Therapists in Upper Marlboro, MD

Would you like to know what therapy can do for you? The first sessions will allow you to discover if therapy can support your growth and any life challenges you may be encountering in your present journey. I will make use of my listening skills to collaborate with and explore with you the past and present concerns that may need to be considered for therapeutic care.

I am an affirming therapist who is very attuned to the individual experience and narrative of every client I work with. I will not ignore your unique struggle, trauma, or journey that has shaped your life. I will help you go deeper to explore identity, pain, longings, fears, beliefs, struggles, resent, and relationships that have affected you in the past and still affect you today. I am open, non-judgemental, accepting, empathetic, and honest. I believe in therapy, that it works, and I will be with you for every step of your healing.

Do you want to increase self-awareness, reduce symptoms of anxiety/depression, improve communication & relationships within your family, process grief, find balance in your maternal role, and learn effective stress management techniques? Ultimately, do you want to regain control over your life and cultivate greater resilience and happiness? My primary goal is to provide my clients with coping strategies, build resilience, foster a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships, & create a more fulfilling life.

We are born into mystery and we are on a spiritual quest to know ourselves more fully, to discover our life's purpose and to find our personal power. My therapeutic approach involves accompanying my clients on a journey of self-discovery and self-mastery. For, as Carlos Castaneda wrote, "We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong...the amount of work is the same." Ultimately, my goal is to be a mirror that reflects back to you your own innate goodness, strength and wisdom. We repeat what we don't repair. So, my job is to be a witness to your process of awakening the healer that's already present within you.

The path we walk in our lives can be steep, slippery, and chaotic at times. The mission of Sacred Path Wellness is to provide a safe space to explore and heal the emotional burdens we carry that can often lead to disharmony within. Allowing the space for exploration, restoration, and coming to know these parts of yourself that carry these burdens in your life (whether that is shame/guilt, pain, loss, traumas, feelings of worthlessness, overwhelming sadness, anxiousness/stress, perfectionism, fears and/or others), we can often grow free to move through the path of our lives as we are meant to, fulfilled and with peace.

Have you ever wondered how it would feel to have a space to express yourself freely without judgment & criticism? Imagine having a caring & compassionate ear to listen & guide you through your darkest times. We've all had moment's where we've felt hopeless, afraid and out of answers. Moments where we are unsure of which decision to make or who to trust. Have you ever experienced depression or stress to the point where you felt totally incapable of managing your life and the stressors that come along with it? How about anxiety, racing thoughts & difficulty with simply being in your own skin...sound familiar?
