Alcohol Use Therapists in Rockville, MD

“Treat people as if they were, what they should be, and you will help them become what they are capable of becoming.” ~Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe. At times, life does not go the way we expect. Guidance and support are often needed in working through situations. I see my work with individuals as a relationship that helps them build, strengthen, and navigate through various issues in life.

We work with individuals, couples, families, and children. We specialize in addiction, eating disorders, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, family conflict and grief. Our greatest intention is to help clients understand themselves better and improve their quality of life and relationships. We cater our approach to each client, responding to their own unique problems and personality style. This is not a "one-size-fits-all" practice.

Are you feeling stuck? Are you avoiding making changes in your life because of fear of the unknown? In my practice I will help you gain insight into behavioral and cognitive patterns to help you challenge self-destructive patterns and work towards your ideal self.

I love working with couples and individuals with difficulty in romantic relationships (i.e. sexual issues, communication, infidelity, divorce), adults who come from dysfunctional childhoods, as well as those with anxiety, impulsivity, and addiction. I also enjoy working with those in non-traditional romantic relationships (i.e. ethically non-monogamous, polyamorous). I am LGBTQIA- affirming and sex positive. I work best with clients who are engaged, thoughtful, and motivated for change. My style is empathic and direct, with a sense of humor. I believe strongly in the therapeutic alliance and the client/therapist fit.

Major transitions, family issues, excessive worry, or feelings of being stuck are hurdles we may face at some point on our life's journey. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to support you or your loved ones through these issues and help you navigate life's challenges. My goal is to form a collaborative relationship with my clients so that we can explore the root of issues, identify barriers, and create pathways to help you move forward.

Do you find yourself worrying a lot or feel overwhelmed by your thoughts and emotions that you become stuck and stagnant? Do you put a lot of pressure on yourself that you feel like a failure or are failing? Do you feel like parts of life are falling apart and no one understands? Well life can be overwhelming and leave you with so much uncertainty about ourselves, relationships, career, parenthood, and life situations that we become depressed, anxious, stressed out, and stuck about our next move.

Everyone struggles with difficulties in their life. Working with a therapist provides a safe environment to face these issues directly and learn healthier coping skills. I believe that the client-therapist relationship is of the utmost importance in the therapeutic process and is an important predictor of the success of therapy. I enjoy helping clients to achieve their fullest potential through the development of realistic and measurable goals for therapy. I have 16 years of experience working with adults and adolescents and have targeted working with those individuals 18 years and older.

When individuals experience anxiety, depression, stress, relational discord, substance abuse issues and trauma, they tend to seek a therapist they can trust, feel safe speaking with and a therapist they can relate to. As a therapist I can assure you that I bring personal experience, education, knowledge and most of all passion to your sessions with one main goal in mind: to have you live the life you hope to live. I bring my 27+ years of Yoga and Meditation to any therapy sessions you so desire. I incorporate mind-body interventions to assist clients in discovering their inner strengths as they align with mind, body and spirit.

I love working with teens and adults who are exhausted from constantly thinking about food and their body, hate what they see when they look in the mirror, and are sick and tired of feeling trapped by an eating disorder.

I have extensive experience working with clients in a variety of clinical settings, and I believe Telehealth is an important tool to meet clients where they are, in safe place, and without judgement. I utilize multiple therapeutic approaches in my practice including frameworks from DBT, CBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, mind-body connection, holistic, systems focused, trauma informed, and person-centered modalities. During the initial session, we will review your therapeutic history and any experiences, symptoms, and environments that present conflict or challenge. From there we will forge a path forward.

I believe that the behaviors and thought patterns that are identified as symptoms were usually adopted or developed in an effort to solve some problem or serve some purpose. Unfortunately, all too often they have either outlived their usefulness or carry consequences that render them ineffective or harmful.
