I have worked in clinical and school psychology areas for 30+ years. My work has always involved different ages, ethnicities, backgrounds who sought my help due to their personal needs and feelings, including fluctuating moods, learning, developmental and school-related concerns, behavioral/emotional adjustment, managing stress, excessive worrying, emotional hurt, and coping with life events. I have experience working with individuals, families, and groups, providing comprehensive assessments, and collaborating with other provider professionals to help achieve or facilitate positive psychological outcomes for you.

Maybe you're having a hard time dealing with a particular problem or maybe something happened that you can't figure out how to handle and you're contemplating whether to seek counseling. I know that making that decision isn't always easy. But, I believe it will prove to be helpful and I believe I can help you. I handle all my clients with the greatest level of care by looking at the many aspects of their situations including emotional, social, physical health, relationships and personal goals so that I may help to promote meaningful and successful life changes.

Accepting new clients now!! I work with clients who are ready to take charge in their lives and work towards improvements. Clients who realize that sometimes in life we need a little extra help to manage tough situations. I like working from a strengths perspective in order to help clients create goals and reach them with a set of new skills mixed with ones they already have. I want to help clients to take those next steps forward in order to make themselves happier and healthier in all aspects of life.

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 not easy being young, I know, I have been there. It can be painful when no one will listen or care about your problems, they have their own. As a native of Baltimore City, graduate of Baltimore City Schools and a retired Counselor of Baltimore City Schools, I believe I have the expertise to help others conquer obstacles in life. At the Gallery of Minds, we will listen and care. You'll learn how to cope and overcome peer pressure, bullying, anger, depression, trauma and more. If this sounds like the place for you or your child, feel free to contact me.

Becoming your best self, managing natural life transitions, and staying on top of daily stressors takes work. I seek to create a safe, trusting environment where you feel free to share honestly and receive genuine feedback. We will explore patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviors in order to establish improved ways of being and relating to others. Through our work together, you will achieve a better understanding of yourself, helping you to alleviate distress and develop more satisfying relationships.

“Meet people where they are before you take them where they need to go.” That is my core approach to counseling and I look forward to building a collaborative relationship with you. If you are facing problems in everyday living, emotional needs, constant conflict with people, or facing more severe life experiences such as trauma, reach out so we can speak. The benefit of counseling is knowing you are not alone. And remember, You’re not in the past, the past is in you.

If your are suffering from anxiety, panic attacks, OCD symptoms, depression, or the effects of a psychological trauma, you may have been looking for help for a long time. Maybe you have been drinking or engaging in other forms of self-medication. Maybe someone close to you has encouraged you to get help, or maybe your problems have become so unbearable that you realize its time to seek help. Maybe you have seen other professionals, but are still unsure of your diagnosis and can't see a path forward. Maybe you have tried medication and didn't get help there either. You need real help.

Life can be relentless and present challenges that feel overwhelming. It takes strength to ask for help and courage to become vulnerable with someone new. I recognize this and will work at your pace to form a trusting relationship with you where you can feel safe, validated, and respected. I have experience working with teens and adults who find themselves worrying about the future or things they cannot control. I have worked with people who are processing past hurtful and stressful life events so they can find a sense of strength and security in the present. I enjoy helping people see their worth so their self-talk transforms.

With over 14 years of experience counseling individuals in their time of need, I’ve learned a lot about what is helpful and what can make the difference in the life of someone through counseling. The most central ideas in my work are 1. People are doing the best that they can…but people can change their own response and alter their environment to bring about change in their life. 2. With support, clients can develop skills necessary to address their concerns and solve their problems. 3.Change is constant and it is important to work within what is in your control.
