unburden and reclaim
Therapy for
individuals and couples in
fairfax county, VA
Stop pretending everything is okay…
You want to feel excited about your life, but instead you feel:
Exhausted from trying to cope. This is not the life you want.
anguish, depression - IT USED TO BE EASIER
Depleted from showing up for everyone except you.
Sad, frustrated, terrified...can this relationship survive this?
Paralyzed by anxiety, and faking it. You can’t keep this up.
Sick of powering through those traumatic memories.
Tired of trying...done with the noise, the work, the overwhelm.
You’re on the edge of something different—
and it’s time to live like you mean it
Being in pain is real—the gravity, the confusion, the mess. I’m honored to be here for it, to share in it, to sit in it with you… if nothing more than to know you are not alone.
I’m not here to talk at you - and overwhelm you with clinical jargon. I’m here to be human with you. To dig, share trenches and pitfalls and remain curious, real and focused. I am trained in all the greatest hits but what works, is what speaks to you. We get honest, we get uncomfortable, and we get to work.
There’s nothing wrong with you. You have a nervous system that adapted to survive. That’s not a disorder. That’s brilliance.
I’m here to help you know this.
Although it often feels unwelcome, pain and conflict show up when something needs attention, understanding, or untethering.
Therapy gives us a chance to pause, breathe…reflect even. Is this where we want to be? Is this all there is?
When we meet, I’ll start by getting to know you - as you are. Not bridled with shame, guilt, confusion, and stories. I will see you as the person you are and the burdens you are carrying. We’ll explore how blocks show up in your life —in your nervous system, your relationships, and your history. Using a personal approach that includes understanding all those parts of who you are and what each one needs, we then explore and identify what happened and set road map to where you want to be.
