Psychodynamic Therapists in Clarksburg, MD

The goal of my practice is to provide quality mental health services in a caring and compassionate environment. I work with teens, adults, and families with a broad range of clinical issues, including anxiety and depression, overwhelming stress, low self esteem, relationship problems, trauma, grief and difficult life transitions.

My ideal client is motivated for therapy. Their issues can include spiritual confusion, perinatal struggles, relationship concerns, family conflict, boundary needs, and/or a desire for greater self-awareness. They desire true change, which comes with a combination of empathy, education, and constructive feedback, if necessary, from the clinician.

My clients typically face challenges with anxiety, depression, and interpersonal relationships. They benefit from a supportive, safe environment to explore and heal. My clients are also often looking to improve mental wellness, healthier relationships, and personal empowerment with the tools learned and practiced in therapy.

Accepting New Clients. It takes an incredible amount of strength and courage to realize that you are struggling and need support. It’s even more tiring doing the same thing over and over again while having the same outcome. Are you struggling with love or sex addiction, porn addiction, or trauma bonds? Have you been deeply betrayed by the person you love who is not healthy for you? I believe we all have an innate ability to heal within a safe environment that allows us to be vulnerable and feel validated. My goal is to provide that environment for you to explore your struggles and empower yourself to work towards your goals.

Connecting to what is important to you and who you want to be can be a struggle. Do you may find yourself constantly busy doing things to prove your value, but not fully enjoying your life and relationships. If this experience describes you, past experiences and relational trauma may be impacting you and leaving you with the feelings that you are "less than" and/or "not good enough." By exploring who you are in therapy you can work through past hurts, define what feels true for you, learn to value your worth, and create a life that feels meaningful and satisfying.

Ideally, I'd treat clients with a trauma history. Someone with a mixture of short and long term trauma. My ideal client is eager to learn and wants to find a way to become their own safe space. Someone who wants to learn how to set and maintain healthy boundaries, find out their triggers, and treat themselves with patience.

My ideal client seeks a therapist who understands the complexities of their lived experiences. They may be struggling with issues like trauma, addiction, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, identity struggles, life transitions, existential concerns, or oppression. They would come to me because they need a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore their emotions and experiences, seeking personal growth, well-being, and fulfillment. They choose me for support in achieving a fulfilling life, recognizing my capacity to guide them through personal growth and empower them to access their transformative potential.

Welcome! I particularly enjoy working with kids, teens, and adults who have a history of big emotions, and are looking for more insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns.

Perhaps you have struggled for a long time with controlling your impulses, relationships never seem to stick, and chaos and crisis seems to follow you wherever you go. We can process and relieve feelings such as shame, distrust, overwhelm, panic, irritability, anger, and depression without judgement.
