Relationship Issues Therapists in Germantown, MD

Welcome! In my work with individuals, couples, and families, I take a collaborative approach with my clients to help best meet their own unique needs. Clients have described me as warm, engaging, and compassionate - with an ability to quickly put them at ease. Before going into private practice, I worked with a wide array of clients at various agencies including outpatient mental health clinics, county counseling programs, and an agency with its foundation in the expressive arts. I have a Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy and another Masters in Theatre Education. I enjoy finding creative solutions to problems.

Making the decision to see a therapist is never easy and takes great courage. I try to provide a safe, trusting environment for adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious and/or depressed. In my practice I use a supportive, solution-focused approach, which is practical and results oriented. I see therapy as a process for change rather than merely an exercise in insight.

I see my work with people as helping them to live happier and more fulfilling lives. Because we are all different, my services are highly individualized and I do not have a "one-size-fits-all" approach. I take a collaborative approach to working with you. Together, we will first understand your issues and then find better ways of coping, by learning and practicing skills that will allow you to make long-term changes in your life.

I work with adolescents,adults, and couples using the Family Systems approach by considering individual relationships between family members in the context of the whole. This means that I take into account my clients' emotional and relational history, in addition to observing present interactions. This collaboration of information from both the past and present is important in helping each person realize that he/she contributes to the way his/her life functions. It is my goal to help individuals recognize the impact of their unique roles in the family so that they may improve the quality of their interpersonal relationships.

Therapy can give you a safe place and the courage to share and reveal your story; to go there, not alone, but with someone who can help you understand what is happening. With expanded knowledge of yourself, you have the strength to act on intentional and personally meaningful choices. I am a catalyst for your understanding of yourself, alone and in relation to those important to you.

Are you tired? Are you overwhelmed with the never-ending list of responsibilities? Are you struggling to find balance? Do you feel like an imposter? Do you wonder if you’ll ever be able to truly be yourself and feel safe in this world? Do you feel frustrated that your ancestors chose YOU for this time and this work? I get it, and I got you. For real!

Often times we find reasons to devalue our own needs because acknowledging pain is hard. I encourage you to take this moment to put your happiness and well-being first. People reach out to me when they feel less in control of their lives. When stressful changes in life leave them feeling restless at night; they aren't able to turn off their mind. They often feel on edge, as if they might cry or lose their cool at any moment. It becomes difficult to feel joy from their usual pleasures. When clients sit down with me they want to regain a sense of normalcy and peace.
