What do you do
when your heart is a breaking
and you're searching for air
in the breaths that you're taking
and your mind keeps on running
and it's off of the tracks
and you're trying so hard
but you can't get it back
and you're stomach is turning
and you're mouth has run dry
and you wish you could laugh
but you just wanna cry
when the sun goes down
on the noon of your day
and you wish you could speak
but there's no words to say
when your heart has grown dim
and your spirit grown cold
and you've lost all your youth
and your left getting old
when a look in the mirror
reveals the toll time has taken
and you think to yourself
have i been forsaken
how could this happen
how could this be
I used to be handsome
I used to be free
I used to feel love
I used to feel hope
but it won't wash away
not even with soap
this feeling you're feeling
This darkness that shadows
through all of your struggles
and all of your battles
and you think of the good times
and the love that you shared
but for all of your effort
you still just don't care
and your eyes have grown dim
and your heart has grown black
and you're feeling so empty
from the things that you lack
Am I lacking in patience
Am I lacking in love
Am I lacking in guidence
from the one up above
Can I look to a future
or a light up ahead
Am I just wasting time
Am i better off dead
You think I sound crazy
you think I sound bleak
or maybe I scare you
with the words that I speak
Call my feelings misguided
call my thoughts an obsession
call it what you will
I call it Depression

If you are looking for ultimate happiness, I am your ONE stop shop. Let's get started.
My sensitive and engaging, direct and practical, style is reported by my clients as one of their attractions to working with me. I work with Children, Adolescents and Adults, addressing ADHD, depression and anxiety, divorce, loss and medical trauma. . I would be honored with your trust in me.
I provide professional, results-oriented counseling with a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Hypnosis, methods that more quickly and effectively brings about positive changes.

Seeking an alternative to traditional therapy?
That’s why I’m here. My tools range from innovative new mind-body modalities (e.g., Energy Psychology) to the most ancient spiritual/energetic modality (shamanic healing). These tools enable me to help clients address most of the problems that licensed mental health professionals do – plus some they can’t. And usually do it more efficiently.
This is the main reason I almost always have one or more licensed therapists as clients. See the testimonials on my website.
As a licensed clinical psychologist for 20+ years, I understand that the relationship and "fit" between client and therapist is paramount. I work hard to establish and maintain a relationship based on mutual trust and honesty. We can work together to help you feel less stuck, and more in control.
You are getting things done! You go to work, knock down those goals- your super successful, and yet, things just aren't working. You're not happy, maybe you can't relax. On a normal week-anxiety keeps you up at night. And, with these last few months, you are even more on edge. Maybe it's time you talked to someone who understands the pressures of working and living in the DC area and how to protect your mental wellness.
I am friendly, kind, gentle, supportive, knowledgeable, and empower you to reach your potential. Whether you are looking for a Soul Makeover or some support through a trying time, welcome! Let's do this together.
Struggling with how much your world has changed in such a short time? Feeling anxious, on edge, and uncertain? If your anxiety has been triggered by current events, you are certainly not alone. But in some ways, that makes it harder. Everyone is worried and hurting, including you. You can also feel it tapping into some old stuff, magnifying how lousy you feel. You have worked so hard in your life to feel in charge and on top of things but now feel out of control and helpless. It's not a good feeling. Even worse, your usual coping mechanisms -- going to yoga class, getting coffee with a co-worker, or throwing yourself into work -- have been taken away for now. There's no real end in sight and you're not sure what to do.
We understand how awful that feels and want to help. The therapists at Nova Terra Therapy work both online and in-person to help clients like you to identify and deal with both old and new anxiety triggers. We use a variety of approaches but are particular fans of blending cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and EMDR. Using this combination, we help you to get at what's happening in both your mind and your body when it comes to anxiety-provoking or traumatic events. We've found that these two heavily-researched evidence-based treatments are particularly effective at giving our clients efficient, long-standing relief.
Life comes with all kinds of ups and downs. We all experience some kind of trauma throughout our lifetime. We often wear so many different hats, carry so many roles and we are responsible for so much in our everyday life, we end up neglecting ourselves. No two people are the same, therefore my counseling approach is personalized to meet your specific needs. You are not in this alone, let’s take this journey together.

My therapeutic relationship with you will quickly alleviate your emotional discomfort as well as help you grow as a person and develop new psychological abilities.
I have a passion and an interest in supporting children, teenagers, adults (including LGBTQIA+ community) and veterans with depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, trauma, anger management and work or school-related issues.

Everyone struggles at some time or another. That's life. And when the struggle becomes unmanageable, that's where I come in. As a sensorimotor trained therapist I offer a calming, non-judgmental, and supportive environment to explore your struggles. Part of that exploration may involve how your past intrudes upon your present, and your future. We work together to make sense of what is troubling you so you can become empowered to make the changes that will benefit your life. Are you worth that exploration and making those changes? Absolutely! I look forward to connecting with you.

Duuuuude!!! I am absolutely smitten with the way this poem was written. True talent. Seriously. Thank you for sharing this!
Btw, I am sorry you had to struggle to this great depth but, if it helps, know that this is proof that, even in your perceived lowest of moments, you still have something impacting to share, in this world. For that, I thank you. It helps me put words to what I have been through too and know, I am not alone.
Thanks alexsophia88, Sometimes the only way to clear my head is to channel all thoughts through me into words, it’s usually not pretty and brutally honest but at least when I’m done I feel free
