I provide a non-judgmental space where clients can speak freely, feeling heard and understood. My approach balances assertiveness and compassion, offering honest feedback while maintaining empathy and support.

Based on some recent reviews, the therapeutic room I create offers an experience of comfort, support, congruency, and unconditional regard, in a safe and humble atmosphere. My tone is often soft, direct assertive, and my language is empathetic professional, encouraging, and transparent.

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.

My philosophy and approach to helping clients is to do a thorough assessment and develop a treatment plan that is characteristic of that client and guide clients through therapy to healing. Each client has a uniqueness about them and my work is finding it and helping that client realize it and live in it. Perception is the key to understanding. Awareness is the key to realization.

One of my favorite quotes is: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." To me, life is a journey. There will be many bumps, bruises, and obstacles along the way. That's okay. It's how you overcome those hurdles that count. Some need more assistance than others on this journey, and that's okay too. My approach is to promote healing and personal growth and development along this journey called life. I do not claim to have all of the answers. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own lives. My role is to assist you with getting out of your own way and discovering the path that you want to follow.

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.

I love doing therapy, because I believe it works, even when people have experienced long and difficult struggles. I love solving the new "puzzle" that each new person brings, and believe that solving that puzzle together makes us both feel hopeful and energized. People from all generations, personal situations, and walks of life are welcome in my office. I listen a lot, and I'm non-directive, but far from silent. I will provide as much structure as you need to feel comfortable, but try to stay out of your way as you develop your own insights and action plans. Building trust and rapport is important, and I will work hard to understand what you need to do that. We'll work together to stabilize distressing emotions and solve immediate real problems that are creating a crisis, then collaborate on longer-term goals to understand causes and old patterns so that new strengths and strategies can grow.
