Psychotherapy Services in Silver Spring, MD
As a licensed clinical professional counselor, I bring decades of experience and a deeply personal approach to psychotherapy. My practice focuses on helping individuals navigate grief, loss, and existential challenges through evidence-based modalities like narrative therapy and existential psychotherapy. With specialized training in emotionally focused couples therapy, I guide partners toward renewed emotional connections rooted in curiosity and mutual understanding.My work extends to clinical supervision, where I mentor emerging counselors in ethical practice and feedback-informed care. Grounded in progressive education principles, I prioritize client autonomy and meaning-making in every therapeutic relationship.
