Blue Cross Therapists in Silver Spring, MD

Are you ready to experience more joy and connection in your life? Do you want to tap into your resilience and live the life you imagine? I work with individuals, kids, and families to build their connection, joy and resilience.

My practice is a mixture of traditional counseling, coaching, and social work case management. Many people come to me because of a specific issue like job stress which is causing anxiety and disrupting family life. Or maybe you are just looking to find sustained and meaningful employment in a challenging economy. Or perhaps you have been affected by our current political climate and need someone to help process your feelings.Whether you fit into these catagories or related mental health issues, I would like to hear from you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in treating adults and adolescents who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, relationships issues, life transitions and other disorders. My approach to counseling begins with fostering an open and safe relationship in a nurturing environment that promotes healing, growth and insight. I collaborate with each client to identify, set and achieve goals to address challenges and concerns.

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.

Navigating life’s obstacles can be overwhelming. I believe that therapy is a safe place to grow, learn and achieve shared goals using an eclectic mix of modalities to meet each of your unique needs.

I believe that when problems surface, people do the best they can to cope. Therapy provides a way to increase our coping skills and can give us a sense of relief. With my empathetic style and collaborative problem-solving approach, I can help you create the kind of life you have always imagined for yourself. I seek to empower people with the tools and skills that they need to understand, confront, cope with and manage their life stressors. You'll gain important skills to cope with stress, manage troublesome feelings and improve relationships.

In a non-judgemental, respectful atmosphere I accompany people along their journey to living richer, more meaningful life. I encourage people to broaden their awareness into their thoughts, feelings, reactions and behaviors to identify strengths and whats working and challenges and how they are getting in the way. Recognizing the the mind-body-spirit connection, understanding healthy and antiquated defenses and increasing capacity for feeling a greater range of emotions at a deeper level is an important focus of the psychotherapy process. Identifying feelings, understanding reactions and learning better, more effective means of communicating with others is integral as well.

Perhaps kindness, attentive listening, and collaboration are the most important elements I can bring to you in my comfortable therapy room. My goal as a therapist is to provide you with a respectful environment where you can talk through what is causing you difficulties in your life. We will work hard together to reduce the burden of the problem or problems that are bothering you, so that you will feel more free to live a happier life that is better connected to your hopes, dreams, and aspirations for the future.
