Therapists in North Bethesda, MD

Life’s travels, on and off road, tests our endurance to navigate its difficulties. If you found yourself feeling lost, stressed, out of control, anxious or depressed by the difficulties in life, I am here to help. I work with individuals who suffer from trauma, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, sexual dissatisfaction/dysfunction and other mental/behavioral health challenges. Through therapy, you'll create and maintain positive changes in daily life. We will work together towards your goals so you can be the self that you want to be and live the life that is meaningful and fulfill.

Are you tired of fighting with your partner constantly without finding a path to move forward? Are you from a culture that is different from your partner's culture? Do you feel like the intimacy and passion have escaped your relationship? Your relationship doesn't have to suffer through those conflicts in the dark, nor does it have to be a battleground for your differences; it can be a rich soil for meeting your unmet needs. Therapy is the right place for you and your partner to explore complex emotions. If you are not sure what you are experiencing, therapy also allows you to get closer to the unknown.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the DC (Maryland) area. My focus is to meet my clients where they are, whether they've been in therapy before or are seeking it for the first time.

As humans, we experience pain, loss, or difficulties in our lives as individuals and in our family relationships. We make our best efforts to cope, adapt or resolve these trying experiences on our own. But sometimes, we get stuck or they are too great to endure alone. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a safe place, free of judgement, invested in exploring, healing, and growing. Together, we can work on the interpersonal, emotional, psychological, and spiritual issues that hinder you and your relationships from reaching full potential.

Accepting New Clients! Is your mind spinning with worries and endless "to-do" lists? Are you critical of yourself and you never feel good enough? If you have lost touch with who you really are or what you really want out of life, counseling can help you find yourself. If you are someone who usually takes care of everyone else, let me help you start taking care of yourself as well. My clients are regular, everyday women who struggle with life's overwhelming issues: anxiety, depression, relationship issues, low self esteem, difficulty being assertive, past trauma, insecurities, people pleasing and difficult life transitions.

Our life experiences, particularly our early relationships, shape how we view ourselves and others and navigate relationships. We might be grateful for some experiences that helped you manage your life and relationships well. But some experiences may be painful and challenging to process, understand, and come to terms with. As a result, we have learned to compensate for these difficult life experiences and have developed ways of living that caused us to be stuck in patterns that may have resulted in us feeling depressed, anxious, and lonely and having difficulties with forming supportive relationships.

Ours is a highly regarded group of experienced, compassionate, skilled therapists working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. Washingtonian and Washington Parent magazines cited us as top therapists in the DMV area. We collaborate with our clients to address emotional, family, and relationship concerns.

Do you feel overwhelmed and drained with anxious thoughts, depression, confusion about your identity, loss and grief? Or perhaps you feel stuck, and hopeless in your intimate and family relationships? Many times, we feel we are stuck, and we feel as though there were no other options left for us. I am here to tell you there is always a choice and hope. And I am here to meet you where you are and work alongside you collaboratively to shed new light on the challenges you face and discover new and effective solutions.

Accepting New Clients! Perhaps you are experiencing more anxiety or depression and just want to feel better. Or may be or you want to work on improving your relationships, argue less and connect more. I work with individuals and couples who want to change and grow. I can offer you support, tools and understanding to help you feel better yourself and improve your relationships, communication issues or difficulties with parenting styles. I can also help guide you through life transitions and processing trauma and grief. I will listen to your specific situation and tailor my approach and recommendations to meet your needs.

Do you struggle to form deep and meaningful relationships in your life? Are you struggling with issues that are keeping you stuck in life? I believe the key to our wholeness is to be aligned within. Our pain and losses can hinder us from moving forward and connecting emotionally within and with others. We may become numb, lose zest, feel inauthentic, hopeless, and dissatisfied with life.

Empathy, warmth, and compassion are personal attributes that I bring to my role as a clinical psychologist. My extensive training in psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, couples, and family therapies allows me to draw upon an integrative psychotherapeutic framework in helping clients navigate life stressors. I guide clients in fostering a better understanding of self, relationships, and the context in which they live.

I work with clients who are motivated to free themselves from past traumas. You have an idea of where you want to be, but you realize that it is extremely hard to get there on your own given the lack of inner strengths, skill set or external support. It is not uncommon that we develop "learned helplessness" in repeated experiences of stress. Yet, the secret of "unstuck" is in understanding how human brain learns new things (i.e., moving beyond the past). My work with many clients has proved that a combination of trauma-informed approaches has been extremely effective in healing traumatized brains.
