My goal in therapy is to create a safe place where you can comfortably identify, process, and work through the challenges that are making it difficult to build the life you want. I work with adolescents and adults dealing with life transitions, relationship challenges, difficulties at work or school, as well as those experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress. Sometimes people come to therapy because of a specific change, event, or issue they are dealing with and other times, you may not know exactly what you're looking for but suspect having additional support could help.

Are you struggling to find fulfillment and joy in life? Are your interpersonal relationships exhausting you? Do You want your relationships to bring you a feeling of togetherness and contentment but there is too much water under the bridge? Healing from past hurts and creating meaningful, healthy relationships are the bedrock of contentment and emotional well-being. I provide EMDR to help you heal from the past and Imago couples therapy to help you develop meaningful, healthy relationships with your partner and heal from the lasting, painful impact of old pains and resentments.

We believe treatment should provide lasting benefits, lasting well beyond your time in therapy. As such, we believe successful therapy comes from fully understanding your goals and challenges. Your therapist can work with you to develop tangible skills, insight, and focused changes that can support you through a lifetime of positive growth and healing. We have expertise in helping individuals, couples, and families across the life-span address depression, anxiety, severe stress, PTSD, and prolonged grief. In addition, individual therapy can assist you in dealing with intimacy problems, relational concerns, anger issues, and poor-self esteem. We offer cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused treatment, and insight-oriented relational therapy depending on your needs and desires. Following an initial assessment with your therapist, you will help develop a treatment plan based on your goals

TELETHERAPY AVAILABLE. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, children and families who are facing a challenge and are looking for support. My experience in clinical practice allows me to assist with goal directed activities and work to achieve significant changes. A large part of my work is helping clients manage their anxiety or depression and to take concrete steps towards a more positive future. We work together to accomplish goals that the client has chosen to gain a greater understanding of themselves and their behaviors.We focus on changing relationship dynamics and learning new coping skills.

If you are anxious, depressed or struggling with a difficult situation, therapy gives you tools to reduce your distress and function more effectively. It provides you with an opportunity to look at behaviors, relationship dynamics and environmental factors which you can change to reach your goals. Therapy will also help you identify strategies to come to terms with the difficult elements in your life which cannot be changed. Psychotherapy is particularly helpful in managing relationships and adjusting to life's challenges associated with parenting, aging, illness and loss, including the death of loved ones.

I believe that my role as a therapist is to provide support for clients who have decided to enter therapy due to any number of concerns. Addressing life's many challenges can be a daunting experience. Finding the right "fit" with a therapist can prove central in attaining the most positive outcome in a therapeutic relationship. I strive to provide an environment rich in understanding and empathy while helping clients achieve personal goals and reduction of emotional symptoms such as anxiety and depression. My goal is to provide clients with a strong sense of self- awareness while building on individual strengths.

All things are possible! When feeling distressed you need someone who can objectively lead you through the obstacles that keep you stuck in a life of fear or hopelessness. My role is to provide the therapeutic skills to help you understand and resolve your problems and achieve optimal mental health and joy. I specialize in trauma, unresolved relational issues, mood, anxiety and obsessive disorders as well as recovery issues.

I offer over 30 years of extensive experience working with adults and couples with a broad range of relationship and mental health issues. I have gained the reputation of being warm, compassionate, insightful and flexible. I believe that forming trusting relationships is the basis for healing and growth. My experience and knowledge helps individuals, families and couples feel supported as they work towards achieving their goals. I use a variety of evidence based approaches and in particular I am certified in Relational Life Therapy (RLT) and Integrative Health and Nutrition for Mental Health.

TELETHERAPY AVAILABLE My ideal client is someone who is coping with anxiety, depression, chronic illness, ADHD, grief, troubled relationship and family dynamics, developmental delays, LGBTQ and trauma issues. Any of these listed conditions or situations can negatively impact my clients’ ability to navigate daily living. So a successful client would be open to change and willing to try new approaches to collaborate with me in order to identify and verbalize their needs and goals and develop a plan to obtain these goals.

You find yourself with an area or multiple places in your life that just don't work for you. This can be expressed as fear, anger, frustration, confusion, overwhelm or burnout. You know that you cannot continue this way & falling apart isn’t an option. Let me walk alongside you as you gain clarity into your internal challenges: Relationship issues, workplace challenges, entrepreneurship, self care/love, living with mood differences - anxiety, trauma, childhood trauma, neuro-divergence and care giver. When you can’t STOP doing life, I can help you find a PAUSE by connecting with practices and mindsets that will serve & support you!

I serve adults (18+) in Maryland, D.C., Virginia, and PSYPACT participating states. I believe that the aim of therapy is to assist clients in better understanding their underlying concerns, like difficulties in relating to others, struggles during life transitions, and experiences of internal and external conflict. Therapy also provides a neutral space for people to explore new and healthy boundaries while working to identify and heal painful emotional experiences, thought patterns, and behaviors.

If you struggle with depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, relationship issues or parenting challenges, I can help! I have worked with adults, couples and seniors for many years. I listen carefully and compassionately to your special needs, and consider them in the context of your experience and present situation; a holistic approach that recognizes both your current needs and their roots. Often these roots are cultural, a fact I know because my own life spans several cultures. I am committed to empowering those affected by trauma and other adverse life experiences.

I love working with couples and individuals with difficulty in romantic relationships (i.e. sexual issues, communication, infidelity, divorce), adults who come from dysfunctional childhoods, as well as those with anxiety, impulsivity, and addiction. I also enjoy working with those in non-traditional romantic relationships (i.e. ethically non-monogamous, polyamorous). I am LGBTQIA- affirming and sex positive. I work best with clients who are engaged, thoughtful, and motivated for change. My style is empathic and direct, with a sense of humor. I believe strongly in the therapeutic alliance and the client/therapist fit.

The decision to begin therapy is never easy; but it is a courageous step on your life's journey. Our current climate is fraught with uncertainty and constant change, which creates stress and anxiety in all of us. I am here to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment to help you on your journey, whether it is stress, anxiety, depression, grief or any other emotion facing you. Working together can alleviate the pressure and strain from these issues. We can face your issues, your needs and/or your goals and I am here to meet you where you are.

Sadness, depression, grief, anger, anxiety, betrayal, confusion, our relationships, and work stresses can leave us feeling lost and out of balance with ourselves and with others important to us. I have worked for 20+ yrs. with individuals and couples in Maryland and Massachusetts. I actively engage with my clients to bring about new insights, and fresh ways of thinking, feeling and behaving so a re-balance can occur. Together we work to release negative core beliefs and shift dysfunctional patterns resulting in clients' greater clarity, empowerment, peace, and satisfaction. Clients become more connected to themselves and others.

I specialize in working with families, couples, groups, and individuals. I treat children as young as three, have experience with school phobia, adoption, blended families, gender issues, gay, lesbian, and transgender individuals, and the challenges of elderly. I am experienced working with psychoses, severe post traumatic stress disorder, eating disorders, body dysmorphic disorder, and problems of every day life. I have special expertise working with the LGBTQ+ population, with adolescents, sexual development, severe mental illness, post traumatic stress disorder, and physical illnesses.
