Making the decision to seek therapy is often a scary one, but it needn’t be. If you are suffering from depression or anxiety, the pain of past or present abuse, a toxic or complicated relationship, infidelity, conflicts with loved ones, or simply unhappiness, I can be that positive, nonjudgemental person who helps guide you through your pain and gives you coping skills to create the happiness you deserve.

At my agency, Chrysalis Institute Emotional Wellness, we believe in treating everyone with dignity and respect regardless of their lifestyle choices. It is important to meet each client where they are. We are best suited to treating sexual and physical abuse, couples issues, self-esteem, anxiety, phobias, & depression. We are able to work with a wide variety of clients and gain rapport quickly with them. At present, our clients range from age 9 to 64, both male and female from all walks of life. We maintain an informal atmosphere in our offices that allows clients to feel comfortable and at ease.

Hello, I am a MHR Clinical Mental Health Counseling Intern practicing under the supervision of Jan Plavchak, LPC-S, at Empowerment Behavioral Health Counseling & Consulting, LLC. I work alongside individuals who are grieving, recovering from traumatic events/histories, or navigating transitions in their lives. Processing vicarious trauma is a strength of mine. I work with clients as they connect with themselves and others, moving forward to meet their desired goals. In addition to this, I am also a Clinical Intern at Bethesda, Inc., serving minor-age survivors of sexual assault and their caregivers.

I assist clients in seeing how their past could be affecting them in their present life. We work together to identify schemas and heal the wounds that have become emotional hindrances and relationship barriers. Additionally, I believe that relational issues can often begin or be perpetuated by differences in temperament/personality and unhealthy boundaries. I see great value in helping others learn to interact and deal with conflict more effectively and find hope no matter how hopeless they may feel. Ultimately, I help people identify their values, uncover their core/authentic self, and gain the courage to live congruently.

I am a counselor who truly feels honored to be working alongside adult clients to help facilitate the change they need in their life. In addition to being a therapist, I have worked in higher education since 2006 as a college professor and even an adviser, so I have the passion and the knowledge base required for working with college aged clients. In addition, I have years of experience working with adults who have experienced trauma, or struggle with anxiety, depression, personal, or marital issues.

You don't have to live in emotional pain! Experience healing today! Generally, our culture does not understand emotions very well. We're shamed for showing emotion. Many of us walk around with our emotional tanks empty. This can cause symptoms similar to trauma. It shows up in our relationships as conflict and our alone-time as anxiety and depression. Beyond that, many have experienced significant emotional trauma. Resorting to mere coping skills in an attempt to navigate trauma can offer some short term relief. However, true healing from emotional pain can be yours.

Do you feel stuck in a rut? Like you are running into a similar problem over and over or fighting the same fights with your partner? If you feel this way, it is because you probably are. Our view of ourselves, the world, and our closest relationships are influenced by our family of origin and are the catalyst for these patterns in our lives, including issues with self-esteem, unhappiness, anxiety, and relationship dissatisfaction. As a systemic therapist, I look below the surface and want to help to get to the root of what is going on.
