Hi, I'm Aja!

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Virginia and I offer advice, support, and a safe space to talk about the problems you’re struggling with.

I specialize in working with sexual and relationship addictions/dysfunctions, betrayal trauma, and childhood trauma issues. I am a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT) trained by the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) through the EMDR International Association.

My passion is to help clients deepen their understanding of themselves, find genuine healing, make deeper and meaningful connections, and strengthen their relationships.

Therapy with me is interactive, direct, warm, and compassionate. Together, we will focus on what lies underneath problematic behaviors and painful feelings while simultaneously building skills needed to change and grow. I also use a variety of therapeutic approaches to meet the needs of my clients.

I am here for you.
