Preteen Therapists in Olney, MD

My approach to counseling is to be fully present, attune, and resonate with my clients by co-regulating their nervous systems in a therapeutic setting. I am trained to identify and treat the root causes of emotional triggers and associated thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. I believe mental wellness is characterized by calmness, clarity, curiosity, creativity, confidence, courage, compassion, and connectedness.

My goal is to provide trauma-informed, evidence-based, inclusive, and client-centered treatment to help clients live healthier and more fulfilling lives. I incorporate this framework by tailoring treatment to each client’s individual needs.

Youth experience a variety of transitions, challenges, and pressures. Coping with such difficulties while going to school and managing relationships is hard. Kids may show symptoms of anxiety, mood changes, behavior problems, struggles with friends, or trouble in school as a result. I want to help youth and their families get back on track. My primary approach is CBT, which focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behavior all work together and affect our mental health. Although I use treatments backed by research, I believe my relationship with my clients is the foundation of our work together.

Every person carries “stuff” on their journey through life. You know, stuff – insecurities, being bullied, tough relationships, traumatic events, or anything, really. Whether you’re carrying a lot or a little, and whether you’ve been carrying it for a week or a decade, you deserve a space where you can acknowledge the effects that weight has had on you. My goal is to provide a safe space for you to unpack your stuff, help you understand it better, and then empower you to decide where your path goes from there.

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..
