I like to create a safe and comfortable telehealth environment. In couple therapy, we will start by setting ground rules. In individual and couples work, you will not be judged but will be challenged at times.

Whether facing life balance struggles, parentingrelationship conflicts, battling symptoms of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or just general issues; it is my belief that connecting with someone outside of your inner circle can be greatly beneficial. Life is ever changing and change can be difficult. I believe in working collaboratively with each person to identify needs, create goals, and make progress towards those goals. Working together, we can move forward in creating improvement in mind, body, and general well being.

We all have challenges that hold us back and keep us from living our best life. Maybe you have been disappointed, experienced loss, trauma, or rejection. Perhaps you have struggled with divorce, anxiety, isolation, or low self-esteem. You may be going through a difficult transition. I offer a blend of tools to help you begin to feel better. I bring solid experience and research-based strategies to my work. I believe in working with each person in a way that is individualized for them and honors the way they think and feel. I strive to make everyone feel comfortable, safe and supported during our sessions. I am a cognitive behavioral therapist, but also draw from many other techniques.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia and Maryland. As an eclectic therapist, I draw from multiple therapeutic approaches to create a personalized experience that best supports each client’s unique needs. I believe that no single method works for everyone, so I integrate techniques from various evidence-based modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness practices, and person-centered approaches. My philosophy of helping is rooted in flexibility, collaboration, and respect for each individual’s worldview. I strive to understand your experiences, values, and goals, using different therapeutic tools to support your healing and growth. Whether we are exploring thought patterns, processing emotions, building coping skills, or strengthening relationships, my approach adapts to what works best for you. I have had the privilege of working with individuals across a range of settings, including crisis counseling, family therapy, outpatient therapy, hospitalizations, and with children in the foster care system. I have supported clients facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, mood struggles, conduct issues, and family conflicts. Seeking counseling can feel daunting and vulnerable, but my primary goal is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you feel heard, accepted, and genuinely cared for. If you're looking for someone who will listen deeply and understand your unique experience, I am here for you. Take that first step, knowing you're not alone. Together, we can begin the journey toward the person you want to become, with all the support and encouragement you deserve.

If we could think our way into the life we wanted, we would already be there. But healing and growth is not simply about thinking. It is about attending to our feelings, accepting ourselves where we are, and believing in possibilities. The Four Corners Counseling & Well-being way of therapy, practiced by the founder, Hetty Barnett, and all associates: For Thinking Women (and Men, too): Are you struggling to feel better about yourself and your life? If you are feeling stressed and overwhelmed, if your relationships are causing pain or confusion, we can help. We know from hard-earned experience that being an intelligent "over-functioner" does not mean we can easily soothe our emotional pain and create a balanced life. My associates and I can help you tap into your inner wisdom and strength to create the life you desire. For couples on the brink: At Four Corners Counseling & Well-being, we believe that couples deserve a safe space and a competent therapist to help them navigate their relationship, and move beyond problems to possibilities. This work is sacred, and couples who seek our help are doing so not only for themselves, but for the benefit of their children (if there are any), for their families, and for future generations. We have no pre-determined expectation of how a relationship will unfold. We do firmly believe that any work the members of a couple do to speak for their feelings (not from them) and listen to their partner from a grounded sense of self can reap many benefits in the future, no matter what the outcome. People can grow; people DO grow as they work with me. It takes a village to raise a relationship, and we want to be part of that village. Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of therapy: We are trained in IFS, the fastest growing therapy model today. As a clinical treatment, IFS has been rated effective for improving general functioning and well-being. In addition, it has been rated promising for improving phobia, panic, and generalized anxiety disorders; trauma resolution; physical health conditions; personal resilienceself-concept; and depression and depressive symptoms. Internal Family Systems can help clients learn ways to better relate to themselves, and move toward the 8 C’s of Self-Leadership: calmness, curiosity, clarity, compassion, confidence, creativity, courage, and connectedness.

Life in DC is demanding. I have helped numerous people who are struggling to manage the professional responsibilities of highly competitive jobs while also trying to navigate challenges in their romantic lives. The people I most commonly work with are bright, motivated professionals who are experiencing significant anxiety trying to meet the expectations of others and may be finding it difficult to carve out emotionally rewarding relationships and experiences. Many people who reach out are also struggling with symptoms of depression and inability to fully find meaning in their lives. If this sounds familiar, I can help you identify and challenge unconscious negative beliefs that may be creating anxiety and interfering with your ability to take active steps towards meaningful goals. The people I work with report feeling greater clarity and confidence, and an improved ability to lead a life consistent with their values.

I support individuals who feel anxious, stuck in self-doubt, or caught in patterns that no longer serve them. I especially enjoy working with young adults, people new to therapy, and individuals in recovery. My style is warm, collaborative, and rooted in helping you explore your emotions, clarify your needs, and build self-trust. Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you're used to handling everything on your own. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just a willingness to start. Whether you're navigating relationships, overthinking everything, or feeling pulled in too many directions, I’ll meet you where you are. Together, we’ll explore what’s been holding you back and begin practicing new ways of relating to yourself and others—with boundaries, confidence, and clarity.
