I embrace an eclectic and collaborative approach to therapy, where working with clients and their families to develop the necessary skills and strategies to overcome life's challenges is the primary goal! In therapy, I strive to create an environment where clients feel both heard and supported but also where they are encouraged to take an active role in the therapeutic process. In addition to working with clients both individually as well as in groups, I have experience working with children, adolescents and young adults in Intensive Outpatient (IOP) treatment programs as well as in a University Counseling Center setting.

I believe psychotherapy is an interactive process. Therefore, I am an active participant with my patients, offering my opinions and sharing my thoughts.
I think people can begin to change in a fairly short amount of time if they put forth the effort. Although I have worked with people over long periods of time, most patients can move forward succesfully once they understand their issues and have started down a more productive path.
Through active listening, compassion, and trust I have taken part in a process where people create the lives that they want from lives that have been miserable.

Comeback Counseling: Trauma-Informed Therapy
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, LCPC, CCTP-II, ASDCS

Potomac, MD 20854
Certified trauma-informed therapist with training in EMDR, IFS, DBT, and CPT. I specialize in work with adult/adolescent clients with a history of trauma, whether single incident or complex and/or autism. These clients may present with PTSD, cPTSD, depression, anxiety, substance use disorders, personality disorders, and more. My goal is to assist my clients with not only recovering after trauma, but enabling growth toward the person they want to be. I see survival as a strength, and the adaptations that allowed for that survival should be recognized as such to increase self-compassion and facilitate the next step.

It's hard to know how to choose a counselor. I'm happy to meet for an hour or two at no charge to help you find someone. I believe that one's thinking and beliefs are important, but certainly there is an emotional component that is key as well. I find that people feel a lot better when they feel their lives are moving forward. I am best at trauma, anxiety, and panic. I enjoy working with couples, singles who are dating, and people struggling with fatigue. I have much experience with fire service personnel, and some experience with military. I am best with traumas that occurred as an adult.

Brainspotting/EMDR trained, I approach therapy with a hu manistic mindset, focused on developing insight to overcome the barriers that are preventing you from fully living life.
Opening up around the vulnerable and intimate details of our lives can be very uncomfortable. There is so much pressure to be “happy”, “better”, or “perfect”, while receiving messaging that being anything else is unacceptable. We are very adaptive yet often struggle to effectively get our needs met, so may engage in avoidance behaviors and withhold or internalize our feelings to try to prevent things from getting worse. You want to feel more like your true self and get more satisfaction out of your relationships. You need an unconditionally supportive, non-judgmental, creative, and humorous therapist who accepts you however you are.

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.
