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.

You’re feeling disconnected from yourself or the people around you. Maybe you’re feeling stuck in life and can’t find the energy to change things up. Or maybe you’re overwhelmed by thoughts or feelings that push you around or keep you from doing what you want to be doing. I'd like to help. Clients often come to me seeking relief from pervasive anxiety and overwhelm, or wanting to process major changes. I work with clients in all forms of relationships, and see couples and polycules too.

Perhaps you thought a relationship or job would bring meaning and purpose into your life, and now you are at cross-roads or generally feel unfulfilled. You may even recognize the patterns that you need to change, but you cannot figure out how to put that change into action. Together we can develop a holistic plan for action that helps you develop healthy habits, grow personally, and be a leader in your work and life.

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.
I have the passion and absolute privilege to walk alongside people as they discover more about themselves. I work best with adolescent girls and adult women of all presentations navigating gender constructs, oppression, depression, anxiety, traumatic events, grief, relationship issues, deconstructing old belief systems, and more.

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.
