I am so glad you are here. At Virginia Family Wellness, I am dedicated to supporting you as we uncover and build upon your unique strengths.

My Approach to Our Work Together

I focus on creating a therapeutic space grounded in empathy, genuine connection, and the validation of your feelings and emotions. I want you to feel seen, heard, and deeply respected. My goal is to cultivate a supportive environment where you feel empowered to explore your experiences at a pace that is comfortable for you.

A Well-Rounded and Integrative Lens

I view therapy through a multi-lens perspective, honoring your cultural background and human experience while integrating cognitive and behavioral insights. This well-rounded approach ensures that I am addressing your needs comprehensively. I utilize an integrative, person-centered framework that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

Through these modalities, I will support you to:

• Develop practical self-regulation skills to foster emotional balance.

• Recognize and safely navigate overwhelming situations.

• Build upon your existing strengths to reach your attainable goals.

• Cultivate resilience during periods of change.

Areas of Support

I enjoy engaging with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I frequently collaborate with people experiencing:

• Symptoms of anxiety and depression.

• Substance use disorder.

• Life transitions and adjustment periods.

I believe that meaningful progress happens through collaboration. By providing unconditional positive regard and focusing on person-centered interventions, we will work together to align with your personal goals. I am here to help you navigate challenges and recognize the important progress you make every step of the way.
