2020 has been a tough year as we face this challenging time in our history. We’ve had to grapple with the longevity of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the uncertainty it brings. Challenges, which are further confounded by a complicated and divisive political climate make this a time of grief, trauma, loss, and difficult transitions for many. Physical distancing measures, forced adoption of new technology, and disruption of our routines, though necessary to reduce the spread of COVID-19, bring additional struggles with preventing isolation, remaining engaged with social supports, and coping with stress and anxiety. Please talk with a provider if you are finding yourself overwhelmed or if you are experiencing changes in sleeping, eating, or irritability, whether or not your challenges can be explained by current situations We have immediate openings for therapy and medication management appointments.

It's hard to know how to choose a counselor. I'm happy to meet for an hour or two at no charge to make sure it is a good match. Be aware that I accept Maryland and Federal Workers' Compensation. It starts with feeling at ease with someone, and feeling understood. I'm willing to be helpful for people who struggle with addiction, but I may need people to see an additional counselor for more focused help on this. One's thinking and beliefs are important, and certainly there is an emotional component. I find that people feel a lot better when they feel their lives are moving forward.

Choosing the right therapist may feel like an overwhelming, daunting, yet rewarding task. I will do my best to tailor each therapy experience to your specific needs by creating a warm, empathic, and trusting relationship. I view therapy as an opportunity to work collaboratively with you in order to allow you to uncover your own strengths, explore issues through a new perspective, and effectively manage your thoughts and emotions.

I am a psychology associate at Kingsbury Wellness & Learning Group, a nonprofit serving the DMV area. I help teens and young adults overcome challenges related to identity development and interpersonal relationships, so that they can build their confidence and forge fulfilling relationships. I work with adults to help them recognize and overcome unhelpful patterns, so that they can address mental and emotional stuck points.

Individuals frequently find themselves feeling stuck: in seemingly repeating patterns, with symptoms of anxiety and depression, or with pain from the past. Whether you are struggling in your connection with yourself and others, in your relationship with food and your body, or in your processing of past trauma and hurt, I believe that a warm and collaborative therapeutic relationship can facilitate healing, growth, and change.

Hi, I'm a clinical social worker licensed in Maryland. For over 20 years, I’ve worked with individuals of various ages, ethnic, and socio-economic backgrounds, who have suffered from mild to severe mental health disorders. I have an eclectic and conversational treatment style. I believe treatment relies on strong therapeutic relationships. The aspect of my treatment that I believe consistently helps my clients to achieve their goals, is my ability to use humor, strength, transparency, and kindness to make it safe for them to be honest and kind with themselves about problematic patterns of behavior and thought.

My focus in therapy is to meet clients where they are and help them get to where they want to be. I believe this begins with providing a supportive and trusting relationship where clients feel comfortable to share and explore their experiences. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to help them navigate through challenges and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their strengths.

Whether you're currently feeling overwhelmed or striving to reach your full potential, I help guide people on their path to feeling truly satisfied. I help clarify the patterns that leave people feeling "stuck" and help to illuminate the way towards resolution. I work on empowering people with the knowledge, skills and confidence to become their best selves.

I am the Executive Director of the Kingsbury Wellness & Learning Group, a nonprofit serving families in the DC metropolitan area. I work with clients who are hitting a wall with frustration and discouragement. I help them cope with immense stress and responsibility, navigate difficult life changes, engage with their families, and recover a sense of purpose. For young people, this typically means developing greater independence and feeling more secure as their responsibilities expand. For adult clients, it often means reflecting on the direction of their lives to develop a better understanding of what to accept and what to change.

My goal as a therapist is to help you understand and resolve the things that block you from happiness and emotional well-being. I work in a collaborative, interactive style that is both compassionate and challenging, and I ensure a safe and respectful atmosphere. I will work with you on practical solutions to immediate crises and problems; as well as understanding and changing maladaptive patterns of thinking, behaving, or feeling that stem from past experiences.

Do you ever feel like an imposter or struggle with feelings of inadequacy? Perhaps you lean towards perfectionism and feel like nothing you ever do is quite enough. Is it sometimes hard for you to set boundaries or take care of your needs? Many people with childhood trauma grapple with these difficulties and more. It may be hard for you to feel connected with others or to shake off feelings of loneliness. Sometimes you might even feel like it's hard to enjoy the good things in your life.

Are you struggling with a big change in your life? Do you feel like you can't bring your authentic self into the world? Do you feel stressed, disconnected, or ashamed? Then you've come to the right place! We'll collaborate on a plan to build skills and generate insight so that you can foster authentic connections with yourself and others. I work with individuals adults.

I love to work with people that want to be seen, understood, and feel more confident and comfortable in their own skin. People whom have depth and want to live meaningful connected lives. People come to therapy when something is not working and to explore challenges that keep them from being engaged in important areas of life. This may show up as anxiety, depression, anger, or a life lacking fulfillment. Facing yourself is a difficult and brave act; imperative to grow, cope with change, improve relationships, connect with others, understand yourself better, and feel more ALIVE!
