THERAPY FOR WOMEN IN ALEXANDRIA & ACROSS THE DMV AREA
Finally feel as confident inside as you look on the outside.
Start living life on your own terms.
You’ve spent your life trying to do things “right”... so why do you feel so tired, lost, and unfulfilled?
It feels like you’ve fooled everyone into thinking you have it all together. People trust and depend on you because you’re the strong one who always shows up in times of need.
But when you finally have a quiet moment to yourself? You can’t stop overthinking everything from your day, getting stuck in loops of “what if” and “if only.” And yet, no amount of second-guessing has helped you figure out why, no matter how hard you try, it still feels like something’s missing.
So, you keep pushing through. You take care of everyone else, put your own needs last, and tell yourself you should be stronger at your big age. Deep down, you wonder if something’s wrong with you because you can’t shake the guilt and anxiety that seem to follow you everywhere.
Maybe you’ve even been to therapy before. You know what you’re supposed to say, you’ve read the books, you understand why you are the way you are—but knowing hasn’t helped you actually feel any different.
You’re tired of talking in circles when what you really want is to get to the root of the issue and start living differently.
You don’t have to bear the weight of the world to be good enough.
Let’s lay down what isn’t yours to carry and start building the life you actually want.
Hi, I’m Jewel.
I’m not here to “fix” you, because you’re not broken.
I’m here to remind you that you already have what you need.
I try to show up in sessions the way I hope my clients will learn to be with themselves—honest, compassionate, and direct. In this space, you don’t have to perform or pretend like you’re okay when you’re not. Every part of you is welcome, even the ones you sometimes worry are “too much.”
A lot of women tell me they finally feel understood here.
I think that comes from a mix of my own lived experience and 25+ years of professional experience supporting women who carry more than anyone realizes—whether it’s for their family, at work, or just the weight of being in this world.
What matters most is that we aren’t just here to talk, we’re here to change. My goal is that we can get to the root of what’s going on, figure out how you’d like things to be different, learn to listen to the answers that are already inside you, and find practical steps toward a version of life that feels like yours.
Specializing in…
-
It feels like your mind never stops running. Every decision comes with worst-case scenarios and doubt, but no amount of worrying actually solves the problem. You’re exhausted from keeping up the act that everything’s “fine.”
Therapy with me gives you a place to slow down, untangle what’s really driving the anxiety, and learn how to feel more grounded and at ease in your daily life.
-
Your loved ones keep turning to you because they know you’ll say “yes,” but the truth is you actually don’t know how to say no without feeling guilty. You give and give until you’re drained—and have nothing left for yourself.
Here, we’ll work together to help you recognize what you deserve, set boundaries without shame, and build connections that feel safe and mutual.
-
You’re ready for real change and you don’t want to spend months circling the same story every week. Maybe you’ve been in therapy before and left feeling like nothing actually shifted.
Intensives give us the extra time needed to go deeper, so you can get to the root of what’s been holding you back and start experiencing real relief sooner.
It’s time to put yourself first for once.
