Therapy Services

---

People seek individual therapy for a variety of reasons. Some are seeking help and assistance with a specific struggle. Some are doing well in general, but they would like to grow in certain areas of their lives. Some need to process a painful event or loss. And some need to address more chronic concerns stemming from  challenging or traumatic upbringings. Successful treatment is achieved by creating a treatment plan that is unique to your needs. I do not use a "one size fits all approach." Treatment starts with a thorough assessment and collaborative goal-setting process and proceeds with an individualized plan that is flexible to changing circumstances and needs. 

We’ve all been there: arguing in circles, reacting in the same old ways, and feeling hurt and unsatisfied over and over again. Disconnection awakens our deepest fears around needing, but not receiving, love and intimacy. As a result, we all move into unconscious self-protective behaviors that are usually misinterpreted by those around us. I call this the Threat-Response Cycle, and every couple has one.  Often, you need someone outside of yourself to help you see your blind spots and make sustainable changes. I teach you how to gain awareness, slow down this frustrating cycle, and step out of it to instead create an authentic, lasting connection.

Research is showing that teletherapy - therapy generally conducted via videoconferencing technology - is as effective as in-person treatment for a variety of concerns. Teletherapy can make treatment more accessible, convenient, and practical, especially for people with busy lives, careers, and families. Online sessions can save you the time and hassle of driving to an office and makes services more accessible for people in rural areas. COVID-19 accelerated the use of teletherapy across the nation, and some clients may prefer it to in-person sessions. I offer secure, HIPPA-compliant teletherapy services to individuals and couples across the state of Virginia.
