Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Silver Spring, MD

I work with people who feel like life is happening to them—those carrying anxiety, depression, or overwhelming stress, still feeling the weight of past experiences or painful relationships, or noticing that old coping patterns like substance use no longer do what they used to. Most of the people I see arrive with a growing sense that something isn't working, and a willingness to try something different. My approach is collaborative, warm, and focused on understanding what's getting in the way and building a path forward together.

I specialize in telehealth (remote counseling) for individuals interested in change. My previous experience includes coordinating a Templeton funded mental health research lab while contributing to existing research projects. Clinically I am trained in Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Jungian, and Transpersonal psychotherapies.

You've gotten through things most people never have to face — and somehow that's made it

harder, not easier, to ask for help. Maybe you're carrying anger that flares before you can stop

it. Maybe your closest relationships keep hitting the same walls. Maybe there's grief, or

trauma, or a version of yourself you've been trying to get back to for a long time. Whatever

brought you here, you don't have to explain yourself from the beginning or justify why it

matters. It matters. And you deserve a space where the work is real — and you deserve a life that is not just surviving. You deserve to live a meaningful, authentic life where you are thriving!
