About
Through my own life's journey, I have an intimate understanding of the need for meaning and purpose in our lives and to feel fulfilled.
I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical with 26 years of experience supporting adolescents and adults. I specialize in helping clients navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, grief and loss, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, trauma, and relationship difficulties. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences, gain insight, and build healthier patterns. I help clients achieve a sense of meaning, purpose, and peace in their lives.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work Mental Health from Columbia University. My approach integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and dialectical behavior therapy to help clients regulate emotions and challenge negative thought patterns. I also draw from psychodynamic therapy to address the impact of early life experiences.
I am passionate about helping clients find balance, healing, and fulfillment. While the journey can feel challenging, the rewards of growth and self-discovery are worth it. I encourage you to take the first step toward care and I look forward to connecting with you and supporting your path toward lasting change.

Infidelity counseling is a specialized therapeutic approach designed for couples grappling with the aftermath of one or more partner’s infidelity. It offers a nurturing and non-judgmental environment where both individuals can delve into the underlying reasons behind the breach of trust, openly express their feelings, and collaboratively strive to mend their relationship. The overarching objective of infidelity counseling is to either facilitate a path to reconciliation, should both partners desire it, or guide them through the process of separation or divorce with clarity and empathy.
Infidelity counseling combines various therapeutic techniques, such as individual and couples therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches for changing destructive thought patterns, communication skills training for conflict resolution, Emotionally focused therapy (EFT) to rebuild trust, narrative therapy to reframe relationship narratives, and mindfulness practices for managing intense emotions. These methods work together to foster self-awareness, emotional healing, and the reconstruction of trust, leading to a healthier, more resilient relationship.
Infidelity counseling at Thriveworks Silver Spring, MD is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The number of sessions needed for infidelity counseling can greatly vary based on the specific needs of the individuals or couples involved and the complexity of the issues being addressed. Thriveworks infidelity counseling in Silver Spring, MD typically includes multiple sessions spanning from several weeks to several months, with the exact number of sessions decided in consultation with the therapist while considering the progress made during therapy and the therapeutic goals.
There are two sides to every story. At Thriveworks Silver Spring, our adultery counselors in Montgomery County work to bring the two sides to the table and work out an effective solution. They see both sides equally and want to resolve the issues at hand in order to restore a happy and healthy relationship.
Adultery hurts. Betrayal hurts. The person who has been betrayed has their trust in everyone absolutely shattered. The person who did the betraying feels guilt for what they’ve done but also feels that maybe they’ll never be forgiven no matter how much they make amends. This betrayal can lead to the following effects:
The gap between the betrayed and the betrayer can seem unfathomable and that is what counseling for infidelity is for—to help to bridge that gap. Learning how to overcome the hatred and hurt that accompanies infidelity in a relationship can be extremely crucial in moving forward in not only your marriage, but in life as well.
After an earth-shattering event like infidelity hitting a relationship, professional counseling for adultery is recommended. A counselor can help with the following:
A counselor working with a couple that truly want to make things right is one of the best tools to utilize in order to achieve that goal. It’s difficult but a great many marriages and relationships do survive infidelity.
Through both individual and couples counseling, the professional can bring the damaged relationship into the sunlight and work to make it complete again. Counseling for infidelity is not easy, but it is worth it if you stick with it.
