I am a cognitive-behavioral therapist who is the founder and clinical director of Wondrous Heights Counseling (WHC). I have offices located in both Chevy Chase and Gaithersburg MD. I specialize in working with children and adults who are dealing with grief, loss, and difficult transitions. I also assist clients who struggle with anxiety and depression. Clients appreciate my supportive and non-judgmental approach to therapy.
I offer a non-judgemental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. Clients appreciate my positive and encouraging approach to therapy.
I provide a comfortable and safe space for clients to be themselves. Feel free to reach out me by either email or phone to set up an appointment.
