Columbia, MD 21044
I have a Virtual ONLY dynamic practice in MD and VA. The most important component of therapy is listening deeply to my clients. I specialize in ANXIETY issues: GAD, OCD, specific phobias, and social anxiety. Other specialties are healing past hurts, codependency and addictions for adults; helping families to separate/divorce; children/adults with ADD/ADHD, ASD, and/or learning disabilities, creative arts healing, and spirituality healing. Ages 5 -105 are welcome. I feel privileged to offer support and healing. I'm an out-of-network provider. I offer some discounted rates. I’m in network through Headway, see insurances listed below.
Currently, I am open to receiving new clients on a waitlist. I work with clients of all ages who have issues of anxiety, depression, spirituality, and general mental health. Puppet therapy is available for adults, children, and groups (see website). My PhD combined psychology with spirituality. Sharing spiritual issues is welcomed, not required.
I have had the privilege to witness many people finding freedom, some even more than could have been imagined. I create/ training for therapists/educators through Ferentz Institute, CBPS (Play therapy), and my Institute. I taught courses & supervised MS & Ph.D. clinical interns at Loyola University. I am a Supervisor for LCPC's in MD. I love mentoring!

The issue of inner pain is the first one I hear. Whether it be anxiety, depression, ADD, trauma, codependency, divorce, spirit or more, I listen. We gently plan together for the experiment of trying something different than the painful response. If you choose to stay on, and you believe I can be of service to you, I'll believe in you, and we can "walk together"on a journey to your freedom!

I use CBT, EFT, and DBT to help organize what is happening to you regarding thinking, feeling, and behaving. I love the Expressive Arts Therapy if you are open to trying art, music, puppetry, etc, for your healing. For trauma, I often use EMDR and EFT. I ask people to move toward their strengths through positive psychology. I engage people with their bodies through self-compassion and meditation.
