Compassionate counseling in Alexandria, Virginia.

In-person and telehealth therapy for children, teens, families, young adults, and adults to build healthy connections, increase self-awareness, and develop practical skills to more effectively manage anxiety, depression, mood disorders, family and relationship issues, life transitions, and trauma.

Welcome!

I’m Susan, a licensed clinical social worker based in Alexandria, Virginia. I offer in-person counseling at my cozy, sunlit office in Alexandria, as well as virtual sessions for residents of Virginia and Utah. My passion is helping children, teens, young adults, adults, and families to experience enhanced well-being and to feel more in control when navigating the complexities of their daily lives.

With over 29 years of clinical experience, I utilize several therapeutic modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Mindfulness, Structural Family Therapy (SFT), Strength-Based Therapy, and Play Therapy.

Whether you’re looking to begin therapy for yourself or exploring therapy for your child or your family, I provide a safe and supportive space to openly and compassionately address your individual challenges and mental health concerns. I will support you in your journey of personal growth.
