Therapists in Silver Spring, MD
My specialty is in the area of grief and loss and involves clients who have lost a parent, grandparent, or friend through natural or unnatural causes. I provided a safe space for clients to integrate their losses into their lives by helping them find meaning in their world that has drastically changed as well as manage a mixture of emotions that impact them. I am a certified Grief Educator and trained under a well-known Grief Expert, David Kessler. I also help anxious clients discover a sense of control, serenity, and relief from what they perceive as chaos. The tailored strategies I provide will help you lower anxiety's voice.

Adding to what you already have, our time will be spent doing what I call “adjusting the lens”: adding more depth—more clarity to whatever has been difficult to identify. Through the use of further psycho-educational knowledge, developing and practicing new coping skills, while having a safe non-judgmental space to process and grow. Your experiences, your story matters.

We're supposed to drink enough water, get enough sleep, exercise, save money, make money, work hard while having work/life balance, be a great spouse/parent/sibling/child, travel more...the list is endless. We are taught to engage life at a grueling and intense pace that is becoming increasingly difficult in the backdrop of a tumultuous world in crisis. I don't view mental health in a vacuum; sometimes depression and anxiety are appropriate and healthy responses to stressful and unprecedented life events. I teach solution-oriented skills to address feelings, improve communication and live in a healthy way that honors your humanity.

Are there aspects of your life that you are unhappy with? Are you feeling anxious, struggling to follow your dreams or having difficulties in your relationships with others? Are you struggling with the impact of past traumatic experiences? If so, therapy can be helpful to you! My approach centers on fostering connection and healing. I prioritize a trauma-informed perspective, shifting the question from 'what's wrong with you?' to 'what happened to you?'. This approach is particularly empowering for trauma survivors, who may have received multiple diagnoses in the past.

Are you feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected? Does your life look perfect on paper, but you feel empty inside? Maybe perfectionism or people-pleasing is running your life, leaving little room for your own needs. You might be juggling the demands of parenthood, work, and relationships, and find yourself constantly running on empty, wondering if you’ll ever feel like yourself again. I work with people like you who are ready to stop feeling burned out and start reconnecting with what matters most.

I like to help others heal from suffering - whether it be understanding and managing emotions, processing trauma, reducing negative thinking patterns, getting unstuck, changing habits, letting go, achieving personal goals, communicating or relating better, building coping skills and resilience, etc. I take a holistic approach in my work and integrate talk therapy, mind-body skills (breathing, relaxation, yoga nidra, qigong, etc.), and healthy food/sleep/movement practices. My therapy style is warm, thoughtful, attuned, open, strengths-based, collaborative.

Hello, I’m Shelley. Life is a beautiful journey. However, at times we all face challenges that seem insurmountable, which can cause us to feel isolated, alone, and powerless. “Feelings are messages from our soul – negative ones are a sign that something needs addressing. Not out there – but inside of us.” Unknown. We all have the resources within us to heal ourselves. Sometimes we just need assistance identifying them and a safe place to find the courage to utilize them.
