Esteemed neurologist Viktor Frankl once said, "When we are no longer able to change a situation we are challenged to change ourselves." His words resonate with my approach to counseling which is insight oriented & geared towards promoting personal awareness, resilience & growth.

I hold state licensure in both Maryland & Virginia as well as national board certifications including NCC & CCMHC. I am also a registered telehealth provider in the state of Florida.

Are you experiencing chronic illness or pain? Do you feel stress, anxiety, and depression emotionally AND physically? My practice focuses on treating both the mind and the body using a caring, holistic approach. I am a certified Integrative Medicine Mental Health Provider, and have 15 years of experience working with adults, teens, children, couples, and families experiencing illness/pain, anxiety, phobias, OCD, depression, eating disorders, difficulty with life transitions and relationships, weight loss, and smoking struggles. I empower my clients in a safe environment by teaching them real-life techniques to ensure fast results.

People need support and someone who is going to listen to what is causing stress or anxiety. I am here to help offer positive and effective solutions when challenges or conflicts become overwhelming. I believe people can pull from their inner strengths to address problematic issues - both historic or current with cognitive behaviors techniques. A peaceful mind equals a peaceful life.

Opening up can be challenging for some individuals, so I make it a priority to create a safe, warm, and respectful environment. I am a compassionate and creative therapist who strives to ensure that you will feel heard and understood as you confront life's challenges. Therapy is an opportunity to find personal fulfillment, increased self-understanding, and the ability to self-reflect. I will help you in this journey and along the way we will identify unhealthy patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving, as well as strengthen meaningful relationships.

I am licensed to see clients in Maryland and DC both in person or over telehealth. My clients describe me as warm, friendly, down to earth, and kind. I believe in forming a caring, secure, and trusting relationship with all my clients as the basis for our work together. In my humanness, I like to help clients see that they are not alone and they will be accepted and not judged by me. I consider my clients as the experts on their lives and my job is to support them in achieving their goals and caring for them during this process. I offer guidance, understanding, and wisdom based on experience and knowledge. I truly care.

I embrace an eclectic and collaborative approach to therapy, where working with clients and their families to develop the necessary skills and strategies to overcome life's challenges is the primary goal! In therapy, I strive to create an environment where clients feel both heard and supported but also where they are encouraged to take an active role in the therapeutic process. In addition to working with clients both individually as well as in groups, I have experience working with children, adolescents and young adults in Intensive Outpatient (IOP) treatment programs as well as in a University Counseling Center setting.

I am a licensed therapist in the state of Maryland and a graduate from the University of Maryland School of Social Work. I have worked in the field of mental health for over 11 years and I am committed to helping individuals overcome challenges related to anxiety, depression, relationships, and boundaries. My goal is to collaboratively work together to gain new perspectives by exploring core beliefs and the meaning behind actions. It is my intention to provide a nurturing and authentic relationship that promotes improved mental health and personal growth. I look forward to being part of your journey!

In my years of working with diverse populations, I've learned what we all have in common is difficulty at times with the human experience. Whether it's a mood disorder or debilitating anxiety or addiction, we suffer and need help at these times. From identity issues to discomfort in one's own skin, we know when we're not living fully. Our innate resilience and joy become buried under layers of defenses, but they're still there. Let's uncover them together.

Utilizing a competency-based approach, I assist my clients to reframe how they perceive the issues in their lives; to work through emotional conflict and learn new behaviors to manage and enrich their experience. My style is direct, compassionate and interactive. Having begun my career as a teacher and having raised four children, I have an intimate knowledge of child development and educational needs. Through thirty years of practice and specialized training, I have expanded my background to include personal coaching, couples/family counseling, addictions recovery, men's health and management of chronic conditions such as mental illness and cancer.

Relationship expert and certified life coach with proven track record for guiding people to success in their personal and professional lives, motivating them to live and lead from their true power. I offer individual, couples and group counseling, using cutting edge methods that provide shortcuts for personal growth and create deeply rewarding relationships. I am committed to making a difference in ways that empower, inspire, and connect. During my extensive travels, I mentored teams of humanitarians to improve communication and interact effectively in diverse cultural environments.

We work with individuals, families, and children. We specialize in trauma including generational trauma, perinatal, immigrants, parent-child relationship issues, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and family conflict. Our greatest intention is to help you understand yourself better and improve your quality of life and relationships. We tailor our approach to the needs of each person or family, responding to your unique problems, identities, and realities. This is not a one-size-fits-all practice because we are trauma-informed and social-emotional focused practices from a social justice framework.

Life can be overwhelming. If you are struggling with managing emotions with work, parenting, or role transitions such as marriage or divorce or aging or you may be a person who is exhausted from trying to make it through yet another day of a list of obligations. You may be a person who is facing an empty nest and struggling with that role change and wondering about the next steps to focus on yourself. I would like to help you with these and other issues by acknowledging the validity of these struggles and helping to increase coping skills and manage mood regulation to help you feel more accomplished and settled.

Life is hard. Perhaps you feel stuck or unhappy without knowing why. Maybe you are reading this because you have been impacted by difficulties in your life causing you pain right now. Most of us can't escape the suffering inherent to life. Relationship problems, anxiety, depression, mindbody disorders, self-defeating patterns, attention/learning problems, trauma and abuse frequently motivate people to enter therapy. Your ability to accept help when needed is the hallmark of inner strength. Knowledge is power, and knowledge about yourself is at the core of how you relate to others, cope, and make decisions in your life

These days, many of my clients have been pushed over the edge by the pandemic, with things that have been managed for years- stress, anxiety/depression, trauma, use of alcohol or other substances yourself, or by family members- suddenly becoming a problem. I meet clients where they are, so if one thing has gotten out of balance, we can focus on that issue. If it is time to go deeper, we can do that as well. Therapy is about changes that will make a difference in your day-to-day life, giving you peace of mind, and the joys you desire. If this resonates with you, please contact me, and we will work together to achieve these outcomes.
