What should people thinking about therapy with you, know about you?

Prospective clients should know that I bring a deeply empathetic and intuitive approach to therapy, shaped by my own personal experiences with mental health challenges. My mission is to create a safe and nurturing space where clients can explore their emotions and experiences without judgment. I specialize in helping individuals break free from unhelpful patterns, heal from trauma, manage anxiety and depression, enhance their relationships, and navigate life's transitions. My approach is holistic and tailored to each client's unique needs, integrating a variety of evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, ERP, ACT, and more.

"The purpose of life is to discover our own inherent nobility and to help others discover theirs." – Abdu'l-Bahá. My journey to becoming a therapist began with my own experience of managing mental health from a young age. This personal journey highlighted the profound power of therapy and inspired me to help others achieve similar transformations. Therapy, to me, is more than a profession—it’s my calling. Every step I take alongside my clients reaffirms the transformative power of hope, healing, and the therapeutic relationships. I have extensive experience and training in treating depression, anxiety disorders, other mood disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, trauma/PTSD, relationship issues, grief, and life transitions. Healing isn’t about avoiding pain; it’s about feeling safe enough to face it, embrace it, and grow from it. Much like a rose blooms despite the thorns, I believe in your ability to rise through challenges and thrive. Together, we’ll create a supportive space where you can explore, build resilience, and move confidently toward the life you envision.

In sessions, I'm active, engaged, curious, and real. I'm committed to understanding your unique struggles as we work to cultivate change, insight, and growth. You can expect an inclusive and affirming therapeutic environment in which you feel heard, understood, and cared for. Therapy is hard work and my hope is that we build a strong therapeutic alliance and that you gain relief from and insight into painful emotions and difficult life experiences.

If you find that you’re struggling in your relationships, maybe working harder than others and still feeling that this isn’t enough, or you’re feeling as though life is a balancing act and you’re overwhelmed, anxious, irritable or that you’ll break down at any moment, then you’ve come to the right place. I work with adults who struggle to effectively manage demands, feel burnt out, and are constantly shifting to accommodate their varying needs but never feel steady. I work from an integrative approach with a focus on helping you find relief from painful emotions, increase self-understanding, and learn valuable skills to make effective change. It is possible to feel stable and secure and to have healthy, fulfilling relationships and life. I can help!

I provide people with practical strategies to apply in everyday life. My interventions are evidence-based. I use what I call "stepping stones" to help people manage their symptoms of anxiety or depression. These "stepping stones" are small things that you can do throughout your day to feel good again.

As a pre-licensed intern, my goal is to empower you to make positive changes. I work under the supervision of Dr. Angela Waggoner as I complete full licensing requirements in Texas. I earned a Master’s degree from Liberty University in 2008, and I earned a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Southampton. I am currently in a degree program to update coursework and meet licensing requirements. I am certified in mindfulness-based stress reduction and certified clinical trauma professional. I have a great deal of experience working with children, adolescents, and families in crisis. I utilize trauma-informed care as I teach mindfulness techniques for emotional regulation to help manage anxiety, depression, anger, and other difficulties. I have completed Level 1 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and I use this in my work.

As an experienced licensed professional counselor, it is my honor to assist you in exploring your core issues and move toward a healthy, fulfilling life. Utilizing a variety of approaches including Adlerian, Cognitive/Cognitive-Behavioral, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Existential/Humanistic, Integrative, I will work with you to create a treatment plan that is customized to meet your unique circumstances.

My favorite quote is “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how I react to it.” This quote is the embodiment of what causes our stress. Often times the things outside of our control (past/present) cause us the most turmoil. Treatment will focus on working together to help you understand how core beliefs and automatic thoughts can determine your actions and world view, in order to improve and maximize your potential for happiness.

Sleep psychology or behavioral sleep medicine is the sole focus of my practice. In addition to insomnia, I help optimize sleep quality for a wide variety of sleep disorders (e.g., sleep apnea, delayed sleep phase) using a personalized and holistic approach.

Dr. Sarah Silverman is a licensed Clinical Health Psychologist and Stanford-trained Behavioral Sleep Medicine specialist with a passion for sleep health and wellness. Dr. Silverman is an expert in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), the first-line, drug-free sleep therapy for adults with chronic insomnia. CBT-I is an effective way to learn how to sleep naturally without medication.

My approach is one that is eclectic to fit the needs of the client, however I utilize mostly CBT and Solution focused to move clients forward towards change and their goals. My approach is collaborative with the client, so we really work together in reaching your desired outcomes. 

Sometimes our reality can feel far off from our desires and goals. Maybe you feel stuck, stressed, overwhelmed or full of a lot of uncertainty in your life or relationships. As a result, maybe your mental health has taken a hit. Maybe you’re trying to figure to all out on your own and you just want to get back to that healthier version of yourself or relationship but just not sure how.  Be encouraged change is possible and real!  I work with adults, couples, and premarital couples in cultivating the outcomes they are desiring to have. Life throws many curveballs and I support you by giving you tools and skills to catch them when it does. We will work collaboratively towards your goals and create a path forward where movement is possible, and hope restored. I also provide Christian integrative therapy for those who want a faith based perspective. We all want to feel whole and live a life of meaning and purpose. You don't have to figure it all out alone. Change is possible and a new path forward is available today. I attended Pepperdine University, Masters in Clinical Psychology with emphasis in marriage and family therapy.

We believe clients are the experts in their own lives, and our goal is to build trust and foster collaboration, creating a supportive space for healing and growth.

We work to help clients overcome a wide range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and stress management. With experience working with clients of all ages, from adolescents to older adults, my primary focus is on supporting young adults and adults. We offer a safe, compassionate space to promote personal growth, build coping skills, and enhance overall well-being. Let’s work together to navigate life’s challenges and foster lasting change.

I am just like you. I am a Millennial who loves pizza, video games, comedy, and nature. I experience stress, I have to manage my own perfectionism, and I am a "Recovering Fawner"—it is something I work on every single day. I don't claim to be a guru on a mountaintop who knows all of life's answers—I'm a fellow traveler who happens to have the map. I combine my professional training with my own lived experiences so I can help you navigate your journey a little more easily.

Hi, I’m Jenn. I'm a Resident in Counseling and the founder of The Mind Garden, a boutique, online-only practice in Virginia. I specialize in helping millennials who are exhausted from holding it all together. If you are the person everyone else relies on, but you feel like you have no one to lean on yourself, you are in the right place. If you struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, or the inability to say "no" without guilt, I can help you move from surviving your life to inhabiting it. My approach is warm, evidence-based (IFS & CBT), and entirely human-first.

I am a “normal” person too. I meet my clients with absolutely no judgment. I offer emotional support and positive regard. 

What could the best version of yourself look like? By creating a safe, nurturing environment built on empathy, compassion and trust, together we will identify coping skills, establish healthy boundaries and reframe negative self talk. Together we will work on identifying more confident and healthy life choices. I would be honored to support you through your journey of self awareness and self empowerment.

I am very direct with my clients -- gently. You're ready to make a change in your life and my job is to facilitate that! So while I'll probably laugh at your jokes if they're really funny, I'll also invite you to dig a little deeper and get into the 'good stuff.'
