Therapists in Upper Marlboro, MD

Parents often face tremendous challenges in 'interpreting' the behaviors of their children. We all have our own lense with which we view our world with. I work with children and parents to learn to speak the same language. Learning the triggers of your child will help you as a parent determine the right approach in supporting your youth. I enjoy working with teens and young adults to give them the safe space to bring their challenging thoughts and feelings. I help the client not only learn more about themselves but also provide the language and skill to engage with their support system in a healthy manner.

As a therapist, I am a firm believer that changing your perspective changes your experience. My goal is to help clients recognize that thoughts impact emotions, which directly influence behavior.

As a clinician, it is important for me to meet a client where they are by utilizing their strengths, and helping them reach their full potential.
