Interpersonal Therapists in Silver Spring, MD

I am an extensively trained and culturally-competent Marriage and Family Therapist. For the past 15 years, I have worked with individuals facing emotional, mental health challenges as well as psycho social stressors. I am highly committed to assisting my client population reach their desired goals. I believe in the value of the collaborative process, when attempting to successfully work through relationship and socialization struggles, traumas, phobias and unhealthy learned behaviors.

'What worries you, masters you.' Do worries, stress and fears cause imbalance in your life? I work with individual clients to identify and reframe core beliefs and assumptions, and shift challenging patterns and behaviors. 'Love does not dominate; it cultivates.' Relationships require openness, curiosity, and trust. Couples counseling provides a nonjudgmental, distraction-free space to share and listen. Clients explore challenges, identify strengths, and mutually gain deeper understanding of themselves and the relationship. Couples therapy is self-pay only. I am licensed to serve clients living in Maryland and Virginia.

My focus in therapy is to meet clients where they are and help them get to where they want to be. I believe this begins with providing a supportive and trusting relationship where clients feel comfortable to share and explore their experiences. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to help them navigate through challenges and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their strengths.

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.
