Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Silver Spring, MD

With 14 years as a psychiatric registered nurse before becoming a practitioner, I bring both clinical expertise and heartfelt understanding to every patient interaction. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can feel understood and supported. Together, we’ll explore your unique experiences, identify what’s holding you back, and develop strategies to help you move forward with confidence and hope.

I specialize in therapy with orthodox Jewish women. My clients describe me as warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental, while still actively and directly guiding them in solution-oriented work. I bring just enough humor to keep therapy playful, and to make even the hardest work doable!

I have nearly three decades of experience helping adults navigate trauma, self-esteem struggles, difficult relationships (including parenting and marriage,) spiritual concerns, anxiety, mood issues, and major life transitions.

It is my honor to walk beside each client on their healing journey!

Most men we work with are high-functioning on the outside but running on overload internally. Professionals, business owners, and leaders who have been pushing through stress, anxiety, irritability, or relationship strain for years. What brings them in isn’t curiosity—it’s friction. Work feels heavier, relationships feel more strained, patience is shorter, and the strategies that used to work stop working. They’re not looking to be analyzed—they’re looking to get back in control.

My hope is to create a safe, encouraging and oftentimes silly and sarcastic environment to partner with you in the next step of your story. I’m a licensed certified social worker – clinical and a psychotherapist. My time working as a psychotherapist in schools and the surrounding community has led me to become passionate in addressing and advocating for a person’s needs and strengths. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults to address a wide variety of concerns including trauma, life transitions, anxiety and depression.

Life can quickly become overwhelming, often leaving us emotionally depleted and unable to cope effectively. In that state of mind, we can lose objectivity and compassion towards ourselves. My goal is to offer a safe place for you to express your feelings, and work together to promote self-exploration, identify damaging thoughts, implement coping strategies, and develop existing strengths for a healthier, happier you.
