Family Systems Therapists in 20010

I am a clinical social worker, practicing since 1993, and have accumulated a breadth of professional experience working with children, adolescents, and adults through various stages of life. My approach is warm, engaging, collaborative and positive, with an initial goal of developing a trusting and supportive connection. Together, we will then create a treatment strategy that is tailored to you. Regardless of the approach, I strive to create a safe space that invites honesty, insight, creativity and even humor. If you are interested in exploring the possibility of therapy, I welcome the opportunity to offer my assistance.

I have been working with young to mid career professionals since 2012. Since then, I have become a therapist that Gen X, Y, and Z clients seek out to address various types of life challenges. I enjoy providing support and encouragement to people who are facing life stage transitions and change with all of the stress, anxiety, as well as the excitement that these events may bring. My training is in family therapy and I work within the frameworks of family systems, attachment theory, as well as grief/loss and living with loss.

I've worked with a variety of populations including adults, elderly, and children, and presenting issues including depression, bipolar disorder, severe mental illness, and trauma. My experience includes inpatient, community-based, school, and outpatient settings. I believe each individual has the power to change, and it is my privilege to work through life's challenges together with you.

You can feel fulfilled in all aspects of your life!

Individuals who seek therapy are brave. They are acknowledging their natural need for support and taking an emotional risk. This is why I seek to facilitate a warm and supportive environment for my clients, as they ease into the therapeutic process. I conduct individual, couples, and family therapy.

In my work with individuals and couples, I support clients through stressors that arise, and assist them in tapping into their internal resources and self-discovery to navigate through these challenging times. I create a safe and supportive environment to work with clients to heal relational wounds, foster understanding, create closeness, and support each other through change and growth.

**Currently accepting adult teletherapy clients** Sometimes, the idea of meeting a new therapist can be a daunting, whether or not it's a person's first time. I do my best to ensure that my office is a welcoming and judgment-free space where clients can feel comfortable sharing about their lives and difficulties. I believe in a person's capacity to heal and grow, and I believe that my role is to facilitate this experience in a way that is unique to each client's personality and strengths.

I am only taking telehealth appointments. I use a strengths-based, solution-focused approach in working with children, families and adults. I have more than 20 years of experience in school, community and private practice settings throughout DC and New York City. I specialize in family work, grief and loss, anxiety, panic and depression, and behavioral problems. I also help clients work through life changes and achieving their goals.

Making the choice to engage in a therapeutic relationship is sometimes difficult; but making this decision is the most courageous step in beginning the change process. In a warm, professional and safe environment, I help you learn to handle your emotional or psychological pain with compassion and teach you the necessary skills to make positive change in your life.

I am passionate about working with young children and their families who are experiencing challenges with academics, parenting, separation and divorce, as well as regulatory and behavioral issues. I provide psychological, developmental, and admissions testing. I also conduct play therapy, family therapy, parent guidance, divorce mediation, as well as school consultations. Early intervention and prevention as well as parental involvement is essential and paramount for optimal and favorable treatment outcomes.

I will work with you to illuminate the meaning of your experience and help you practice greater self-acceptance. Therapy goals/counseling/education will be tailored to your unique needs. I may show you how to change your behavior by using Mindfulness/changing your thoughts, recovery/harm reduction tools to address substance use, guidance/education/resources for exploring sexual orientation/gender identity/transitioning/coming out, provide couples/individual work for better communication in relationships, and/or I can apply EMDR/somatic-based approaches for trauma/anxiety and even substance using/behavioral urges.

Therapy is a choice that may allow for insight, personal awareness and change. Therapy allows you to increase self-awareness so that you can be accountable for you thoughts, feelings, and actions and learn to avoid triggering situations, unhelpful patterns of behavior and overcome challenges you are facing. I firmly believe in a person's potential for growth by integrating aspects of their past into the present in an effort to heal. As you learn to externalize parts of your self, it is my hope that you become more comfortable with vulnerability and present in your daily life.

Finding your true, authentic self can be daunting. You may feel stuck, confused, or overwhelmed by life experiences. Together we can discover the motivations, tools, and skills which will allow you to be content, more-productive, and less anxious. In a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space, you and I can explore your patterns of thinking and feeling, and the meanings behind them. We will remove obstacles which get in your way. Client's often tell me that my warm, non-judgmental approach and careful listening help them to feel safe, freeing them to understand themselves in ways they've never considered.

Psychotherapy is a process of finding meaning in life and developing a sense of purpose. I believe that people can reach their full potential within a safe, empathic and confidential therapeutic relationship. I am a seasoned clinician with 35 years in the field, bringing a wealth of experience and expertise to the work. My style is interactive and collaborative. My task is to work with you to change negative beliefs and behaviors that are preventing you from enjoying a life of personal satisfaction and fulfillment.

I am temporarily accepting additional clients who genuinely want to transform their life into something better. Is that you? I work with my clients in Spanish because it was the language that shaped our perceptions of the world and the people we lived with at an early age. Even if you grew up bilingual, Spanish was the language your mother and father used. Whether we are immigrants or were born in the United States, it is our ancestral Latino language that contains the roots of our current experience. It also contains the keys to breaking through barriers we are currently experiencing with our health, wealth, and relationships.

I am passionate about helping others learn and leverage their strengths and increase self-esteem. I enjoy working with clients who have ADHD or neurodiverse; have difficulty with regulating emotions and or are looking to grow their toolbox of coping skills; are sober-curious/struggling with chemical dependency (including alcohol and marijuana use) or are active in maintaining long-term recovery and/or are wondering how to cultivate better work/life balance (which may include learning how to advocate for workplace accommodations, taking time out to just BE and schedule recharge time into hectic days).

I am a clinical psychologist with The Kingsbury Wellness & Learning Group, a nonprofit dedicated to increasing access to high quality psychotherapy and neuropsychological testing services to families in the DMV area. I help kids with big feelings improve their emotional awareness and advocate for their needs so that they can be more engaged both academically and socially. I also work with adults, and my work focuses on processing challenges related to parenting and life transitions so that they can find balance in their career and home lives.
