Anger Management Therapists in Chevy Chase, MD
Because no two patients are alike, therapy should be tailored to each patient, rather than trying to treat everyone with the same theoretical approach. I believe that a therapist’s job is to guide the patient as they learn to change the behaviors and thinking styles that may have once been helpful, but are now getting in their way. Most importantly, I believe it is a therapist's job to teach their patients the skills necessary to eventually function independent of their therapist, allowing them to eventually leave therapy instead of being stuck with having weekly sessions for the rest of their lives!

Life happens to all of us and we usually deal with it, but sometimes things get challenging and we cannot go it alone - we need "someone" to walk with us. So, whether you are a parent trying to manage your child’s behavior or support your child in school; an individual seeking personal development or dealing with mental illness; or a family going through transition, I want to be your "someone".

You're a high performer in big law, government work, consulting, etc. used to excelling under pressure. Over time, the weight feels different; little things now spark self-blame or sadness you can't quite shake. Your mind won't quiet down with looping thoughts, sleepless nights, a creeping sense you're failing while everyone else has it together. You're exhausted from holding it all together, and it's starting to cost you focus, confidence, and joy. You don't need to keep white-knuckling through this and fall into burnout.

You appear to have it all together but feel disconnected from yourself and loved ones. You're the parent who loves deeply but struggles to connect, the professional succeeding while battling anxiety, the young adult overwhelmed by life's pressures. Your relationships feel transactional, your achievements feel hollow, and you're exhausted from perfectionism. You want authentic connection but don't know how to stop performing. You need someone who understands that looking successful and feeling fulfilled are completely different things.

I believe it shows courage to seek out therapy, especially couples and family therapy. You may be struggling with serious emotional issues, deep personal crises, relationship distress, or a sense of distance with your child or adolescent. Many couples I work with have lost a sense of connection and/or find themselves hurting each other over and over again. Many individuals I work with simply want to get more from their lives - more love, joy, and connection. I collaborate with you to create a therapy environment that is warm, safe, supportive, challenging when needed, and authentic.

In my practice, I work with a diverse clientele: children, adolescents and adults from all backgrounds. My approach is practical and conversational as we explore together the stressors of daily living, relationship concerns, parenting issues, and in some instances, severe psychiatric disorders. Often, clients seek short-term interventions, though for some difficulties therapy continues for an extended period. I allow my clients to set the agenda for our work together and decide what sort of help is needed.
