Therapists in Thurmont, MD

I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to working with people. As your therapist, I will work with you to identify your goals for therapy and how we will work towards them. Our work together will blend coping strategies and skills to manage current distress, as well as explore past issues that are influencing present day difficulties.

I have been in clinical practice for over thirty years. I have done extensive training in emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT) and enjoy providing marriage counseling, family therapy and individual psychotherapy. I treat depression, anxiety, trauma, issues related to separation/divorce and life transitions. I also help with low self esteem, and relationship issues.

We are right here to help with convenient, confidential e-counseling sessions. Most major insurances accepted. We are a group of over 20 therapists committed to reaching underserved populations throughout the State of Maryland. Teletherapy is covered by most insurances with equal benefits as in-person treatment. Research has demonstrated that videotherapy is just as effective as face-to-face therapy. That said, it is not recommended for those who are experiencing suicidal or homicidal ideation or for those who need medical monitoring (addiction detox, eating disorder early recovery, etc.) or for children under the age of 12.

Facing personal or family struggles is often difficult; making the decision to seek help can be even more so. I view the therapeutic process as a joint endeavor between the therapist and the individual or family involved. While the techniques and strategies employed in session are important, an individual's motivation and willingness to work are critical. When appropriate, this process can include an individual's family or specific family members. I often seek caregiver participation when working with children and adolescents. Parents and loved ones can be a powerful tool in eliciting growth and development.

You may notice the push-pull of opposing experiences inside your mind at the same time. On one hand, you feel joy, but a part of you also feels sad. Maybe you feel excited, yet something warns you not to get your hopes up because it’ll never work out. Despite being worried and anxious, you still muster the courage to show up every day for what that scares you most. Perhaps you love your partner but don't really like them. Or you feel stuck in a job for financial security, but deeply desire change that will allow you to live more true to yourself.

One of my biggest struggles in life has been finding ways to show up authentically. As a Black, non-binary and queer person, finding spaces that validate core aspects of my identity have been challenging. It’s an honor to hold space for individuals who are struggling to find their voice and place in the world. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space where you feel accepted, respected, and understood. I enjoy working with individuals from marginalized and underserved communities (BIPOC, LGBTQ+). My practice is intersectional, collaborative, based in a social justice framework, and sex positive.

Does your child struggle with stress and anxiety? Is it difficult for him or her to make positive choices, manage emotions or perform in school? Teenagers and young adults face unique challenges in life, and it can be very overwhelming for them and you, the parent. I work with adolescents and young adults, ages 12-25, to help them understand stress and anxiety. We work together to overcome their obstacles and self-doubts; helping them focus on building positive thinking and behaviors to achieve their life goals.

**Telehealth Available** I know that you have a "pretty good" life. Perhaps you have done some work in therapy before, and things are finally stable. Yet, you sometimes feel like you are playing a part, rather than embracing and expressing your authentic self. You may feel uncomfortable in your own skin, self-conscious, or like you are not "enough." You may struggle to find your authentic voice and honor your values in your relationships or career. Life circumstances, societal pressures, past trauma, depression, and anxiety can all create obstacles to experiencing inner peace, trust, and confidence.
