Out of Network Therapists in Chevy Chase, MD

Life comes with many complex challenges. Sometimes we feel alone or inadequate and experience difficulty being fully authentic with others. Often, we lack the necessary support, or open ourselves up to being hurt by others. Mental health is strongly influenced by our ability to get our needs met. Psychotherapy is a process where we take a close look at your needs, including the thoughts and feelings you have when you feel stuck. By identifying, fleshing out and contextualizing your reactions, we gain a deeper and nuanced understanding of you. This process will help you find freedom of choice and greater fulfillment.

I work with women who despite all outward appearances of success are struggling internally. Some constantly compare other people’s achievements to their own perceived failures. Some struggle to feel confident and capable in the workplace. Some feel disconnected from and misunderstood by their loved ones. Some have a hard time letting go of old patterns that no longer serve them and may, in fact, have adverse impacts. Some find it challenging to love themselves despite their struggles and flaws. Some discover that their normal coping strategies aren’t working anymore and this affects their behavior/ interactions with others.

When I see a new patient for the first time, I try to assess what he or she wants from life or from what each person is struggling. I do this with individuals or parents so together so we can determine what is best for him or her or their child at the current time. Sometimes people want to work on one problem and then develop a curiosity about how their minds work. Often in those situations, I work more intensely and more frequency to search for what is meaning to people and how they wants to navigate in the world in a freer way.

We can work together to reduce your stress.
