| Practice Description: |
As a holistic, strength-based, solution-focused therapist and life coach I have a passion to help my clients learn to help themselves. I'm always inspired by my clients during our in person and Skype therapy sessions. With my eclectic approach I use mindfulness, mind/body energy techniques to help adolescents, families, and adults learn to diminish their current triggers, from past stress or trauma, which may be causing them anxiety and/or depression. As one's body and mind shifts then one's perception changes in a positive way, people can start to feel unstuck, and see themselves and others more positivelly. By experiencing, creating, and incorporating a "Resiliency Routine" into one's life with Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT) and other holistic techniques, one will grow, heal, and move in a positive direction.
People can learn to reframe their irrational beliefs and negative self-talk to more positive self-talk. My clients have learned to feel the positive intentions of other's communications, they may have perceived as negative. In one session it's possible to be free of your mind/body connection to stress caused by a certain event or person with AIT. Together we can practice coping skills (create personalized 'Strength Kits') that you can continue to use to enhance, balance your life, and help you find inner peace or the shift you have been looking for. I look forward to hearing from you and getting started.
I interned at Potomac Ridge Psychiatric Hospital in three units conducting individual, family, and group therapy. As a Licensed Clinical Community and Professional Counselor I worked in a locked adolescent residential , acute adolescent, and dual-diagnoses adult units. Now having my own practice, Authentically U Counseling, LLC, I teach my Stress Management-Resiliency and Empowerment Workhsops at Montgomery College, my practice, and work at a Montgomery County Clinic with a diverse population. I conduct individual, couples, and family therapy for clients aged 12 years to adults in their homes, schools, or my office. I worked at an intensive drug and alcohol rehab clinic. I teach my psycho-educational groups and conduct therapy groups on the topics of solution-focused, anger management, acceptance, mistaken beliefs, positive perception, Stress Management/ Mindfulness, creative counseling, visualization, journaling, EFT Tapping, Meditation, Nuero-linguistic Programing (NLP), Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT) and other healthy coping techniques.
I look forward to helping you help yourself grow. Please call me at (240) 426-8344 to arrange an appointment time. Breathe, Focus, Grow & Inspire....
