Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Waldorf, MD

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves"-Victor Frankl. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who strives to empower individuals and families to release habits, behaviors and thoughts that prevent growth. I empower them to embrace change, so that they are able to evolve and experience a more fulfilling life. I utilize an inclusionary treatment approach that incorporates health and wellness because true healing begins within. As a seasoned therapist, I have aided many to find their strength through self-care, mindfulness and tailored coping skills.

With the trying times we now face daily, you may feel like many people have lost their way. The quiet place we used to gather our thoughts and plan for the future seems to be lite years in the past. It can be hard to listen to what our brains tell us when working, caring for others, or distracted, besides the daily struggle of just living. The “New norm” is a struggle that consumes us daily. We’re so used to multi-tasking that we don’t give time and space to sit down and reflect. Scheduling time for yourself is going to be a more critical component of your wellness.

I believe that change happens when people are given the guidance, they need to draw on their own strengths. Realizing their potential to live fulfilling, happy lives. I provide an environment of compassion and support to help individuals and families overcome obstacles to move forward and thrive.

I enjoy the process of helping my clients, besides my vocation, it is my passion and I have been in the social work field for 7 years. Through online therapy I have had the opportunity to help people both near and far from me. It's time that the fact of going to therapy stopped being stigmatized, so one of my goals is that the client feels comfortable during the process. Telling how we feel does not make us weak, on the contrary, it is the first and most important step to feel better, that is why at One Alkaline Life we have always focused on offering you the best to accompany you in your learning process.

My approach to therapy focuses on a collaborative relationship between therapist and client. This allows clients to work through their struggles in an emotionally safe, non-judgmental, honest, and compassionate space. The journey of working through struggle becomes an opportunity for growth and healing. I have formal training in cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness , and Gottman Method Couples Training (1 & 2). I have experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and adults, but my passion is working with couples.
