Therapists in Wheaton, MD

Welcome! Thank you for taking the time to visit my page! Whether you are just beginning your therapy journey, find yourself searching for help with continued healing or are you getting back in touch with yourself after time away from therapy, I would like to be there for you to help! I work with clients aged preteen-adulthood who have experienced trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, and learning disabilities. Additionally, I work with individuals in transitional life stages and caregivers who want to work through challenges in parenting/caretaking and also hope to prioritize their own mental health or life challenges.

In my practice I work to provide performance enhancement and mental health services to athletes, performers, and first responders. Although your daily routine may already include physical training, I believe it is just as important to train mental skills for holistic wellness and performance. In efforts to support my clients common topics discussed in session include: confidence, anxiety, injury and return to play, stress management, communication, recruiting, relationship dynamics, relaxation, focus, performing with pressure, and self-talk.

I work primarily from a cognitive behavioral perspective (CBT) and solution-focused approach, while also incorporating elements of trauma informed and person-centered therapy. I work as early as 8am and offer late evening appointments.

Grief is a deep sorrow we experience after we are faced with losses in our lives. These losses can be because of someone we knew and loved, or a life transition. These losses can be expected, such as a loved one dying from an illness, or sudden, such as someone dying by suicide. Regardless of the reasons for the grief, everybody grieves differently. It is important to also remember that loss and grief are not only the result of a death. Many people grieve due life changes such as the loss of a job, a marriage etc..
