Therapists in Silver Spring, MD

I believe that when problems surface, people do the best they can to cope. Therapy provides a way to increase our coping skills and can give us a sense of relief. With my empathetic style and collaborative problem-solving approach, I can help you create the kind of life you have always imagined for yourself. I seek to empower people with the tools and skills that they need to understand, confront, cope with and manage their life stressors. You'll gain important skills to cope with stress, manage troublesome feelings and improve relationships.

I find that many people have dealt with so much trauma and disappointment in life that they begin to feel powerless. The way out isn’t necessarily to fix all the problems in your life, but to learn how to respond differently to them, as your capable self. You might wonder what your life purpose really is, or feel as if you’re stuck in the same cycle. Many of my clients have described feeling overwhelmed by the never-ending pressures of life. Sometimes it takes an outside perspective to see a new path. I help people get out of unhelpful patterns, so they can pursue their true purpose, no matter what’s happening around them.
