Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Clinical Supervisor, able to see clients in MD, DC, and VA. I have over a decade of experience providing individual, couples, and group therapy in the private practice setting. I specialize in working with issues around reproductive mental health, including: infertility & IVF, pregnancy/perinatal loss, NICU trauma, and navigating the postpartum period. These issues are important to me professionally as a therapist and personally as an IVF and NICU mom. I also work with clients dealing with other presenting concerns, including self-esteem issues, early childhood trauma, and anxiety.

It's hard to know how to choose a counselor. I'm happy to meet for an hour or two at no charge to make sure it is a good match. Be aware that I accept Maryland and Federal Workers' Compensation. It starts with feeling at ease with someone, and feeling understood. I'm willing to be helpful for people who struggle with addiction, but I may need people to see an additional counselor for more focused help on this. One's thinking and beliefs are important, and certainly there is an emotional component. I find that people feel a lot better when they feel their lives are moving forward.

“I don't feel cared for.” “When I bring up the ‘hard stuff,’ I’m met with silence." “Whatever I give is never enough.” “We keep having the same fights.” “Why do I feel so alone?” If these statements resonate with you, I'm glad you've landed on my page. Navigating these struggles alone can be overwhelming. In couples therapy, I can offer effective and compassionate help for your relationship, tailored to meet the needs of your situation. Working together, we can develop the skills you need to move away from a cycle of conflict and frustration and move towards greater connection, communication, and intimacy.

As a foreign-born immigrant from Bulgaria, I work especially well with people from collectivistic cultures like my own. If you desire a transformation in your life, I offer supportive skills balanced with authentic and collaborative techniques aimed at identifying patterns that keep you from showing up as your best self. I offer a fresh take on therapy that balances evidence-based strategies with grounding mind/body approaches.

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.

Are you feeling frustrated, lonely, overwhelmed, or depressed? Does it seem like there must be more to life than what you are getting? Sometimes we just feel stuck in our lives. Old emotional wounds or patterns keep nagging at us, keeping us from feeling free to live authentically. Relationships can be one the most rewarding or distressing parts of our lives. Changing the way we relate to ourselves and to others is key. Therapy is a transformative process that can help us address our concerns about ourselves and others.
