ADHD Therapists in Frederick, MD

I work with adolescents and adults who are seeking counseling for a variety of reasons, such as healing from trauma, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, life transitions/adjustment, relationship issues, suicidal ideation and self-harm, LGBTQ+ issues, behavioral issues, emotional dysregulation, self-esteem, and self-exploration.
I work primarily from a person-centered approach while also relying heavily on experiential and mindfulness based interventions. I also specialize in trauma and I'm trained in EMDR. No therapy approach is one size fits all, so I enjoy working together with clients to find what works best for them and helps them to feel the most supported.

There are times in life when our experiences can leave us feeling isolated, anxious, unloved, and questioning whether we are “good enough”. We may struggle to trust others or the world around us; doubting, hating, hurting or numbing ourselves in an attempt to alleviate pain. As a therapist , my goal is to help each of my clients feel as comfortable and safe as possible, in a trusting, and supportive environment.

Many of my clients are trying to push through stress, anxiety, burnout, ADHD, intrusive negative thoughts or big life transitions.
My approach is trauma-informed and mind-body based — which means we talk things through, but we also pay close attention to what’s happening in your whole system. That can include tuning into physical sensations, noticing patterns, and working with tools like EMDR to help process tough experiences and shift old emotional stuck points.

Society is confusing. You're neurodivergent and/or queer trying to figure out how to exist while a part of a world that pushes for "one size fits all." You're torn between wanting to "get it right" and rejecting the rigid boxes dominant culture wants you in. People's reactions make you question if you did the right thing when placing boundaries or making a request. Or... You're a parent trying to determine what's best for your child. They have big feelings and behaviors. Where do you start? You've learned from "experts" which emotions are correct at certain times which doesn't sit quite right when helping your kid.

And you're not broken.
