Online Therapy in Virginia for Trauma and Teen Anxiety
Online Therapy in Virginia for Past Trauma and Teen Anxiety
Online Therapy Works for the High Expectations of Virginia
The pressure is always on, especially in Virginia. The expectations are high and the standards are set. It feels like you can never meet them—but that’s nothing compared to the even higher expectations, criticism, and shame going on within you. Some days you’re running non-stop. You are doing everything for everyone. You are self-reliant, on top of it all. But it’s a performance. Deep down, you’re exhausted, drained. And internally? You feel lonely, invisible, and imperfect. You desperately hope that no one figures it out.
In online therapy, you don’t have to negotiate what everyone else needs you to do. You get to show up for yourself, around your schedule and be real. You don’t have to jump through the hoops of everyone else’s demands, stressful traffic, or unpredictable weather. You get to take your time in your private space to just be. No pressure, no rush, no expectations. Doesn’t that sound like the break, healing time, and self-care you have been searching for?
I specialize in providing online therapy for adults with histories of trauma and for teens with anxiety and low self-esteem. My specialties include adults who feel “too much and not good enough,” with histories of childhood trauma and parentification trauma and teens with anxiety and low self-esteem.

Skip the Stressful Traffic in Virginia and Get Straight to Your Online Therapy Session
Like you, I am no stranger to how time-consuming traffic can be in Virginia, or how unpredictable public transportation can be. I remember taking twice as long as anticipated to get home on Route 50, or waiting around on the Metro platform. The beauty of online therapy? It can work for you and save you time.
With online therapy, you can schedule your session before work or school, during your lunch hour, or take the time off you need to enter into your healing space.
With the time you save? You can explore Old Town Alexandria, go hiking in Shenandoah National Park, let the water tickle you in Virginia Beach, or take a scenic drive towards Charlottesville and Richmond.
Online Therapy for Trauma and Teen Anxiety in Virginia
I specialize in working with overwhelmed and hyperindependent adults who want to heal past trauma and anxious teens who want to recover their capability and power.
I help those who feel “too much” and “not good enough” harness their confidence and be their true, authentic selves in the world.
Therapy Approaches
Internal Family Systems (IFS) - You may view some parts of you as “bad” and others as “good,” but IFS allows you to unlock compassion for the many parts of you, the parts of your personality that show up to protect, that are wounded, that hurt. This compassion unlocks healing in a profound way.
Sand Tray & Play-based Therapy - I welcome every part of you, exactly as you are. These approaches utilize symbols and metaphor to tap into and deepen your connection to your emotions and needs, enhancing your healing through what is hard to verbalize
Interpersonal Neurobiology - This approach combines an understanding of how you relate to others, as well as knowledge of brain science to enhance your awareness of how your body and nervous system have had to survive in the past and present
Online Therapy Lets You Dive into Self-Compassion
My approach involves deepening your connection to your needs, your body, and your emotions.
Nothing makes this easier than using your own private space to dive into these skills. Why? You get to immediately begin putting the skills you are learning into practice.
In your space, you can do that in a number of ways: sitting in your favorite chair, using a fidget to help you focus, getting warm under blanket, and even being near your pet and/or plants! It’s part of making your valuable therapeutic time safe, approachable, and available to you in a way that meets and tunes into your body’s needs.
(Plus, I personally always have a blanket nearby to be cozy!)
