Therapists in Poolesville, MD
Poolesville, Maryland is a gem in a haystack. A town of only 4 square miles in the heart of Montgomery farm country, Poolesville is close to several small towns and cities, but its wide-open spaces make it feel a bazillion miles away from the hustle and bustle of larger towns. It’s not uncommon to feel mentally and emotionally distant at times.
It’s not necessary to feel detached and unsociable for long. Despite the small town flavor of Poolesville, professional mental health counselors are available in the local area. Getting back to feeling connected is as easy as getting matched with a professional who can help.

15 years offering treatment
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland, bringing over 15 years of experience to my practice. My most extensive experience lies in managing depression, stress, and anxiety, enhancing motivation, self-esteem and confidence, and assisting clients in coping with significant life changes. In addition, I have also spent significant time addressing relationship issues, resolving family conflicts, and offering guidance on parenting concerns. Each individual carries their own unique wisdom and strength, and I see you as the author of your life story, equipped to navigate through your personal challenges. My therapeutic approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness, gratitude, and the principles of meaning-making. While my practice is rooted in Christian principles, I respect and honor the diversity of beliefs and perspectives, and aim to cultivate a space of acceptance and personal growth. Our goal isn't to dictate a path, but to empower you on your journey towards a happier, more fulfilling life.
