Career Counseling Therapists in Rockville, MD

TELETHERAPY Ideally, I want to create an environment that allows my clients to find their way, learn about themselves, and grow to be leaders in their treatment. The approaches I use give clients the ability to take the initiative, evaluate and then make a plan of action. Making the decision to enter into therapy is a challenge in itself. But in the end I want to meet the client where they are at and go from there. Where applicable I use Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, play therapy, career /coaching and other modalities in practice.

Reaching out takes courage. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to get through life right now, you don't have to do it alone. People in their 20's & 30's come to see me when they are feeling lost, anxious, or depressed related to life transitions and choices.

Meaningful personal growth and self-efficacy can be realized by any person, couple or family in the face of personal challenges. These can be internal (despair, depression, grief, anger, or anxiety), external (lack of supportive relationships, disharmony), and interactive (blaming, perceptions and reciprocal reactions to each other's behaviors). How well you manage to cope, survive and eventually thrive in the midst of these challenges can be aided by establishing a genuine collaboration with a competent therapist. Teletherapy makes it even easier to select and engage with a licensed counselor who fits your particular needs.

Life can be rough sometimes and asking for help is often the most difficult thing to do. I understand how difficult it is to ask for help and recognize the strength it takes to ask for it. I am a clinical social worker who can help break down the walls of confusion, fear, anxiety and anger to overcome life's daunting issues. I have 9 years of experience working with children, adolescents and families in a variety of settings. I have also worked helping people adjust to life's transitions- death of a family member, job change and relationship issues.

My approach towards counseling is to be a caring, empathic listener who objectively guides clients to understanding themselves and the origins of their problems to prevent their reoccurrence. We will work together to define your personal goals and explore how you can strengthen your resources to reach them. Some typical outcomes of therapy include improved self-confidence, greater ability to maintain mutually satisfying relationships, and even increased productivity. Clients often comment that they appreciate my calm and accepting demeanor.

Clients come to me when they are facing a challenge that they need support with. They might be wondering if there’s more to life or how they can feel more satisfaction in their lives. I can help you look at the blocks that are keeping you from reaching your goals. To do this I use a Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT) approach as well as a Solution-Focused approach. I work holistically and see individuals as part of a family or other larger system. I offer a supportive, nurturing, safe, and confidential environment in which you can explore and find solutions for what is getting in the way of the life you want to lead.

Most people would change what is making them unhappy, if they could. I feel my job is to help you become aware of the parts of yourself that are negatively impacting you.I help you look at the patterns that are making you feel stuck. We work together to understand what prevents you from attaining a better relationship with yourself and your loved ones. I believe that all humans desire to understand and to be understood. I create an environment where you can just simply be yourself.

As we move through life, we may find ourselves in moments of confusion about who we are, where we're going, and wondering if we can meet the new challenges and experiences that await us. Pursuing an education, establishing a career , dating and forming lasting relationships, ending relationships, starting a family – each new chapter in the book of our lives can be incredibly uncomfortable AND deeply exciting! But sometimes you need help avoiding the overwhelm, over-thinking, and confusion accompanying change so you can master your mind, turn desire into action, keep progress steady, and your relationships vibrant and connected.

Life events such as getting married or divorced, becoming a new parent or an empty nester, starting a new career or retiring all signal a process of change and transition. For some people, such change can create a sense of excitement and anticipation, while for others great anxiety, fear and stress. The loss of a loved one is a change that often brings feelings of deep grief and depression. Furthermore, we are navigating massive changes occurring in our society and the world that have impacted how we live, work and socialize. The resulting stress and anxiety is at an all time high.

Life can be stressful and anxiety-provoking enough without adding the challenges and complications of living and career transitions, loss and grief, betrayal, childhood trauma, ADHD and depression, parenting and relationship struggles, insomnia, medical issues or other concerns it can throw our way. Asking for help can be hard, and it also can be the single most important thing you can do to face your struggles head on and start viewing them from a different perspective. My clients are often looking for a safe, open space where they can share their thoughts and worries and know they will be met with understanding, empathy & support
