Welcome. Seeking help for yourself is never easy. You've taken a big step, so, let's keep your momentum going. Do you ever feel guilty or shameful about things that have happened to you? Do you feel shameful about who you are or fear that you are not lovable or worthwhile? Do you struggle with intimacy in relationships or can your relationships be chaotic? 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.

You are beautiful, you are loved, you are creating yourself... let's embark on the journey of unfolding the best version of YOU. I sense your pain/ struggle; together we'll create the process of your healing and growth. I worked with clients at all developmental stages and issues - from crisis, trauma, special needs, adjustment, to managing clinical intensity mental health disorders, loss, family strategies. I am dynamic/ creative, I use techniques involving EMDR, visuals, movement, drawing, meditation, videos, reflection. Together, we'll create strategies that can take you where you want to be in your inner balance circumstances.

My therapeutic approach is supportive, collaborative, and integrative. I work to tailor treatment approaches to the needs of my clients and to collaborate on identifying goals. My goal is to help clients gain insight, improve communication, and strengthen coping skills. I incorporate techniques used in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), and mindfulness. My clients have expressed an appreciation for my warm and accepting style. As Carl Rogers once said: "The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.".

I am an open minded and authentic therapist that believes in the importance of self determination for all of my clients. I strongly feel that you are the expert on your own life, and I will allow your needs and concerns to guide our sessions. I believe that everyone is deserving of help and compassion, and I work to create a calm and safe environment in order to provide treatment to the "whole person." I particularly enjoy helping clients through techniques such as breath work and guided imagery to both explore and gain increased awareness of the mind and body connection.

* NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS FOR THERAPY AND NEUROFEEDBACK TRAINING * I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who helps adults, couples, and teenagers address a variety of mental health concerns, including: anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and difficulties related to life's everyday challenges. I am also board-certified with the Biofeedback Certification International Alliance (BCIA), and can combine neurofeedback training with psychotherapy sessions to help clients conceptualize and address their treatment goals from a emotional, behavioral, and neurological perspective.

I strive to create a safe space for my clients where they can be themselves and completely open about their needs and concerns. Some of my interests include helping children, teens, and adults recover from anxiety, depression, and trauma. I have experience helping clients reduce negative thought patterns and challenging behaviors such as angry outbursts or acts of self harm. I also enjoy helping children and teens with peer or family related conflict and building stronger relationships. We will use a strengths based approach in order to increase positive thoughts, behaviors, communication, and self esteem.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process and I work closely with you to develop a treatment plan geared toward your individual needs. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment where you can begin to understand yourself and your situation and make changes as you face life challenges.

I am a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor and I provide individual therapy services to adults age 18 and up. I have experience providing psychotherapy in a private practice setting, specifically to young adults. I've worked with a range of clinical issues, such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflict, self-esteem, and trauma.

If you are searching for gentle and non judgmental help from a well-informed, caring, naturalistic counselor, you have come to the right place. I provide a client-centered, holistic approach to counseling. Current research suggests that our mind is not the only contributor to our mental health, so I prefer to approach mental health through a mind-body-spirit approach with a focus on the nervous system and gut health. I do so with the knowledge in mind that you, my client, have all the tools you need in order to balance and optimize your mental health. I am here to help you extract and learn to use them.

Our interpretation of events can be inaccurate and can hurt us. You will have no regrets tomorrow by giving yourself a chance to live today. I believe Life is always worth living. Whether you are hurting, stressed out, overwhelmed or feeling stuck emotionally because of bad relationships, dysfunctional family systems, school, work, past traumatic experiences, there is hope. Come and share your thoughts and feelings, clarify them and put things in perspective. Unearth maladaptive behavior patterns, develop coping skills, make decisions about change and get the best out of life.

Life isn't always easy! Sometimes, even the strongest people amongst us need a little bit of help to work through some of life's more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, difficult life transitions, trauma, or any other issue, you should know that there is hope for a better tomorrow. I view my role as the therapist as being a conduit of light that gently guides you to discover a life fully lived --- with more happiness, purpose, and passion.

My job, as your therapist, is to help you identify your own internal strengths and external resources. We will work together as a team to explore past trauma and positive memories, present sources of stress and joy, and your hopes and fears about the future.

My passion is in working collaboratively with my clients to help them overcome anxiety and panic, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, relationship problems, grief and loss, problems with motivation, medically unexplained symptoms, and inattention. I enjoy helping people develop self-compassion and live more authentically so they can go from surviving to thriving. I integrate evidence-based techniques into treatment that I tailor to meet the unique needs of each individual with whom I work. I am able to provide services remotely to clients physically located in Maryland, Washington D.C., and Virginia.

Life comes with many complex challenges. We often feel alone, inadequate and challenged to be fully authentic with those we love. Sometimes we lack the necessary support, or the people we look to for help are hurting us. Mental health is strongly influenced by our ability to get our needs met. Psychotherapy is a process where we take a close look at your needs, including the thoughts and feelings you have when you feel stuck. By identifying, fleshing out and contextualizing your reactions, we gain a deeper and nuanced understanding of you. This process will help you find freedom of choice and greater fulfillment.

Have you been experiencing increased anxiety, depression, fear or loneliness? Are you struggling with emotions and behaviors you would like to change? As humans, we need connections to others for encouragement, especially when we are suffering from the unexpected challenges this world brings. With support and feedback we can find meaning and purpose even through painful events. I combine Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, DBT, to provide a safe, confidential environment where you are free to explore, empower yourself and develop into the person you want to be.

Service areas: (Maryland, Washington, DC, Texas, Arizona, Louisiana and Mississippi) What is your view of life? We all face challenges which can become a pathway to goal achievement as we gain a better understanding of ourselves and our capacity to have a fulfilling life.

Hello and welcome! Sometimes our lives are stable; however, there are times where we are suddenly confronted with traumatic experiences or losses, such as health problems (dx. of cancer or terminal illnesses), the death of a loved one, separation of the family, loss of work, problems with our children, or academic struggles. These situations can make us feel unsure of our own capacities and emotional strengths which can lead to increased vulnerability, and can cause us to start experiencing high levels of depression and anxiety, or other emotional pain/fears.
