"As a practical, interactive, solution focused therapist, my treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns. With sensitivity and compassion, I help clients find solutions to a wide range of life challenges and psychological issues. Blending conventional and alternatives approaches, I draw on a variety of styles and techniques to incorporate what will be most helpful for each client. I work with each client to help them build on their strengths to identify and achieve life goals."

"You've been putting off therapy for months, but you're determined to make it a better year. You've spent the last several years trying to keep everything together, but you're exhausted and you're feeling like you don't know if you can keep it up. On the outside, you've got a great life. You are driven, reliable and successful. On the inside, the voice in your head quickly tells you that you aren't good enough and it reminds you of all of your weaknesses. You're exhausted from taking care of everyone else and not making time for yourself. It's time for a change! This will be your year for transformation and renewal!"

"I am a counseling psychologist. I work with families, couples, young adults and adults. I have over 15 years of experience with evidence-based family therapy. My approach to families, couples and individuals is strength-based and respect-based. This means appreciating that struggles we face as individuals and in relationships are not typically due to maliciousness but are part of the human struggle to do what we believe and feel is best for ourselves and our families--even if misguided. Unfortunately, we frequently misinterpret the intentions of others and experiences which impacts how we react--this can be changed and relationships can be repaired."

"I love working with motivated people who are ready to take a bold and compassionate look at their patterns - behavioral and emotional. I feel that people need help uncovering their own resources and that personal empowerment is the key to living more fully. Being out of "balance," whether that's behaviorally, emotionally, or spiritually, causes tremendous distress. My main goal in treatment is to help my client restore balance, thereby creating the opportunity to develop healthy, mindful choices in all areas of life."

"We all go through rough times and sometimes our lives can simply become overwhelming. This is when a trained professional is needed to help us get back on track and find balance. I am a licensed counselor and a certified addiction counselor, having worked in the field for over 30 years and I am here to listen in a supportive, honest, and nonjudgmental atmosphere. Together we can work to develop useful goals. I am an active and practical therapist, valuing confidentiality, trust and building rapport, knowing that most people simply want to find solutions to their problems and live the most satisfying lives possible."

"Immediate appointments available! Whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship issues, you may be in need of someone to walk with you for a time.

Counseling is designed to help you gain greater insight into your life and help you build awareness, compassion, understanding, respect, empathy and acceptance toward yourself and others. Seeking counseling can be a very healing process. "

"My passion for helping others has always been my primary motivation – both personally and professionally. I work with my clients to discover their own strengths, identify areas in need of improvement, and ultimately help them feel whole, safe, and valued. "

"I am passionate about guiding others along their path of personal growth and development. Through my experience, I have helped clients move through transitions in their lives, recognize their own self-worth and overcome patterns of depression, anxiety and panic attacks. I have also helped clients overcome symptoms of grief, trauma and sexual abuse. My approach is to guide clients to get in touch with their own natural wisdom and intuition to find balance and healing. I offer support in releasing blocks to self-esteem and confidence. I teach meditation and breath awareness to reduce anxiety."

"Life is a journey and many times it is not easy. My goal and purpose in counseling is to help my clients through the challenges and crises of life. In those difficult times it is hard to be objective and make the best decisions for ourselves and others. The counseling process can provide new objective perspectives and understanding. I listen, understand, stay calm and am not judgmental. Since we are created spiritual as well as physical and psychological I believe including the spiritual component can bring resolution to the source of the issues and not just symptom reduction."

"I provide counseling for individuals, couples and families. My practice offers a confidential environment where you can address the issues affecting your quality of life. Anxiety, depression, confusion about relationships and intimacy, marital strife, divorce, grief, parenting issues, eating disorders, and trauma are common issues around which I can help facilitate change and healing."

"I specialize in assisting children, teens and their families identify and implement solutions for their presenting problem. This includes but is not limited to behavioral disorders, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, grief, divorce recovery, family conflict, learning disabilities, school struggles and peer conflict. Additionally, I serve young adults who are adjusting to and coping with the many challenges associated with college life and/or transition from parental dependence to independence."

"Change can seem daunting, but it always fosters wisdom, increased awareness and overall self-improvement. Best of all, change can be accomplished with integrity and poise - life's speed bumps don't always have to turn into a train wreck. Learning to trust to swim with the rip tide instead of fighting against it allows us to return to safety. Based on the Eastern Shore, I bring nearly 30 years of experience to your counseling needs. Focus areas include navigating through life challenges, PTSD, anxiety, depression, stress management, family problems, child/play therapy, parenting and media addictions."

"Congratulations - you have made the first step on what can be a very rewarding pilgrimage toward health, wholeness, and growth. I am a psychodynamically oriented psychologist, trained to work with a broad spectrum of disorders. I am dedicated to improving my work, and stay actively involved in several academic and professional societies. No matter if you are an individual, a couple, a business, or a group, it takes a lot of courage to seek psychological services, and I applaud your effort. I hope that we will soon meet."

"If you have experienced some hardships and are looking for a way to make sense of them, you have come to the right place! Traumatic experiences can hold us captive in our own lives if we do not address the beliefs and memories head on. Doing so can be incredibly scary and also life-changing and rewarding. You are worth it! "

"It seems that hearing what your partner meant to say is a difficult skill to master. However, learning to say what you intend to be heard is even more difficult. Imagine what it would be like if your partner, family or friends heard ONLY what you meant. Imagine if messages were delivered in such a way that no one took things the wrong way. I teach communication skills to couples, families and individuals and employers. Improvements in communication is the foundation for improving relationships."
