Are you a caregiver experiencing fatigue? Guilt may crop up when you just want more time for yourself or burnout starts to cause emotional exhaustion. Whether you are caring for a family member, parent, or caring for multiple people at once. During this exhaustion, you might feel like you are becoming removed from your loved one and just going through the motions. Some days it’s an effort to do the simplest tasks, and even a full night of sleep won’t take care of how you feel. Are you ready to let joy into your life again? In therapy we will help make sense of your emotions while lessen fear, guilt, and anxiety.

Hi, how can I help you? I am here to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space for you to process everything that life throws at you. I know that life can be overwhelming at times, whether it be caring for a struggling child at home or trying to manage your own emotions, but I am here to help.

I trust that finding a therapist is challenging and can be overwhelming. I am a caring, supportive, intelligent and well trained therapist. I am committed to helping people overcome challenges and pain in their lives.

People come to me because they want to be less stressed and anxious, seek relief from painful emotions and circumstances, improve their relationships, better manage their anger, rid themselves of feeling like a fraud, get relief from insomnia, find ways to regain a feeling of fun and purpose, navigate life transitions, or gain a sense of empowerment and peace. It is my privilege to travel that road with you. All of us feel stuck sometimes, and my mission is to help you get unstuck and moving toward the life you envision for yourself. And to do it with seriousness, humor, respect, and fun.

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.

I know many of you approached this website with caution. Unsure if you were making the right decision to communicate your feelings to a stranger. Let me be the first to tell you YOU ARE MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION! Are you feeling stuck in life? Consistently feeling anxious or sad? Are you having trouble maintaining healthy relationships? Stagnant at work? Feeling purposeless? I understand what that feels like, and admire the courage it took for you to get here. A change is coming!

Life is difficult. At times it can feel like we'll never break free of the pain. It is my passion to help clients challenge the negative thoughts that influence the view of ourselves, our world, and the people around us. I truly value being able to connect with my patients over the things that make us feel vulnerable, imperfect, and human and collaborate to radically accept, grow from, and manage these painful experiences while continuing to build a life worth living.

Your anxiety just won’t go away! Every day you’re plagued with incessant what-ifs and worries about what others think. The constant striving for perfection is exhausting, as is that judgmental voice in your head that keeps telling you what you did wrong or how you’re not enough. You can’t remember the last time you had a full night’s sleep. You have tried everything, and nothing has helped. Your brain just won’t stop, and if someone tells you to “relax” one more time, you’ll lose it.

As an integrative therapist with a specialty in the treatment of eating disorders, I support women (cis, non-binary, trans) seeking support in navigating life's challenges. You may be experiencing a major life transition that is bringing up pain and unwanted coping behaviors. You may be recovering from a diagnosed eating disorder. You may want to discard dieting and negative body image altogether and want a guide for the journey. However you arrive, I will meet you. I offer a compassionate, non-pathologizing space to promote healing and growth as a whole person.

We all go through challenging periods in our lives, but there are times when a therapist can be a crucial presence during a particularly difficult time. I am a compassionate, trauma-informed therapist who can provide a safe space for you to unpack, examine and challenge negative thoughts or behaviors that leave you feeling stuck or unfulfilled. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that provides a tremendous opportunity for individual growth. Our sessions will be an opportunity for you to gain clarity and put those insights into practice to create positive change.

I am motivated and committed to assisting clients in reaching their greatest and most powerful life success outcomes, by providing therapeutic and coaching services that ensure optimal mental and emotional well-being. I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD and substance abuse. I work mostly with an adult population but will provide services to adolescents. I also work with public, private and faith based communities, providing life skills workshops and training. I currently accept insurances through Maryland Medicaid, Aetna and Care First Blue Cross Blue Shield.

It is my belief that there are two pertinent sides of a successful therapeutic exchange: 1) Support and 2) Education. It is essential to first establish a comfortable environment so that you may feel understood and empowered. It is then important on my part to share pertinent clinical tools or feedback when applicable. When feeling stagnant in life you may develop certain belief patterns of inferiority or insecurity which are detrimental for your emotional and/or physical self. Together, we must seek to develop new means of coping to reframe the limiting beliefs.

We are a client-oriented counseling (traditional, modern, holistic, and spiritual), coaching, and medication management practice. We put our clients' well-being first and together we work on and identify what solutions will work best for them, their lifestyle, and their healing proces/ change journey.

Whether it be depression, anxiety, substances, relationships, etc. We are living in a very fast pace world where our stuff can become overwhelming and may need some assistance. My belief to counseling is to assist the client where they are and aid in identifying solutions. Through therapy, I provide my clients with the tools that they need to live their life to the fullest and to discover the potential they have within themselves.
