Your anxiety and OCD may show up in different ways: panic attacks, "derealization," obsessive doubting, or even with chronic IBS/abdominal pain. A cycle is born when these symptoms then trigger more anxiety/fear. It can be exhausting to focus on, and these problems can really affect your everyday life and choices. Trying to get rid of, avoid, or change the anxiety with breathing exercises, journaling, or other techniques can paradoxically make it all worse and perpetuate or exacerbate the discom...

I believe how we think about our experiences and what we do in response matters as much as what actually happens to us. I help my clients develop awareness of their thoughts, feelings, action, and their bodies, and help them explore how those experiences might interact with one another, both in the past and present. I also believe in balancing acceptance and change, both in the work and in the therapeutic relationship itself. I strive to create a validating and nonjudgmental space for...
Hello! I think one of the most important parts about choosing a mental health provider is to feel like there is a good fit between you and the clinician.

I take the therapeutic relationship very seriously, so I will spend a lot of time trying to get to know you, to understand what is causing obstacles in your life, and to identify what you would like to ge...

When clients first come to see me, many mention previous negative experiences with psychotherapy. Complaints often are about therapists being “unresponsive,” “too clinical,” or even “silent.” People come looking for a connection—a relationship in which they can feel safe to be vulnerable, to speak difficult truth, to reveal pain, and to find possibilities. I believe that this solid connection between therapist and client is a prerequisite for significant healing and growth in any therapy process...
Do you feel like your feelings are holding you back; stopping you from being the person you were before? Have you been trying hard to stop thinking negatively about yourself but you just do it anyway? I know how that can be: the self-defeating thoughts, perceptions of "I am not good enough" flowing constantly in your head, the feelings of guilt and unworthiness. These thoughts and feelings can be terrifying. With integrated approaches, it's time to let go of feeling stuck and trapped in them I ...
It is my belief and practice that we are more than our limited thinking minds.

The transpersonal is defined as "experiences in which the sense of identity, or self, extends beyond the individual or personal to encompass greater meaning. This can include exploring non ordinary states of consciousness. Licensed in MD, VA...
