Are intimacy challenges holding you back from the deep connections you deserve? Whether it's in your relationship with yourself, your partner, or your family, emotional wounds can quietly erode intimacy, leaving you feeling disconnected or unfulfilled. These challenges are often normalized, but healing is possible!

Life can be a challenging journey. How are you at navigating the bumps in the road? Do you have the skills you need? Are you feeling disappointed in yourself and often frustrated with others? Is it challenging for you to express your needs in ways that you feel heard? When you are upset or frustrated, have you pushed others away, sabotaging relationships? Is it difficult to set and achieve goals? Understandably, frustrations intensify when efforts are unsuccessful. If you have thought "life will get easier when ..." and you are still waiting at a long red light, let's talk.

Do you love hanging out with your partner but feel more like roommates than anything else? Honestly, it's easy for the honeymoon phase to end and "real life" to take over. And unfortunately real life isn't that sexy. Work demands, kids who always need you and different preferences when it comes to your sex life. Even if you're a good communicator in general, it can be hard to talk about intimacy in a way that actually improves things. And then add in the fact that none of us were taught about pleasure and desire in any sort of helpful, constructive way. Of course the sexy spark you once had is going to fade at some point.

I only offer video therapy sessions. Text me at 410-804-1934 to be added as a client. II have expertise in the integration of Eastern and Western psychotherapies with modern psychodynamic principles, Non-Dual approaches, and contemplative and meditative practices. This approach encompasses a holistic approach. It is my experience that a persons deeper beliefs (what I call Meta-principles) determine life experiences. It is my belief and practice that we are more than our limited thinking minds.

At One Heartt, we understand that seeking mental health care often comes after a long period of coping, pushing through, or caring for everyone else first. You may be experiencing burnout, navigating neurodiversity, managing grief or trauma, coping with anxiety or depression, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself. We believe your experiences deserve to be met with compassion, skill, and respect. Our care is grounded in safety, dignity, and trust, creating a space where you are not rushed, judged, or reduced to a diagnosis, but supported as a whole person with a meaningful and valid story.

Your "Invitation to A Journey" (Baudelaire inspired title) is a journey to your subconscious realm. I practice a therapy model that I copyrighted: "Psychoanalysis Redesigned (PsyR) – Freud a Misunderstood Scientist". It re-introduces selected Freudian concepts while incorporating other therapy dynamics or creating one for you. If necessary, sexuality, a misunderstood Freudian concept, is adapted to today lifestyle. Inner peace, personal life satisfaction & social integration are the purpose of PsyR. Messages from our subconscious open the door to real healing, in contrast to temporary healing. Are you ready? Let's find out together

I enjoy working with individuals who seek to live happier, healthier lives and recognize that change can only happen by trying something new. Each of us has the power to create better lives for ourselves simply by changing the way we relate to ourselves. Many people never learned as children how to cope with stress and negative emotion. But this is a skill that can be learned in adulthood and that can pave the way for greater happiness throughout our lives. The ultimate goal is to prioritize your well-being and care for yourself by noticing and responding to your thoughts and feelings with compassion and validation.

I’m here to listen with compassion and help you find your way forward.

Life is a field of unlimited possibilities. Are you ready to begin exploring? I believe we are all here to help one another learn and grow. I would be honored to be a part of your journey. I specialize in anxiety disorders because this is an area that I know intimately. I once had really bad anxiety and panics attacks. I learned to overcome them and they are now a distant memory.

We are convinced we have a problem. We're focused on it, worried about it, and it often feels like it defines us. These problems tend to show up or worsen during life and relationship transitions. Attending to what isn't working, as well as being intentional about addressing these problems, is necessary for change. Easily overlooked though, are the jewels - the opportunities hiding behind those problems. Psychotherapy provides a safe space for growth opportunities - offering compassion to those parts of ourselves we don't like or shame us, while allowing for the fluidity, flexibility and movement required for transformations.

My 40 plus years in the mental health field have been shaped by my work in two major areas: thirty years working in a psychiatric hospital, and my on-going private practice . These two defining experiences have brought to me an awareness of the enormous resiliency of the human spirit and mind and of the capacity for everyone to achieve change in their lives. Sometimes the change is massive, sometimes it is less major, but not necessarily less important. Sometimes that change may require developing a whole new perspective on life or relationships, while at others it may only involve looking at a problem from a different angle.

Sometimes people come to therapy because something big happened. More often, it is quieter than that. You may feel stuck, unsure, or more reactive than you want to be. Maybe your confidence is not where it used to be. Maybe you are constantly second-guessing yourself. Maybe you are holding everything together, or maybe you feel like you are barely keeping up.

I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the central component to successful psychotherapy and I bring special attention to the ongoing process of relational safety. I also believe that self-harmful behaviors always have roots in past experiences of threat and it can be life-changing to discover these connections. I work to help individuals establish goals, explore their experiences, gain self-awareness, develop resources and skills, cultivate self-compassion, and find greater self-empowerment so they can create a more fulfilling and meaningful life for themselves.

If you have been struggling with a health concern such as pain, insomnia, or GI distress, you may feel demoralized by the limitations of medical treatments for many health issues. You may not know that psychotherapy is an effective treatment for a number of medical conditions. As a clinical health psychologist, I specialize in chronic illness, chronic pain, disorders of brain-gut interaction (DGBIs), health anxiety, insomnia, and stress related to navigating the health care system. Therapy can help you to quiet the brain’s natural threat response to symptoms, foster resilience, and embrace life once again.

You’ve been carrying a lot. Maybe you’re anxious, low, or stuck in habits that help you get through the day but leave you feeling even farther from yourself. Maybe you’ve lost your spark, or feel a quiet kind of sadness that’s hard to explain. You might not know what you need yet, only that something has to shift. This is a soft place to land, no judgment, no pressure, just real conversation and room to breathe. I’ll listen closely to what feels unfinished or strained, and help you find your way back to something steadier, more meaningful, and genuinely yours. I work with individuals, couples, and groups.
