I believe that every human is inherently good and worthy. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, or major life transitions, I am here to help you rediscover the goodness inside of you. I work with women and couples to help them get to know the important parts of themselves and how those parts might be making it difficult for them to be their truest selves.

One of the hardest things a parent can experience is watching his or her child struggle with difficult emotions and relationships. If you find your child is increasingly sad, overwhelmed, frustrated, worried or angry, you are not alone. I have over 20 years of experience working with children, parents and adults in both education and counseling. I use play therapy for children between the ages of 3 and 12 as a powerful tool for processing cognitive, behavioral and emotional challenges. I also work with parents to provide creative parenting strategies, connection and support.

Many of my clients are feeling better with better weather! So I have a few openings this summer. If you're feeling stuck and want help sorting things out, I'd be glad to offer a phone consultation free of charge. My ideal client is looking to process, find clarity and move forward. Typically we explore relationship issues, life's direction, sense of self, and new coping strategies. I'm here first to listen as an unbiased partner, and to help you through confusing or otherwise unhelpful thoughts/feeling patterns that might be obstacles in your path to self-acceptance, health, joy, and well-being. Now is a great time to get started!

I assist individuals with goals toward self improvement, through difficult life circumstances such as loss, and instilling hope when hope seems lost. Together we will work on ways to increase self esteem, self worth, and a positive outlook on life. I can include art therapy in sessions, to help open doors for those who may struggle with communicating emotions verbally, and can provide further insight into expression that words cannot do alone.

At some point, most of us come to a point in our lives where we feel stuck. You might be at this point right now. You've tried everything you can think of to shift things, but nothing seems to be working. The gap between where you want to be and where you actually are can cause great pain. I help people Get Unstuck, Live Better and Move Forward. I do this through various experiential therapies that utilize EMDR, Creativity and Movement.

I think we all consider therapy for different reasons, but when we book the appointment and then actually show up, it’s because we hold at least a tiny bit of hope that talking to a therapist might help us feel better. I have been a therapist for nearly 10 years. Much of the work I have done was at Johns Hopkins University where I specialized in maternal mental health including depression, anxiety, and OCD for women going through infertility, planning for or experiencing pregnancy, were recently postpartum, or had experienced a pregnancy loss. I offer telehealth appointments in Indiana and Maryland.

Marriage can push us to the limit. Connection and friendship are the foundation of a happy relationship, however, connection is easier said than done. Couples easily get stuck in repeating the same arguments that never seem to go anywhere. Pain from the past, depression or anxiety, disappointment, and broken relationships often hold us captive and keep us from connecting with the ones we love. I work with my clients to break these destructive cycles and help them learn to love others and themselves well. Don’t settle for the status quo. Let me help you and your spouse unlock the emotional connection you have always wanted.

I believe in our innate capacity to grow and heal. Sometimes we need a little help along the way. I support that process with compassion, acceptance, and respect. I am most passionate about working with those struggling with relational or complex trauma, attachment issues, self-worth, shame, addictions, and parenting. The challenging journey of parenthood is an amazing opportunity to heal ourselves, to love and parent from a calm and centered place, and to raise children who thrive. I also enjoy working with children, and believe that through play is how they best learn, grow, and heal, in relationship with safe, loving adults.

You experience feeling lost, overwhelmed and anxious. You wonder why others seem to “have it together,” when your life seems hard and exhausting. You want to feel connected to yourself and your loved ones again, to have energy, and to experience a joy-filled life. Furthermore, you want to stop putting on a happy face for others and really laugh. You want to transform your life, but are unsure of what the next step should be? Working together we will find the reason you are feeling this way and address those reasons getting you back to the place of true joy.

If you are searching for a safe and supportive space where you can explore and process painful experiences, change damaging behaviors, and create new ways of acting and relating, then look no further. Do you experience any of the following: grief, sadness, or shame that just won’t go away; struggle with an inability to stop binge shopping, eating, drinking, gambling, gaming or using social media; have crippling fears and “what if” thoughts that prevent you from doing the things you really want to do; or get triggered and leap into fight, flight, freeze or shut down for no clear reason?

Welcome to the start of your recovery journey. You may be feeling as though you’re alone and nobody else could possibly understand how you feel. Perhaps you’ve done therapy before and are going through another wave of pain. Depression, anxiety, grief/loss, relationship issues, distressing memories, constant negative mood, and avoiding problems may be just a few issues you’re struggling to overcome. I’m so glad you’re open to self-discovery and to work through these challenges.

In a world where most people wear masks, it's a privilege to see a soul. This is how I see my role as your therapist. To see past your pain and help you uncover your true inner light. It can be exhausting to feel like you've tried it all and keep getting the same results. While on the outside, you seem to have it together, on the inside, you're dealing with a tornado. You've tried to set goals, but your mind is too scattered to be consistent. All you really want is to feel connected to your true self, your purpose, and to feel joy again.

Women's Issues Therapists
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
