In Person Therapists in Silver Spring, MD
Our relationships with others can be the source of our greatest joys and our greatest pain. I see therapy as a collaborative process where we work together to help you develop healthy, supportive, relationships - be they with partners, children, parents, friends, or co-workers. With over 25 years of experience providing individual, couple and family therapy, training family therapists, and teaching about families at the university level, I am committed to the important yet often difficult work of enhancing self-understanding and improving relationship/family functioning.

By the time most people are looking to find a therapist, difficult feelings or challenges at work, school, or in relationships have been going on for a while. We each have a unique life story and many strengths, but life can also bring anxiety, sadness, and other difficulties. You may be discouraged, doubting that things can get better. You shouldn’t have to struggle to make it through each day or each week. I am a psychologist with 30+ years of therapy experience, who strives to build strong, collaborative therapeutic relationships. I am optimistic that we can work together on making positive changes in your life.

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.

Life can be tedious and overwhelming, especially when we do it with kids, work, and family. Even if we look around and see that “nothing is actually wrong in our lives”, we may still feel sad, lonely, anxious, and overwhelmed. Therapy can be very helpful in gaining the internal tools needed to cope better with our lives.

Trauma’s impact can be extensive and diverse, often leaving individuals overwhelmed. As a trauma specialist, I prioritize building a foundation of safety for each client before delving into the processing of traumatic experiences. My expertise spans trauma across various stages of life, and extends into Marriage and Family therapy. With over a decade of experience as a helping professional, I employ integrative therapeutic approaches such as neuro-informed, narrative-focused, somatic, polyvagal, gottman, and attachment therapy, with a specific focus on BIPOC communities.

Our lives are filled with loss: relationships, jobs, physical abilities; deaths of loved ones; our own mortality. These losses shape our sense of who we are and our assumptions about life. However, these losses can give us the chance to make meaning, not by “moving on” or “finding closure,” but by walking and working through darker times. My job is not to help you “feel better,” but to join you on your journey. I won’t bring timelines or stages or expectations. I will bring my training and lived experience and hope to work with you as a fellow traveler on this shared journey to make meaning of our losses.

As humans, we experience pain, loss, or difficulties in our lives as individuals and in our family relationships. We make our best efforts to cope, adapt or resolve these trying experiences on our own. But sometimes, we get stuck or they are too great to endure alone. I believe the therapeutic relationship is a safe place, free of judgement, invested in exploring, healing, and growing. Together, we can work on the interpersonal, emotional, psychological, and spiritual issues that hinder you and your relationships from reaching full potential.

Perhaps kindness, attentive listening, and collaboration are the most important elements I can bring to adults in my comfortable therapy room as we work individually. My goal as a therapist is to provide you with a respectful environment where you can talk through what is causing you difficulties in your life. Our conversations will focus on reducing the effects and burdens of the problems, so that you will feel more free to live a happier life that is better connected to your hopes, dreams, and aspirations for the future. I can also provide sessions to practice and develop mindfulness skills to battle stress and anxiety symptoms.

I have a laid-back style and focus on creating safe space. My approach is pretty eclectic. Although my primary work is with the LGBTQ community--I have a strong LGBT and social justice background--it is not exclusive. I enjoy working with people willing to push their boundaries and learn about themselves. I also enjoy working with people exploring all kinds of creativity. I focus on what you see as your strengths. Building on those strengths makes the most sense to me when working with you.
