Licensed Professional Counselor · Serving Teens & Adults
I specialize in anxiety disorders, OCD, and trauma. I'm trained in EMDR and use evidence-based approaches to help teens and adults untangle intrusive thoughts, overwhelming emotions, and patterns that feel stuck. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to do deep, meaningful work.
“You are not your thoughts, and you don't have to fight them alone.”
— Deegan, Licensed Professional Counselor
My role is to help you build confidence, resilience, and the skills to live your life fully, even when anxiety shows up. Sessions are structured, intentional, and collaborative — with both compassion and clear direction.
Warm, compassionate, and grounding, with strategies that are both practical and effective.
Are ready to gently face the things they've been avoiding, whether that's intrusive thoughts, trauma memories, or anxiety patterns. You don't have to feel "ready," just willing to take small steps forward together.
Structured, intentional, and collaborative sessions. For OCD, we focus on understanding the cycle and building tolerance for uncertainty. For trauma, I use EMDR to help reprocess stuck memories. Warmth paired with real tools.
At Riverside Counseling and Psychiatry, Deegan works with clients from Ashburn, Leesburg, Sterling, and across Northern Virginia, and offers telehealth for patients throughout Virginia.
