Licensed in VA, MD, and MA! It's a new year! Often we are successful in one area of our life but feel that another area is not going as well as we would like. Finding balance can leave us feeling overwhelmed. While we are all the experts on our own lives, sometimes we need the perspective of another person in order to see ourselves more clearly. Helping to better understand yourself and the strengths you already possess can lead to positive change which ideally will result in living a more authentic, balanced, and enriching life. I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore your challenges.
For couples, we'll explore communication, intimacy, and balance, focusing on recognizing and respecting boundaries. We'll work on maintaining individuality while deepening your connection. For individuals, we'll address personal relationship patterns, self-understanding, and growth, whether you're single or partnered.
I understand relationship challenges can feel overwhelming. You're not alone in this. As a licensed therapist in MD, VA, and MA, I offer a safe space to explore your concerns. While I don't accept insurance, I provide superbills. Ready to start your journey towards a more fulfilling relationship? Reach out today!
