Let's Connect (301) 710-9729

I utilize a collaborative approach with clients to help them access their own innate potential for healing. I work to facilitate a broader mental wellness repertoire of self-assistance and coping strategies for improving quality of life. I have worked effectively with a broad range of life issues and problems starting from the initial session to promote a congenial and trusting working relationship. Clients with whom I work receive the respect and validation that we all want and deserve as personal and specific goals are established to help each person develop their most fulfilling life.
I provide assessment, consultation and psychotherapy with adolescents, adults, seniors and couples. Expertise includes relationship counseling, utilization of CBT, EMDR and IFS for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder, OCD, anxiety and mood disorders including bipolar disorder and ADHD.
Many people find themselves in highly toxic relationships as they begin to feel "crazy" trying to function with a partner who is emotionally manipulative, belittling, cruel and/or has a drinking or drug problem. I facilitate managing and healing from such relationships and help rebuild a positive and empowered sense of self.
