Therapists in Olney, MD

Choosing the right therapist is the first step, and committing to making impactful changes is within your power. I will provide a non-judgemental atmosphere where you can find opportunites to breathe, reflect and problem solve. I specialize in therapeutic work with individuals, adults, older adolescents, and parents. My 17 years of experience as a high school counselor at an Independent School has given me necessary insights into the lives of emerging adults and those who parent them.

Our mission at Maryland Therapy Collective is to provide trauma-informed, evidence-based, inclusive, and client-centered treatment to help our clients live healthier and more fulfilling lives. We incorporate this approach by tailoring treatment to each client’s individual needs. We believe that our clients have the power to make the changes they want in their lives, and we are here to help guide and support them through that process.

Therapy is a vessel for a client to reach and achieve their personal goals. I strongly believe that everyone has the ability to create, implement, and achieve their goals with the help and assistance of their therapist. I've worked in a variety of settings, including residential rehabilitation programs supporting individuals living with chronic mental illness, outpatient mental health clinics and social/emotional support groups for transition aged youth and young adults.

For me, therapy is all about empowerment. Whether you have a difficult decision to make, a boundary to uphold, or feel the need to change patterns in your daily life, my goal is to walk along side you as you explore not only what shapes the present, but how the future can be different. In our work, I will take a relational approach that mixes honesty and empathy to help you reach the goals that you are striving towards.

I believe in the relationship between therapist & the people on their journey in therapy as a pivotal & paramount role in the therapeutic process. The right match is critical for continuing therapy & having a rewarding & fulfilling experience. I believe in a strengths based, supportive approach with an integrative & humanistic perspective while looking at the whole person as each area of life influences our mental health & daily functioning. It is my privilege to bear witness & walk with the people I serve while on their journey. Your story matters. I believe all of us are significant & what happens to you is unique & important.

you are the one who keeps strong for everyone else, you make everything seem 'okay' with your incredible sense of humor despite the pain. maybe you have learned to keep safe by people pleasing or caretaking, yet you feel alone or like there are parts of you no one understands. you are intelligent, wise, creative, and social justice oriented. you recognize that trauma occurs on the personal and systemic levels, and you want to heal from your pain and understand the parts of your identity that hold privilege. the world needs your revolutionary mindset, you need a space to reckon with your personal, systemic, and ancestral trauma.

Grief is a deep sorrow we experience after we are faced with losses in our lives. These losses can be because of someone we knew and loved, or a life transition. These losses can be expected, such as a loved one dying from an illness, or sudden, such as someone dying by suicide. Regardless of the reasons for the grief, everybody grieves differently. It is important to also remember that loss and grief are not only the result of a death. Many people grieve due life changes such as the loss of a job, a marriage etc..

Therapy is a collaborative process. I understand there are many times in our lives when we need more support to help with a transition, a loss, a relationship, or a child. My approach is to assist you in gaining insight and awareness around issues that impact you in your life. I focus on the development of coping strategies, improving communication skills, and resolving conflict related to work, family, and in relationships. It is my belief that therapy in a safe, supportive, respectful environment can empower someone to find their voice and regain balance.

Children, adolescents and young adults sometimes experience stress related to school, activities, challenges at home, or periods of transition. These stressors may lead to mood swings, changes in behavior and difficulty expressing emotions and thoughts. My role as a therapist is to help kids and young adults cope with stress and learn strategies to maintain an emotionally balanced life. I provide a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and then work with individuals and families to develop an individualized treatment plan that draws from the client's existing strengths. I utilize evidence-based treatment primarily drawing from CBT.

I have been working as a licensed therapist since 2016, but have been working with people for over 13 years. I have experience working with a diverse group of clients, with a wide range of treatment needs. Facing life’s difficulties can be overwhelming. I am here to provide a confidential environment where therapy is a collaborative process. It is my goal to help my clients gain the necessary tools to aid in healing and a positive mindset. It is my belief that mental health and physical health work hand-in-hand with neither one more important than the other.

I believe that there is no "perfect therapy" for everyone. I feel that using an eclectic approach drawing from different therapeutic approaches based on the needs of the individuals is the best way to help them through whatever is facing them at that moment.I believe that therapy is fluid not straight forward. I work with each individual by meeting them where they are and helping guide them in the direction they want to go based upon what they are sharing in sessions. No one knows your issues or how to fix them better than you do; I just want to help you along your journey to healing.
