Eclectic Therapists in Silver Spring, MD
Deciding to ask for professional help can be daunting. In order for psychotherapy to work, it's essential that you experience the process as safe, respectful and informed by experience and expertise. Taking a collaborative approach, I work with individuals in an eclectic style; that is, I integrate elements from several theoretical orientations to help people to tackle an array of issues including anxiety, depressed mood, relationship difficulties, and problems in daily living.

I take a pragmatic and eclectic approach by integrating psychodynamic theories with evidence-based tools.
Your struggles are unique and complex. As a psychologist my aim is to help you explore your personal narratives and to understand how your past is affecting your present and keeping you from fulfilling your values. Whether you are experiencing difficulty with relationships, life events, healing from trauma, or simply don't find yourself enjoying your life as you once did, I will help you feel grounded while we gain a non-judgmental perspective on your struggles and put our minds together to strategize ways forward. I specialize in treatments for trauma, depression, anxiety, job stress, insomnia, and relationship issues.

I have a laid-back style and focus on creating safe space. My approach is pretty eclectic. Although my primary work is with the LGBTQ community--I have a strong LGBT and social justice background--it is not exclusive. I enjoy working with people willing to push their boundaries and learn about themselves. I also enjoy working with people exploring all kinds of creativity. I focus on what you see as your strengths. Building on those strengths makes the most sense to me when working with you.

I am an interactive therapist using talk therapy, but I am eclectic in my approaches.
I work with adults and older adolescents who are dealing with anxiety and depression that interferes with their ability to maximize their progress at work and school and limits satisfying family and personal relationships. In addition, I find that life transitions can trigger emotional crises, but they also offer the opportunity for people to develop better strategies that can improve old patterns that have been unsuccessful in resolving problems in the past. Other areas of focus have included working on parenting strategies, marital relationships, grief and loss, and the impact of chronic illness on one's emotional life.
