Now accepting new clients. You are worthy of living your best life. Beginning this healing chapter of your journey can be challenging and we all need a little help sometimes. I am so glad you’re taking the first steps toward doing something for you. I am here to help you rediscover your worthiness and empower you to recognize and embrace your strengths so that you may heal, grow, and thrive. Therapy is a co-creative experience that I approach in holistic and experiential ways which help my clients to feel seen, heard, understood, and validated.

I offer you a judgment-free zone for healing from burnout, chronic stress & compassion fatigue. Whether you are facing divorce, caring for elderly parents and small kids, or simply have 'too much' going on, I can help. Therapy can be your safe place to unpack your feelings, hopes & fears. It can be your place to explore current or past trauma. It can be your place to process and heal. If overwhelm is your new normal and you find yourself giving everything you have to others before taking care of yourself, or, if you struggle to set healthy boundaries because you are an empath or highly sensitive person, I can help. Just call me.

As a clinician, I have experience working with a wide variety of clients, primarily those facing anxiety disorders, depression, body dysmorphia, self-esteem issues, and trauma-related disorders. I'm passionate about helping clients process past experiences, build a stronger sense of self, and create a new route to contentment and peace.

Are you feeling down lately? Are you looking to make a change in your life but don’t have the motivation to? I am here to meet you where you are and work with you to identify what goals and changes you want to make in your life.

**I am now accepting new clients ** I work with clients on a variety of different issues. My clients often need help facing anxiety, depression, panic attacks, grief, PTSD, family difficulties, self-esteem, and relationship issues. I work with teenage boys and girls, adult men and women, family members of those suffering from addiction, and veterans. Our time will be used as a safe place to discuss any difficult thoughts and emotions, and we will work together to get through them. I will provide compassion, understanding, therapeutic support, and motivation so that you can be on the path to your goals.

As a licensed social worker and therapist, I believe that all people deserve healing. I have years of experience providing counseling and support to adolescents, adults, and families at Johns Hopkins and University of Maryland. In our sessions together, I implement a holistic approach with an emphasis on your individualized healing and empowering you to focus on your strengths. I offer a safe, non-judgmental, and welcoming space to help you navigate, process, and grow through life’s many facets.

Now accepting new clients. Do you feel stressed out, anxious, irritable, or sad? Are you struggling with your relationship and lacking connection and intimacy? Are you feeling stuck in a negative cycle with your partner and in need of communication skills? I can help and bring change to your life. Little steps can lead to big changes and sometimes getting started is the hardest part. I am ready to help and have powerful tools to support you through this time.

Every stage in life, every situation we face, brings with it challenges, hardships and opportunities. The psychotherapeutic process brings focus and awareness to where we are now in our lives, where we've been, and the person we want to be. I see the therapeutic process as a journey that we take together. Whether you are an adult, adolescent, or family, my goal is to create a safe, caring, non-judgmental environment where you can explore relationship dynamics, patterns of behavior, identity, and opportunities for growth and change.

You've experienced some form of trauma, pain, loss, or heartache. Maybe it was a long time ago, maybe it was recent. No matter how hard you try, the feelings keep coming back and you can't help feeling "triggered." You used to have goals and dreams, but lately you've begun to doubt yourself, withdraw from others, and become disillusioned. You've lost your joy and you're beginning to lose hope. If that sounds like you, you may have complex trauma or PTSD. This can lead to long-term depression, anxiety, relational problems, concentration difficulties, and hypersensitivity. Is this you? Then you need a helping hand. I'm here to help.

I am an individual and family therapist. I have experience working with adolescents and adults whose needs include depression, anxiety, interpersonal relationships, family conflict, physical/sexual/emotional abuse and substance abuse. I use cognitive behavioral, mindfulness and solution focused techniques in treatment to help identify client strengths, obstacles to recovery and short term and long term goals for treatment.

By listening to people and paying attention to what develops, I collaboratively assist them to understand feelings, thoughts, body experiences, and behaviors. This may remove barriers to living life to the full. We often create these barriers early in life and then continue them through habitual thought, feeling-management, and relationship patterns. Healing occurs in a safe, new kind of relationship. Within this relationship, people may recognize things they have known and not known. Those who openly share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences (including a hesitation to share certain things) are often able to make progress.

I am here to assist clients with solving life's trouble spots. With over 20 years of experience I am sure that with using wisdom and understanding, you will thrive.

I believe that each person is born with incredible strengths that are sometimes buried through their interpretation of life events and personal struggles. We can become anxious, depressed, angry or overwhelmed, while dreaming of the way we really want to live and express ourselves. I can honestly say that each of you has the potential to uncover your true self; to find contentment, self-worth and self-growth. The journey can be rough, at times, but I would like to walk alongside the path with you as you re-discover your dynamic self and achieve your personal goals.

I have been practicing in the field for 4 years and am continuing to grow and evolve. My ideal client is someone motivated for change and understanding of self. I work with teenagers (12yrs+) and adults. I am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional. I enjoy helping people understand and manage their symptoms of anxiety.

If you are looking to understand your struggles in relationships or in dealing with anxiety and depression, I provide a means of healing from urgent pain and distress associated with the daily struggles of life and relationships. As human beings we are in need of consistent support and therapy can provide a safe, trusting environment for sharing our concerns and fears and facilitate growth in relationships and other areas of our lives. It allows us to feel empowered and more independent. Psychotherapy can enrich our understanding of ourselves and can enhance the quality of our lives.
