My professional training is in nursing, psychology, pastoral counseling, and Jungian Psychoanalysis. This unique background gives me a holistic perspective and helps me to look beyond symptoms, focus on underlying causes, and build on inner strengths and resources. The goal is to help my clients recognize, appreciate and cultivate their inner life; to be their whole and best self! I have a diverse practice that includes people of various ages and cultures. I explore the unconscious through dreams, fantasies and imagination. I also perform Association Experiment for those who face stubborn creative blocks.

Timonium, MD 21094
I enjoy working with people. I work well with all age groups: adults, young adults, the elderly, children, adolescents and families. I am trained to adapt myself to a person's individual needs, developmental level, and pace. I consider myself an eclectic clinician, predominantly practicing Rogerian (person-centered approach incorporating humor and accurate empathy). I collaborate well with other treating professionals to provide the suitable support for a person under my care. If you are looking for a dedicated professional who will meet your or your child's needs by applying evidence-based treatment approaches, look no further!

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
