Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Charlottesville, VA


I specialize in helping individuals and couples heal from trauma, attachment wounds, and relational pain through an attachment-based, experiential approach rooted in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP).

My work is informed by attachment science and neuroscience, and grounded in the belief that healing happens within safe, emotionally attuned relationships. AEDP recognizes that when emotional pain is met with genuine connection, compassion, and support, the nervous system naturally moves toward healing, integration, and greater resilience.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Arlington, VA

Finding family therapists in Arlington starts with understanding what your family wants support with. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, sibling conflict, relationship strain, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the family system, rather than focusing only on one person. As you compare Arlington therapists, look for bios that mention family counseling, parent-child concerns, couples therapy, marriage counseling, or approaches such as family systems therapy.

In Arlington, practical fit can matter as much as specialty. Some people prefer in-person counseling in Arlington, especially near home, work, school, or transit. Others prefer virtual sessions when coordinating schedules across family members. Family therapy may include the full family, smaller groups within the family, couples, or individual members, depending on the goals for care. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for availability, session structure, communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation to talk through fit.

Therapy in Arlington can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find family therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, verify your insurance, and see estimated costs before your first session. From Shirlington therapy options to broader Arlington therapy searches, you can browse therapists, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
