We all suffer, but most suffering is not necessary. We develop habits to cope with suffering, but then find we are stuck repeating patterns that no longer serve us. Creating a safe, stable, and trusting environment, we can non-judgementally perceive where we are stuck and have the courage to let go of unhealthy thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We are then able to grow in new ways that allow for gentleness, peace, and joy.

Do challenges with your partner or spouse keep coming up over and over again, with no end in sight? Are you struggling to move forward after the death of your baby? Do you keep having the same issues in relationships? Challenges are a fact of life, but they can be overcome successfully. Moving forward successfully after a loss— even the loss of a child— is possible. Whether your challenges stem from relationships, bereavement, or other issues like anxiety and depression, you can break the cycle of chaos and pain, reach your goals, and have the life you desire— because you deserve it!

Signs of narcissism often go unseen. I help otherwise successful adults who unwittingly find themselves in a relationship with a narcissist. Most people exhaust all resources trying to "fix" the relationship before they realize they are dealing with a situation quite distinct from the typical challenges relationships face. Understanding this distinction is critical to navigating forward safely and effectively. If it feels like your partner is rarely satisfied, shifts blame to you and others, refuses to change, and takes no accountability, you may be in a relationship with a narcissist.

When you enter through the journey of motherhood, there are often feelings of uncertainty, guilt, frustration, confusion, anxiety, and sadness. This rollercoaster of emotions is common, but does not have to be your long term experience of motherhood. Many of the moms I meet with are searching for a place where they can feel validated, but also want actionable steps they can use to improve their thinking patterns (negative self talk, self doubt, inner critic, intrusive thoughts), and their also manage their feelings about becoming a mom. You deserve to feel better and feel confident as a mom!

I have practiced in a wide variety of clinical settings, both in-patient and out-patient, and have taught in the Psychology Department at College of Notre Dame of Maryland. My experience has covered many diverse populations such as seniors, families, adults, and couples.

My approach to therapy is creative and collaborative. I believe each individual – no matter their age or gender identity – is unique and should have a therapist who is genuine, practices unconditional positive regard, and has empathic understanding. In session, I will approach the client where they are and with what they may currently be experiencing. My approach starts with building a positive, warm, and trusting relationship. This will provide a foundation of support, encouragement, and connection, and after that the work can truly begin. I do not expect a client to work harder in our relationship than I am willing to do myself.

There are three type of people that I LOVE to help: Parents who are at their wits end with their kids, young adults who are resentful/angry with their family and pregnant/postpartum folks who are undergoing an identity shift.
