Elders (65+) Therapists in Bethesda, MD

I am Board Certified in both Clinical and Neuropsychology, and my practice has evolved over the years to a primary focus on evaluations. Psychoeducational evaluations focus on academic skills and functioning, with ADD/ADHD, Learning Disabilities, and Autism Spectrum Disorders being of particular concern. These evaluations often lead to accommodations in schools and colleges and on standardized admissions tests. Neuropsychological evaluations examine the impact of psychiatric and neurological disorders on cognitive and emotional functioning. Cogscreen--AE evaluations are conducted to screen pilots and air traffic controllers.

I am a clinical psychologist with a geriatrics specialty, meaning I have advanced, specialized training in addressing the mental health needs of adults aged 60 and older. I primarily assist clients in coping with cognitive changes (e.g., a dementia diagnosis), life transitions, depression, anxiety, caregiver strain, trauma (e.g., Post-Traumatic Stress, Military Sexual Trauma), and grief/ bereavement. I also conduct cognitive/neuropsychological assessments. Clients feel comfortable with me because of my competency level in treating the unique needs of older adults.

Esteemed neurologist Viktor Frankl once said, "When we are no longer able to change a situation we are challenged to change ourselves." His words resonate with my approach to counseling which is insight oriented & geared towards promoting personal awareness, resilience & growth.

I hold state licensure in both Maryland & Virginia as well as national board certifications including NCC & CCMHC. I am also a registered telehealth provider in the state of Florida.

If you have concerns, worries or anxieties or feel overwhelmed sometimes, we can look at these together and work toward resolution in a relationship of trust, empathy, insight and honesty.

We work together on improving communication to empower you to be more successful.

If you struggle with depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, or interpersonal issues, I can help. For many years I have been working with adolescents, adults, seniors , and families. I listen carefully and compassionately to your special needs, and consider them in the context of your experience and present situation—a holistic approach that recognizes both your needs and their roots. Often these roots are cultural, a fact I know because my own life spans several cultures. I am committed to empowering those affected by trauma and other adverse life experiences.

It has long been my view that the first step in healing and working through your issues is feeling understood. Although, there are a number of techniques that we can employ together for growth and change, my first goal is to understand you, your issues, and where you're coming from. Once understanding has progressed, we can adopt a plan that takes you as a whole person into consideration. I believe that different approaches work for different people and don't believe "in a one size fits all" approach to therapy. If this works for you, I look forward to hearing from you.

Welcome! I help teens and adults with all types of eating disorders, disordered eating, mood and anxiety issues, and life transitions. Given the world we live in, it can be hard sometimes to sort out "normal" attempts to be healthy and fit vs disordered patterns of eating, exercising or thoughts about food and weight. Your eating issues may have suddenly become problematic or they may have been around "forever". Either way, you deserve to get help to bring balance and flexibility back into your eating and thoughts about food and your body. Learning how to manage mood changes, anxiety and stress during life changes is key.

My practice provides psychotherapy for Eating and Mood Disorders, and cognitive remediation for memory and attentional problems.
