Bisexual Therapists in Silver Spring, MD

If you are exploring your identity, making a transition, or coping with negative moods or experiences that you can't change on your own, it is a brave and impressive decision to seek therapy. My years of experience have allowed me to witness the power, hope, and change that can come through therapy that creates a safe, warm, and confidential environment for growth. I provide individuals and couples therapy that focuses on strengths, empowerment, relational change, and healthy strategies for coping with oppression and trauma.

Individuals frequently find themselves feeling stuck: in seemingly repeating patterns, with symptoms of anxiety and depression, or with pain from the past. Whether you are struggling in your connection with yourself and others, in your relationship with food and your body, or in your processing of past trauma and hurt, I believe that a warm and collaborative therapeutic relationship can facilitate healing, growth, and change.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns? Do you want to explore yourself in a deeper way? Through therapy, I will help you identify patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and work with you towards making meaningful changes. By learning to respond to your thoughts and feelings in a new way, you will experience less suffering. We will also focus on how your emotions are experienced within the body, as these felt sensations are often overlooked sources of useful information.

Life is really hard sometimes. I can imagine that you are here because you are ready to get rid of the barriers standing in the way of you being your best self. Maybe you have found yourself in a funk that feels hard to get out of or have lost motivation to do things you once enjoyed. It may be that you feel you can't get out of your head or overwhelmed by everything going on in your life or in the world. Maybe you feel isolated or misunderstood. Perhaps you feel scattered or are having trouble focusing on what's important. I am glad you are here, and I believe I can help.

For over 30 years, I've worked with a wide range of clients to help them identify, understand and address the causes of their distress. Together, we explore the themes and patterns in your life, past and present, that may be interfering with your personal satisfaction and growth. We work to expand your perspective, increase understanding of yourself and your relationships, enhance and develop more effective coping strategies and communication skills. I believe that therapy is most effective in an atmosphere of safety, empathy and collaboration and I strive to foster that through active engagement, openness and flexibility.
