionals, teachers, & college students with burnout, compassion fatigue, & chronic stress. All sessions are offered online & getting started is introvert friendly!

Whether due to a significant life change, past abuses, or the slow onslaught of boredom and burnout, most of my clients feel life is just not as good as it should be. Anxiety and depression are common, avoidance and procrastination persist despite best efforts, and folks just don't feel themselves. You may be in a toxic job, a bad relationship, or just feel overwhelmed. I can help you clarify feelings, resolve the hurt, and start building effective strategies towards a better life.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages who hold multiple minority identities and are seeking identity development, trauma therapy, or parent training. Many of my clients have jokingly described me as a "process consultant" and "professional poker". I can treat a range of mental health concerns but highly enjoy serving the local LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent community. I have experience writing letters in support of gender-affirming medical interventions (e.g., hormone treatment and surgery).
