Therapy for Individuals, Children, and Adolescents in Alexandria, VA
We’ve heard it before…
The flight attendant says, “put your mask on before assisting others.”
The adage, take care of yourself before taking care of others, could not be more accurate.
Yet, we often neglect our own needs.
And then we’re somehow surprised when we feel nagging dissatisfaction, anger, resentment, and the pain of disconnection in our most cherished relationships. Sometimes, it is the familiar pang of fear and dread that keeps a conveyor belt of disparaging thoughts racing through our minds.
These things keep us from fully immersing ourselves in life.
In the age of Facebook and Instagram, we look at the posts of friends and acquaintances. These “perfect-seeming” scenes send a wave of regret through our bodies, because we know, deep down, that we are not living the life we imagined.
Are you ready for change?
Transform feelings of unworthiness.
Disconnection, a sense of not having your own voice, or being invisible and discounted… it all needs to change. It’s been too long and too costly.
The expense of not taking action is affecting you emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
Here, with me by your side, you can take the first steps to nurturing yourself, healing past wounds, and connecting in your most important relationships – starting with yourself.
Reinvent yourself, your thinking and reactions, and the ways you experience the only life we are given.

Relationships and experiences have left you feeling unworthy of love and happiness.
A traumatic experience continues to hold you in its grip, threatening your happiness. Through the pain, loneliness, and shame, you’re unable to see a way out of this place.
Treading water and are barely able to stay afloat, with thoughts and feelings of confusion and anxiety.
Relationships at home, work, or with friends may be suffering, and you’re doubting your ability to be successful in them.
The rest of your life is calling….

And still, nothing seems to work.
