Therapists in Edgewood, MD

Therapy is a space to take care of your mind. I see strength and courage in vulnerability; bravery in facing discomfort; and growth in being human. I believe in the significance of meeting others where they are; with empathy and acceptance. I hope to guide individuals on their paths and support them in reaching their unique goals. I incorporate a variety of practices; including mindfulness to relax the mind and body; distress tolerance to manage emotions; and cognitive reframing to challenge thoughts. I am here to explore; empower; and guide one to what they already have within themselves.

Staying sane in an increasingly crazy; stressful world. Quite a challenge! My vision of therapy is solution-focused; goal-oriented. I am your thinking partner -- in your corner; always.

Together we target self-defeating behaviors; rather than focusing exclusively on psychopathology. I have 35+ years experience helping clients; have written 2 books; thousands of articles and hosted radio shows and podcasts. Let's get moving!
