My goal at New Directions, a Clinical Psychology practice, is to assist individuals, couples, families and other groups. Issues may result from many situations, including the challenges of marriage, parenting, friendships, the workplace and others. Or, the challenge may be from being alone. The common thread for many individuals is a wish for "new directions" in life. I make every effort to work towards finding solutions. As a Clinical Psychologist in practice for over 40 years, my belief is that the decision made by individuals to seek psychological treatment is an important step in moving forward towards new directions in life.

I have worked for 40 years with people who want to find balance in their lives and who have inner turmoil and conflict in relationships, work and mind and body. I tailor our work toward the uniqueness of each individual in my practice. I utilize comprehensive Energy Psychology, other various therapeutic approaches and traditional approaches including talk therapy to treat traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, panic attacks and phobias, addictive cravings and women's developmental issues including history of sex abuse or violence, chronic pain , allergies, especially when they are memory related held in the body having evolved into physical symptoms.

"Fear lives in the head. And courage lives in the heart. The job is to get from one to the other" - Louis Penny. It is inevitable that we will be wounded during the journey of life. Many of those wounds generally heal on their own. However some wounds cut deeper. They are unable to heal themselves and leave scars causing broken relationships, anxiety, addiction, insecurity, fear, and pain . Facing these wounds can be frightening and overwhelming, especially when facing them alone. Together we find the courage and strength to face and heal these wounds.

I utilize a wholistic approach to psychotherapy. I am interested in helping families heal from disagreement, emotional pain , trauma, loss and change through the use of individual, couples, family, and group therapy. I believe that each one of us has a strong inner voice that we need to find and connect with in order to be well. When difficult feelings surface, our energy or connection to ourselves and others can become weakened and we feel drained or blocked from living to our fullest potential. I am eclectic in my approach. I seek to assist clients to understand their true potential.

I believe at some time in our lives all of us face significant challenges and problems. It is natural to seek support when you are faced with stress, trauma, communication issues, depression, addiction, coping with illness or being a caregiver. It is my hope to work with you to define the problems you face, determine your goals and work with you to make your life better. As a licensed Clinical Social Worker in Maryland I have been providing counseling to adults, couples, children and families for over 20 years.

I seek to empower each client's unique movement towards emotional and physical well-being, mindfulness, wholeness and spiritual awareness. Through encouragement, compassion and mutual respect this co-creative therapeutic process enhances each person's self-esteem, potential and growth. Together we will explore possibilities and new directions, thereby releasing stress, inner conflicts, dis-ease, self-defeating cognitions and dysfunctional relationships. Embracing change leads to feelings of joy, aliveness and at the same time peacefulness and calm.

Are you feeling stuck, anxious or discouraged? Feeling unfulfilled or overwhelmed? Are there issues from the past that seem to intrude into your present life? Do you isolate and avoid? Are you experiencing difficulties with depression, anxiety, relationships, work or sleep issues? You can find relief and move forward in your life. Looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation? Are you considering a move in a new direction?

Usually, when we're facing challenges that feel overwhelming, we crave understanding and acceptance...someone who will listen, provide support and stand side by side with us as we navigate our way through murky waters. We also long for relief from whatever is causing us pain - from harmful behaviors or confusing situations to emotions or thoughts that feel out of control. We want to feel better and to be free - free to take pleasure in the joys and triumphs of our lives and free to live our lives with the confidence that we have the tools and resources to cope with whatever pain may appear.

Life is all about relationships; the one we have with ourselves and those with others. Relationships can be messy and complicated. I find great satisfaction in helping clients move beyond the mess and find restoration. What may seem insurmountable at the time can become attainable as one heals past hurts, gains knowledge and insight and learns new skills in a supportive and encouraging environment. Much of my experiences centers on those recovering from traumatic injuries, managing chronic medical conditions and/or healing from loss.

In today's culture, we are often so focused on dealing with the many stressors of everyday life and on taking care of others, we find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, depressed, anxious and depleted. Making an appointment for therapy with me is the first step towards taking care of yourself and feeling better. In my experience, lasting change can begin to take place as you share with a therapist who will listen compassionately, join with you to understand your experience, and guide you to find and use the tools to make postive changes and create the life you want.

If something doesn't feel quite right in your life, in how you're handling important relationships, how you're coping with feelings, or how you're progressing with goals; if you feel there are parts of yourself you don't fully understand, and you ready for this to change, then we'll be a good match.
