I believe we are all just the stories we tell ourselves. There is nothing good or bad about this – it is just how we craft and make sense of our life. You and I may have the same exact experience of something, and you may hear, notice, and even value things I had not. If we are made up of our stories and our stories are extremely subjective, how do we make good sense of the world around us? You have all the answers inside you.

I am a clinical psychologist providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents and young adults.

I've been working as a therapist for people suffering from Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, bereavement, trauma issues, and addictions for over 30 years. I've also done much couples counseling and family counseling. In 2015 I obtained training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), now considered the gold standard for treating people with life traumas as well as anxieties. I've seen great results in faster time on these and many more issues in recent years. I look forward to helping you identify the changes you'd like to make and helping you enhance your strengths for achieving your goals.

Its not easy to maintain your health and mental wellness. It’s important to have a knowledgeable counselor you can trust. Feeling tired, annoyed and pulled in every direction by life is exhausting.

Not being your true self is no longer an option. You deserve to allow health back into your life. Being your best self involves setting goals not only for your career, family and education but for the balance your desire to thrive everyday. You can become the best you today!

I am a Diploma candidate (psychoanalyst-in-training) at the C. G. Jung Institute-Zürich, based in the Baltimore-DC area. A Jungian or depth psychological approach to personal growth, healing, and wholeness listens for the voice of the soul (psyche). Jungian analysis cultivates a relationship or dialogue between the unconscious and the conscious. This therapeutic approach provides new insights into unhealthy patterns and problematic un-owned aspects of the individual. This process promotes a deeper understanding of oneself emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually.
