Mental Health Counselor

Hello, my name is Sara! I am a clinician at our Reston, VA clinic who provides therapy services!

I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University. My approach is grounded in person-centered therapy, based on the belief that everyone has the potential to create meaningful change in their lives. I specialize in working with children, teens, and young adults who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, major life transitions, new medical diagnoses, or other emotional and mental health concerns.

Together, we’ll create a supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and experiences. Through play, creative expression, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques, I’ll help you understand your experiences, recognize unhelpful thought patterns, and build effective coping skills to navigate life’s challenges.

I understand that starting therapy can be difficult for some, and I commend you for taking this first step toward supporting your mental well-being. I look forward to working with you to navigate your current challenges and achieve the change you seek!
