You don’t have to feel this overwhelmed or alone.
Psychotherapist in Fairfax, Virginia for Adults 22 and up.
You have many responsibilities in life, and many people count on you. You feel overwhelmed and some days, you just want to crawl into a hole and disconnect, but you wouldn’t even know where to start. Maybe there are things you think or feel, but you don’t feel like there is anyone in life you can share these things with. Yet, you know that keeping them inside is taking its toll on you. Enough feeling so much pressure but so little connection. You want and deserve, and can feel connected to yourself again, and to others that are important to you.
Maybe something happened to you and it left its mark. Were you assaulted, physically or sexually? A car (or other) accident? A loved one died suddenly or after a long illness? The images are still in your mind, and the sensations you felt still pop up. You want this to stop happening, but you don’t want to talk about it, so it feels like a “system crash” in your head and body that you try to handle, or at least hide.
Or you are at a crossroads in your life. Your job is changing, you are retiring, you have graduated college or graduate school. Or you are going through a divorce. Whether the transition is exciting, sad or scary (or a little of all of these), you want a non-judgmental person to talk to and help you get some clarity on what you need or want from the future. I am here to help.
You can see me online or in-person at my office in Fairfax, Virginia.
