My goal is to help clients live a full and meaningful life by coping well with stress. I integrate a flexible, person-centered approach with evidence-based practices. Specifically, I collaboratively and non-judgmentally work with clients to identify values and strengths. Together, we explore how to “open up” to difficult thoughts and emotions in order to create a more satisfying life. I use evidence-based therapies and skills, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), as well as mindfulness/relaxation-based and trauma-informed approaches.

We provide a therapeutic atmosphere for individual, child, group and family therapy. We believe in encouraging personal, relationship and spiritual growth. Clients who work with us report experiencing greater levels of personal growth and alleviation of symptoms as they increase in self understanding and self-compassion. Our areas of specialty include grief counseling, anxiety/depression, premarital and faith-based therapy. We also provide wellness Spa Services in both Lanham and Wheaton MD. Book with us today!

As your therapist, I can provide you with a dedicated space to explore and process your emotions, helping you gain clarity, understanding, and relief. By working through challenges, you can experience increased emotional resilience, improved self-regulation, and a greater sense of inner peace. Through therapy, I will help you develop and refine effective coping strategies to navigate life's stressors. Together, we will identify healthier ways of managing difficult emotions, handling conflicts, and responding to challenging situations.

I help people to feel more engaged and fulfilled in their lives. I will help you to understand and change unhealthy patterns of behaving that you have developed because that is how you've always done things. I am particularly interested in the intergenerational transmission of trauma that can accompany those that immigrate from other countries, and how our social and cultural milieus create systems that contribute to a feeling of otherness.

Throughout my career, I have worked with clients from childhood to early adulthood, in addition to couples and families who have struggled with depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, self-harm, stress, grief, behavioral issues, and relationship issues. I have a particular interest in helping clients navigate life transitions, such as identity searching, career changes, and loss, and helping clients find meaning and purpose in their lives. I work to create a safe and supportive space where people can explore their feelings, thoughts, and experiences without fear of judgment. I will help you to find your path forward.

People enter therapy for a variety of different reasons. You may be going through a difficult transition or grappling with life, relationship or work issues. You may be struggling with a mental health concern. You may be looking to promote personal growth or increase your own sense of well being. Whatever the reason may be, I can offer a confidential and safe environment to gain insight into your emotions and behaviors and take steps towards positive change in your life.
