Therapists in Cumberland, MD

I am an experienced therapist who finds real joy in helping one person/couple/family at a time regain control of their life, improve their situation, find a better path, or understand who they really are at the deepest levels along with core relationship patterns. I have 37 years of clinical experience and specialized postgraduate training in a variety of approaches.. Trauma is a primary specialty though I am trained to address a range of problems. I want you to feel safe and comfortable when we meet so developing a trusting relationship will be important. My style is interactive; you will decide if I'm a good fit for what you need.

Stress and trauma take a toll on our bodies both mentally and physically. Therapy can help release that energy and improve overall wellbeing. My approach to therapy is holistic, which means I focus on all of you - physical, mental, social.

I specialize in helping clients who struggle with childhood trauma and family issues, manifesting as anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges. They desire a deeper understanding of their past, effective coping mechanisms, and paths to healing. My approach, rooted in empathy and practical strategies, aims to empower them with resilience and self-awareness, guiding them towards a life of clarity, growth, and fulfillment.

Therapy can give you a safe place and the courage to share and reveal your story; to go there, not alone, but with someone who can help you understand what is happening. With expanded knowledge of yourself, you have the strength to act on intentional and personally meaningful choices. I am a catalyst for your understanding of yourself, alone and in relation to those important to you.

Are you stuck in unhelpful mind or behavior patterns, difficult times in a relationship or stressed in a way that is affecting all of the above? I believe that we all possess the resources to experience ourselves "new and improved" and move toward being the best that we can be. We know what has worked for us and what hasn't. Finding ways to make lasting changes and experience relief that is tailored to who YOU are, is my commitment to you. It will be an exciting journey into self-discovery, relief of unwanted symptoms and new confidence.

Life is a struggle. While we all have had joys to celebrate and call our own, no one escapes the slings and arrows of life's misfortunes. I believe we always respond to those misfortunes in ways we believe is best for us at the time. Sometimes we have clarity. We can proceed in a way that validates who we are and what's in our best interest. Other times, we may not know what to do or act in a way that does not turn out as well. We suffer as our past ways of handling this situation no longer fits to meet our present needs.
