You can be happy and healthy! I believe there is power and potential in all of us for healing and growth. Therapy can be hard work and it can also be a shelter in the storm. Together we will work through old patterns, shame, trauma, fear, insecurities, etc.. Through deepening self-awareness, compassion and acceptance, you will be able to take better care of yourself and others, set heathy boundaries, and have deeper relationships. We will work to accept and let go of what holds you back so you can live more authentically and make the most of this life. Your story has indeed shaped you but you get to decide how the rest of it goes.

I believe a client innately possesses the strengths necessary to live a happy and fulfilling life. My goal is to foster those strengths and help clients develop individualized coping strategies to take on life’s challenges. I encourage children and adolescents to explore emotions, social skills, and strengths in a safe environment. Through a therapeutic relationship with the client and their family, we can collaboratively discover the best mechanisms and treatment plans.

I practice from a person-centered therapeutic approach and focus on establishing a relationship with my clients to address their unique and specific needs. I have experience working with a diverse range of clients in my therapeutic work and always strive to understand my clients, their worldview and unique experiences and tailor therapy to meet their needs in the moment.

Are your relationships in need of an upgrade? Is it challenging for you not to think about yesterday or worry about tomorrow? Are you ready to untangle your problems and find greater enjoyment in life? I'd like to help. As a Licensed Clinical Marriage & Family Therapist, I've helped hundreds of couples create stronger more resilient relationships. My therapeutic skills are guided by a mindfulness-based approach grounded in the belief that we each have all of the internal resources needed to improve our lives and relationships. I can help you build kinder, stronger, more productive relationships with yourself and others.

I work with children and teens who are facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. I strive to create a safe, warm environment where children and teens who are having difficulties connecting with family and friends can build healthy connections. I have experience working with teens experiencing significant mental health crises in a partial hospitalization setting. I have experience working with those who are struggling with suicidal thoughts, self harming thoughts, and school anxiety.

I am a clinical social worker with a strong emphasis on the healing power of a therapeutic relationship. I take pride in my ability to create and maintain an environment tailored to each unique individual. I draw on humanistic, cognitive, and mindfulness techniques.

Now offering online counseling! At times in life, everyone can benefit from talking about what is bothering them and exploring how they want to grow or improve. Concerns might come in the form of anxiety and worry or conflict, dissatisfaction and poor communication in your marriage or other key relationships. You might also feel depressed, self critical or fearful of being judged or embarrassed. I try to help all my clients find solutions and grow inner strengths and skills that lead to more well being, emotional balance and less stress and heartache.

CURRENTLY my schedule is FULL and I am not taking new clients. You may email me to get on my wait list. I am a Somatic Experiencing Psychotherapist with a mind-body-spirit approach to healing that supports my clients to be resilient and to thrive. Whether you feel stuck, anxious, or depressed, I hold space for you to heal old wounds, connect more intimately with people you love, and feel a deeper sense of resilience and happiness. I also facilitate workshops for work teams and groups on embodied mindfulness, compassion, and leadership.

The decision to seek out a therapist is an important first step towards positively addressing conflicts, managing distress, and learning to cope with negative or overwhelming feelings. Our team of therapists bring years of therapy experience. We work with children, adolescents, adults, and families who are Deaf or come from Deaf families (includes hearing family/friends who sign). We provide a supportive, nurturing environment. We use a multimodal approach incorporating mind-body therapies with evidence-based treatments. We also offer forensic-clinical services and applied behavior analysis treatment.

Healing from trauma and other adverse experiences can seem daunting at best and impossible at worst. Everyone has strength, courage and resiliency; trauma often obscures our connection to them. It's my job to help you reconnect and grow your resiliency! I would be honored if you allow me to accompany you on your healing journey.

Learning and growth happen best within relationships of safety and trust. For this reason, creating a safe, warm, and playful environment is at the heart of my practice. I use the therapeutic relationship & evidence based practice to help children & teens overcome mental health challenges such as chronic stress, anxiety, depression and life transitions. I also provide direct therapy to the parents of young children with a focus on enhancing parent-child relationships & joyful interaction.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, confused, or have painful memories dominating your thoughts, you don’t have to continue feeling this way. By offering a safe and accepting environment, I help clients explore their identity, sexuality, spirituality, feel more at peace in their body, and release pain from the past. I work from a holistic approach integrating humanistic talk therapy with CBT and creative approaches such as play, art, music, writing, movement, and health/wellness. Each session is your space to discover helpful tools/skills to cope with the stressors of daily life and comfortably express inner thoughts and feelings.

Life can be difficult at times and things can feel overwhelming but by looking for support you have already taken the first step in your healing. It can also be intimidating to find a therapist who feels like the right fit to help you through your experiences. I believe that a strong therapist-client relationship is of utmost importance and my ideal client would be someone who is looking to take an active role in their therapy. Although you may be experiencing loss of hope, feelings of worthlessness, or loneliness, I am convinced that everyone has an opportunity for recovery.

Many of us wrestle to find hope in our lives, in moving forward, or even making it through our day. Depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, and loss can take away motivation, causing struggle and suffering. This can change. Perhaps you're determining which life path to take or are dealing with the wounds of past trauma, abuse, or painful experiences. You don't have to carry this weight alone. I provide an unbiased, nonjudgmental space for adults to explore what is hindering them and overcome obstacles in healthy, supportive ways.

I am a Maryland licensed psychologist who has been treating children, adolescents, and young adults in private practice since 2007. I provide results-oriented, compassionate care and use ethical, evidence-based practices to effectively treat various psychiatric disorders. I work closely with schools, pediatricians, and other health professionals to provide comprehensive treatment and am also available to conduct classroom observations and attend school meetings as needed to assist parents in advocating for their children's educational needs. My areas of specialty include grief/loss therapy and treatments for anxiety and OCD.

Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, infidelity in your relationship, communication problems, or life transitions, I will support you in your journey toward personal growth. I honor the important relationship between client and therapist, and recognize the privilege of being invited into your story. With a curious and non-judgmental stance, I welcome clients from all backgrounds. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families.

I believe there is an innate desire within every human to be seen and heard, and to receive value and significance. For so many, a message filled with lies was internalized, “Who cares what I think? My feelings aren't important.” My NUMBER ONE focus is to create an atmosphere where my clients feel at ease, and valued and given the freedom to tell their unique and personal story. The meaning of “Therapy” to me is this, “Therapy is the miracle of, “You tell” and “I listen”. Therapy is the wonder of being heard and understood.” The goal of therapy is for the "best you" to emerge as skills and strategies are learned and implemented.

I provide each individual the opportunity to enter their own unique path towards healing and growth. Through a safe and therapeutic relationship, individuals, couples, or families are assisted in confronting the obstacles and difficulties which have kept their lives from reaching full potential. Specialties include marriage counseling, emotional problems, life/career transitions, self-improvement and relationship issues.

I specialize in general mental health for adults, couples counseling, chronic and acute illness, athletes, and death and dying work. I have a firm belief in incorporating a holistic model of healing into my approach as a therapist, as well as cognitive behavioral therapy, client empowerment and solution oriented techniques.

"Each person is a unique individual in a different phase of their life journey". I believe that sometimes we need a collaborative partner to assist us as we deal with life's challenges in a productive way. As your therapist, I will provide an empathetic and non-judgmental style in a safe and supportive environment to assist you to work through difficult times. It is my belief that the relationship between client and therapist is fundamental to the healing process. This partnership can open one's life to new possibilities, and it would be my honor to assist you on this journey.
