Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists in Fort Meade, MD

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.

People find themselves considering therapy for a variety of reasons. Perhaps they find themselves struggling to find balance and acclimate to the many changes in our world today. They find it hard to sleep, stay focused or find motivation. All of a sudden completing tasks takes more effort. Others find it hard to build or maintain relationships with others. Expressing or regulating emotions can be more difficult. While we all have a host of coping strategies that we rely on to get us through life's challenging moments, during times of increased stress we sometimes find these strategies just don’t work as well as they did before.

I am a licensed counselor with over 15 years’ experience, with additional specialized training in Telebehavioral Health or "on-line therapy." Through empathy and dedication to individualized care, I strive to put clients at ease. Clients describe me as "approachable, insightful, non-judgmental and caring." Through a solution-focused approach it is my goal to help you learn new practices to change old habits and hurts, to help you THRIVE!

I specialize in offering a safe, therapeutic space for adult women seeking to alleviate stress, anxiety, and navigate life transitions. Overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, nervous about the next step? Having trouble adjusting to pending or present changes? Perhaps you are having a hard time managing life and its endless responsibilities, and doubting yourself in the process. Mental wellness often takes a backseat due to the societal pressures to manage, remain strong, be successful, and balance many roles. I offer a safe place to figure out how to bring balance and peace in your life.
