I treat adults, adolescents, children, and couples using psychoanalysis and psychodynamic psychotherapy.
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.

A guiding principle for me is a quote from my Nana- “we are all here to help each other through.” For every one of us there is a time when extra support is beneficial. I bring over ten years of experience working with children, teenagers, and young adults in the greater Baltimore area. Working collaboratively with clients I use evidence-based practices including CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and client-centered therapy. Additionally, I have training in animal-assisted therapy and have my dog, Marlow, join in on some sessions if desired.
