It can seem as if this will never change. Begin to believe that it is possible to heal what has happened to you and to change how you feel, especially about yourself.

TELETHERAPY AND In-OFFICE APPOINTMENTS. My ideal client is someone who is seeking to understand her past, seeing how it impacts the present and deciding how to improve her future. I like to work with families and couples to improve communication. I have extensive experience in assessing and treating psychiatric issues with adolescents.

TELETHERAPY APPOINTMENTS, I have a profound passion to help clients with life events, transitions, challenges, and their personal growth. I provide a safe environment, positive support, and guidance to help you reach your goals. My practice style is an integrative mix of person-centered, solution focused, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavior, and attachment based therapy. The development of a safe and collaborative relationship serves as the foundation for positive and lasting change.

Taking the first step to engage in psychotherapy is often a struggle. I believe that it is my job to make this process as safe and comfortable as possible through a confidential and supportive therapeutic environment. I view each client as a unique individual with different experiences, strengths, and vulnerabilities. I tailor my therapeutic approach to fit the client's needs, symptoms and skills.

TELETHERAPY AVAILABLE. As both a Clinical Social Worker and Registered Nurse, I have a broad perspective on mental health issues and treatment options. I have over 25 years of experience helping adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

TELETHERAPY APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE. Ideally, I want to create an environment that allows my clients to find their way, learn about themselves, and grow to be leaders in their treatment. The approaches I use give clients the ability to take the initiative, evaluate and then make a plan of action. Making the decision to enter into therapy is a challenge in itself. But in the end I want to meet the client where they are at and go from there. Where applicable I use Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, play therapy, career/coaching and other modalities in practice.

TELETHERAPY AVAILABLE. My ideal client is one who wants to make a change, or to accept what cannot change, and is willing to look at their ways of thinking, behaving, and relating to others in order to do so. I enjoy working with adults and adolescents to address mood disorders, anxiety, relationship issues, and life transitions in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

TELETHERAPY APPOINTMENTS. My clinical training and professional background is in community counseling, with a focus on addictions, mental health disorders, grief and trauma. I work with children (age 5 and up), adolescents, and adults. My therapeutic presence is naturally open, accepting, and warm. I am very goal-oriented with my clients, as I believe in making the therapeutic process as productive, solution-focused, and meaningful as possible. I do work with clients to gain insight into how experiences from the past inform their present, but I do this in a way that focuses on working toward solving problems in the here-and-now.

TELETHERAPY For more than 12 years I've worked with adults, couples, families, and adolescents in Illinois, DC, and Maryland. I often use a diverse and ethnically sensitive and relevant approach to treatment. It is my goal to provide a non-judgmental and welcoming space for clients to ultimately experience joy, develop more effective coping strategies, and best understand their life's purpose. I value the therapeutic connection and relationship that includes a non judgmental and empathetic environment.

I have extensive experience working with anxiety, depression, mood, conflict and other issues affecting mental health and overall well-being. I have a dynamic approach to therapy predicated on listening, understanding and working through conflicts in a collaborative way. The support and insight gained in psychotherapy helps reduce stress and leads to personal growth.

TELETHERAPY AVAILABLE. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, children and families who are facing a challenge and are looking for support. My experience in clinical practice allows me to assist with goal directed activities and work to achieve significant changes. A large part of my work is helping clients manage their anxiety or depression and to take concrete steps towards a more positive future. We work together to accomplish goals that the client has chosen to gain a greater understanding of themselves and their behaviors.We focus on changing relationship dynamics and learning new coping skills.

Welcome. I am a licensed psychologist concerned for individuals experiencing problems with attention, concentration, memory, and learning (which often goes along with some anxiety and depression). Effective treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis. I provide psychological testing and assessment for all cultural groups to secure accurate diagnosis. This service includes a comprehensive report, including recommendations and accommodations for academic success. I also provide psychotherapy to help clients improve quality of life and to reach personal goals.

Through our work together, I will support you toward gaining insight into the roots of your challenges, and help empower you to move forward toward more peace and fulfillment. I believe that with appropriate support, we are all capable of finding solutions to our own problems. Therefore, I see my role as one of a guide or facilitator. I have extensive experience supporting individuals, couples, and families facing challenges including depression and anxiety, major life transitions, relationship conflict (romantic, family, friendships, professional), family-of-origin issues, setting and achieving life goals, parenting, and more.

TELETHERAPY AND IN-OFFICE APPOINTMENTS. I use my cultural background, professional training & experience to effectively address multicultural issues and problems that stem from social factors and the environment in which the client lives in. I excel at assisting clients who are invested in their own personal growth. Additionally, I have successfully treated clients struggling with women's issues and existential concerns related to seeking a more meaningful life.

In our office, clients are our guests. You are welcome - as an individual or a family - into a safe space, a second home. And as our guest, you will experience a comforting environment where you can share your most vulnerable moments openly, in confidence, and without judgment. Together, we will identify and address your concerns and your goals. Throughout the process, there will be reflection, learning and laughing on the way to clarity and empowerment.

TELETHERAPY AVAILABLE. For more than 25 years, I have worked in the counseling and mental health field helping clients from various cultural backgrounds and multicultural interests and mental health concerns. I’m grateful to avail myself to effectively help my clients make positive, targeted, measurable changes in their lives in achieving their identified goals; using a strengths-based therapeutic model of care. My primary therapeutic approaches are Person Centered, Adlerian and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Adlerian therapy takes an optimistic view and focuses on your unique strengths, creativity and capabilities.

I see my work with people as helping them to live happier and more fulfilling lives. Because we are all different, my services are highly individualized and I do not have a "one-size-fits-all" approach. I take a collaborative approach to working with you. Together, we will first understand your issues and then find better ways of coping, by learning and practicing skills that will allow you to make long-term changes in your life.

TELETHERAPY AVAILABLE, We might face life circumstances that seem impossible to cope with. Trusting that you can bounce back and move on can be quite a challenge during such times, but is for sure possible. I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients who have dared to hope, to seek help, and take charge of their life to create a better future. I have worked with individuals of different ages (adolescents, adults and seniors) with diverse backgrounds and life experiences.

TELETHERAPY AVAILABLE. I enjoy working with patients who are curious about themselves and are interested and capable of self-reflection and who can enjoy an enlivened and meaningful collaboration.
