Anxiety Therapists in Potomac, MD

Currently accepting new clients :) I focus on treating early adolescents and young adults struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, and ADHD issues. I am especially experienced working with middle schoolers who are having difficulties navigating their family and peer relationships as well as mood swings and emotional regulation challenges. By helping my clients identify what is (and is not) in their control and looking within themselves to see what strengths they didn't know they have, I believe that anyone—no matter their age or background—can achieve their goals.

There are moments in life when things feel overwhelming and we struggle to find the answers to how to move forward. This can sometimes make us feel stressed, stuck, angry, anxious, or depressed. These feelings can also end up affecting our relationships, work, or life in general. I am a therapist who works collaboratively to find ways to help you explore what's happening in a supportive, caring, and non-judgmental environment. We'll work together to help you realize and build on your existing strengths and develop new emotional and behavioral strategies, especially self-compassion.

"Adulting" can be complicated. If you're in your teens or twenties, you know what I'm talking about - the pressure is real. Yes, it can be a time of new and exciting experiences, but it can also be fraught with anxiety, confusion, heartbreak, and unexpected forks in the road. Whether you're struggling with problems at school or work, difficult relationships, or just the sense that something is missing from your life, therapy may help. Creating lasting and meaningful change can be challenging but you don't have to do it alone.

Have you ever gotten to a point where you felt overwhelmed with life? It seems like the more you push through juggling school, work, family, relationships and/or life transitions thinking you can handle it the more you find yourself in a cycle like running in a hamster wheel feeling stuck. Sometimes you might feel like you’re just going through the motion in quiet desperation while wishing you knew what to do to emotionally handle life stressors better. You may even talk to friends, family, or distract yourself by staying busy but yet it’s not enough.

Do you feel lost in your own life? Are you anxious about the future or ruminating on the past? Maybe you just want to know yourself better and create the life you want. Together we can create a path to your best life fully in the present. I work from a solid foundation of empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard. Building a strong, trusting, therapeutic relationship is central to my process. I incorporate techniques from behavioral therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and CBT, and others. Social justice and culturally responsive practices are values I bring to our work and I am HAES-aligned.

Have you tried therapy before but it didn't really stick? A lot of people think what they're dealing with is anxiety or depression, because that is what it feels like to them. But if you also notice recurring emotional patterns, like feeling rejected, abandoned, not good enough; or behavioral patterns like pouring yourself into work or hobby, avoiding something or someone, or striving for perfection and people pleasing, these could be signs that common therapies for anxiety and depression just aren't going to cut it for you.

My greatest passion as a therapist is to help my clients lead a meaningful life aligned with their values and goals.

Therapy with me will look like a space with consistent, meaningful support while incorporating warmth, sensitivity, a sense of humor (at times) and a strong therapeutic alliance.

I help adult women address and manage overwhelming feelings related to experiences such as relationship issues with people you care for, anxious feelings that arise, family and life changes, and helping to increase self-assuredness.
