Asperger's Syndrome Therapists in Bethesda, MD

I am trained in a psychodynamic and relational approach that includes the use of play therapy, art, music, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. I have spent the last 20 years working clinically with children and adolescents in school settings in Baltimore City, Montgomery County and Prince Georges County. I currently combine my work as a school counselor in a special education facility with private practice.

I am committed to helping individuals and families. I work collaboratively with clients from a strengths-based approach to empower them and draw out their strengths, so they can grow psychologically, have fulfilling relationships, and reach their potential. I provide a safe, nurturing, supportive, non-judgmental and respectful positive therapeutic environment while also providing structure and focus to identify and achieve goals that foster growth and change.

Clients seeking treatment from me find that their symptoms relate to behavior addiction, cultural identity, developmental issues, family dynamic issues, and cognitive/affective limitations. Typically, at the epicenter of these issues is regarding information processes within interpersonal dynamics online and offline. Dependent on the frequency, intensity and duration of individual symptoms, my clients find strength within cognitive-behavioral therapy, humanistic therapy, mindfulness-based practices, and psychodynamic based treatment plans.

I strive to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space for my clients to feel safe and understood. I specialize in treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, self-injury and other self-sabotaging behaviors. I work with teens and adults looking to develop a better understanding of their dysfunctional patterns in order to create effective and lasting change.
