“Vulnerability is the core, the heart...of meaningful human experience"
Welcome!
Are you struggling with an overwhelming set of responsibilities and have too much on your "plate"?
Do you often feel guilty from not being able to get everything done?
Is it difficult to make time for yourself?
Life can be a complex journey filled with challenges, and it is not uncommon to find yourself feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Whether you are caring for a child, a spouse, or aging parent at Talk Therapy Potomac we offer the tailored support system you need! Together, we will develop personalized strategies to end the cycle of burnout and worry by setting boundaries to become a priority in your life, find ways to minimize guilt and frustration, and learn new coping techniques for managing demands. My mission is to support you and to help you to feel "better".
I have over 11 + years of experience working with adults and older adults. My practice has naturally evolved to include Millennials and Gen X, providing a diverse range of therapeutic experiences. The rewarding work has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of the aging process, caregiver stress, and intergenerational dynamics within families.
My approach to therapy is characterized by warmth, empathy, and a deep commitment to your well-being. I provide a safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where you can openly discuss your concerns, process challenges, and work on goals. I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities to offer you a personalized and holistic approach.
