"I provide support and guidance to children, adolescents, and families in order to help them learn healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. We live in a complex and stressful world and are not always equipped with practical strategies to handle the challenges of everyday life or its more unusual challenges. My goal is to help individuals and families develop more satisfying lives. I treat clients with a broad range of psychological concerns. I use a practical and comprehensive approach, addressing each individual's issues within the context of the family, school, and community."

"I have been in practice for over ten years. I have success treating clients who struggle with mood dysregulation which leads to difficulty in their relationships.

In addition to being a psychotherapist, I am also a board certified supervisor offering clinical supervision!"

"I received my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from Spalding University in Louisville, KY. I have professional experience working in various settings, including schools, community mental health clinics, outpatient mental health clinics, hospitals, university counseling centers, and private practice. I completed a pre-doctoral internship at The GVSU Counseling Center in Allendale, MI, and a postdoctoral fellowship at the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Columbia, MD. Before pursuing my doctoral degree, I graduated from Churchill High School in Potomac, MD; therefore, I am familiar with the academic and social pressures experienced by young people in Montgomery County and surrounding areas."

Having a good match between therapist and client is important in achieving the changes you want. For the past 30 years, I have worked in a variety of treatment settings (including mental health, substance abuse, and crisis intervention) and have demonstrated success helping men, women, young adults, adolescents and families heal and recover from such issues as depression, anxiety, family distress, trauma/abuse, addictions and dissociative disorders."

"Are you leading the life you want? So many people aren't. Dissatisfaction, anxiety, depression, and stress become fixtures in our daily lives. If yours is not the life you want, therapy can be a powerful means by which to let go of suffering, to find fulfillment and joy in you life. In my work, I help people develop the skills they need to let go of pain, to pursue their goals, to strengthen relationships, and to live fully. My clients range from people who are having acutely painful problems to people who simply feel stuck or unhappy."

If you are struggling with problem behaviors, painful moods and other mental health issues, there is hope. I know that together, we can create a plan that supports the change you want."

"We work with individuals, couples, families, and children. We specialize in addiction, eating disorders, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, family conflict and grief. Our greatest intention is to help clients understand themselves better and improve their quality of life and relationships. We cater our approach to each client, responding to their own unique problems and personality style. This is not a "one-size-fits-all" practice."

"Feeling stuck or experiencing life and relationships as old or frustrating? Life can at times be over-whelming, but it does not need to stay that way. Through a collaborative process, I help my clients to both understand themselves and effectively transform their lives and live more fully. I work with my clients as partners, and my sessions are interactive and productive. While the work can be deep and transformative, the approach is strength-based and pragmatic. We are all unique, and there is no method that fits everybody. Our work together is a joint and respectful discovery tailored to meet your specific goals and needs. "

"If you suffer from moderate to severe anxiety disorders such as social anxiety, OCD, generalized anxiety, or panic, you may have resigned yourself to "living like this". You may be stuck in a pattern where you are making choices based on fears and insecurities, rather than on what you truly want. My role is to help you break out of the anxious-avoidant cycle and begin to live fully again - grounded in what you value, not what you fear. I specialize in cognitive behavior therapy for anxiety disorders and will work with you to tailor the interventions to fit your needs. "

"Thank you for stopping here - My work is focused on those whose lives are impacted by medical situations and the caregivers of loved ones that face life-altering or chronic illness. I help my clients gently explore the stress they are facing and find better ways of coping with the changes that their bodies and lives go through. Together we explore the trauma of chronic or life threatening illness, honoring the deep desires, exposing the fears and finding the courage to make self affirming choices. Through the healing relationship my clients learn to navigate the process of self-discovery and self-acceptance."

Therapy will help you or your child gain insight, develop coping strategies, and better manage behavior and relationships."
