I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor licensed in Maryland and Pennsylvania and nationally certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I believe therapy is a collaborative partnership built on trust, support, and mutual respect. My approach centers on balancing acceptance and change—meeting you where you are without judgment while helping you challenge unhealthy patterns, build new skills, and grow. Together, we will work toward meaningful change and creating a life worth living.
I believe healing begins when clients feel emotionally safe, heard and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where you can openly explore your experiences, challenges, and emotions at your own pace.
I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York with over fifteen years of experience working as a therapist and a coach. I support clients navigating depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, OCD, parenting problems, career challenges, and life transitions.
I've worked with adolescents, couples, and families and I value creating a space where clients feel safe, understood and supported. I'm direct, yet compassionate, and I am not afraid to help you explore the "elephant in the room" so we can get to the root of what's keeping you stuck.
As an LCSW-C, with 6 years of therapy experience, I am happy to work with clients ages 18-55. I specialize in working with pregnant and postpartum women and those with substance abuse struggles.
Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Silver Spring
Searching for therapists in Silver Spring starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Some therapists focus on anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, life transitions, or work stress. Others may specialize in areas like couples therapy, family therapy, or identity-related concerns. As you compare Silver Spring therapists, look for training, specialties, and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed therapy, or another approach listed in the therapist’s profile.
Silver Spring has therapists across areas like Downtown Silver Spring, Takoma Park, Wheaton, and nearby communities, but local appointment times may vary. Virtual therapy can expand your options if office location, commute, or scheduling make in-person care harder to fit into your week. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for you, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and what care with them may feel like before you book.
Therapy in Silver Spring can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, check your benefits, see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
