Therapy for Women in Reston Virginia
Treatment that is holistic, relatable, & accessible
Life doesn’t look or feel the way you wish it did.
Meeting with a therapist who understands can help. I provide trauma and life transition therapy using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization reprocessing), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy). My clients walk away from therapy feeling more optimistic about the future and less distressed about trauma from their past. Learn the tools you need to experience peace, healing, and connection with yourself and others in a new way.

Childhood trauma can leave deep emotional scars that impact various aspects of your life, including relationships, self-esteem, and overall well-being. In therapy, you are provided with a compassionate and non-judgmental space to explore and process the past. Together we can address these underlying issues, so that healing is attainable. Through skills training in areas such as emotion regulation, stress management, and boundary-setting, therapy provides a space to learn practical tools to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and self-assurance.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapeutic approach that helps individuals process traumatic memories and experiences. During EMDR sessions, individuals recall distressing memories while simultaneously engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as following a ball across the screen with their eyes or tapping. This process facilitates the brain's natural ability to reprocess traumatic memories, leading to a reduction in emotional distress and symptoms associated with trauma.

Anxiety can lead to emotional and physical symptoms, including persistent worry, fear, restlessness, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. Therapy provides opportunities for you to practice relaxation techniques, mindfulness exercises, and stress management strategies, empowering you to cope more effectively with anxiety triggers.
