Areas of Focus
Alcohol and Other Substances
You or someone you love is drinking, smoking weed or using other substances a lot. You’re worried.
There’s no judgement here. This is simply a safe space to take stock. Together we’ll examine this issue and make a plan to reduce the impact drinking and substance use have on your life. Whether your goal is to reduce use or stop altogether, we’ll find the path that’s right for you.
Depression, Worry and Anxiety
More than ever, many of us are struggling with overwhelming worries and sadness. When the joyful moments of life become fewer and far between, when you aren’t sleeping well and don’t have the energy to do anything but try to get through the day, it’s time to reach outside of yourself and get help. Together we’ll develop a strategy to bring joy, energy and peace back into your life.
Parenting is Damn Hard Sometimes
The daily stress of caring for a child with concerning behaviors, disabilities or challenges is a weight you carry around daily. Consumed with worry, you are trying to maintain all your roles: Spouse/partner, mom, daughter, worker—but you’re stretched too thin and something’s got to give. We’ll work towards restoring peace, managing stress, and reaching your goals for you and your family.
In-Office Therapy
In person therapy takes place in Ashburn, Virginia. The office is conveniently located on Route 7, at the crossroads of Ashburn and Leesburg, near Inova Loudoun Hospital and Lansdowne. This location is just minutes from One Loudoun, Belmont Chase (Whole Foods), and downtown Leesburg.
The office is a safe, comfortable and private place to talk.
Walk and Talk Therapy
What is Walk and Talk Therapy?
Walk and Talk Therapy is just what it sounds like. Instead of sitting in an office or on a screen, you take a walk with your therapist and talk in an outdoor, natural setting.
What are the benefits of Walk and Talk Therapy?
Some of the benefits of Walk and Talk Therapy include
Adding movement to your day, especially helpful if you have a job that has you sitting in front of a computer.
Not having to make direct eye contact while talking. Some people report they think better this way, others find looking at natural surroundings makes talking about challenging topics easier.
We know that being outdoors improves mood and alleviates depression. Getting out in the sunshine, surrounded by trees, walking past a pond or a stream relieves stress, and the extra vitamin D extends the benefits well beyond the therapy session.
Where does Walk and Talk Therapy take place?
Walk and Talk Therapy is available from my office in Ashburn. While it looks like a busy office building, a few steps away is a path along the woods, a pond and a field that allows for private therapeutic conversations to take place.
On-Line Therapy
On-line therapy is provided to you in the state of Virginia. We’ll use a secure telehealth platform that keeps our session private and safe. State regulations allow provision of therapy services only if you, the client, are in the state of Virginia at the time of your therapy session.
Group Therapy
Group therapy provides the benefit of support from others who are facing similar circumstances. Guided by a therapist, the group works together to process through a variety of challenges.
