Elderly Persons Disorders Therapists in Annapolis, MD

My years of experience and training have taught me the importance of good listening. By learning who you are and what you want in your life, I am best able to help you restore or enhance the quality of life you seek. I limit my practice to adults in individual therapy or relationship counseling. While there is no magic in therapy, there is an opportunity to feel better now, avoid future emotional pitfalls and be better able to deal with those that cannot be avoided. As a compassionate and experienced professional, I look forward to assisting you.

I have been in private practice for the past 30 years, helping individuals and couples overcome obstacles, cope with the challenges of daily life and achieve goals in their personal life. Whether facing new challenges or familiar patterns I quickly help people identify small steps that can result in significant change. I provide practical skills to promote effective communication, promote emotional awareness and recover from difficult experiences. I offer a client centered approach using various treatment modalities: CBT, DBT, MBSR, EMDR, 12 Step,, Brief Solution, Psychodynamic, Supportive and Compassion Therapies.

Are you struggling with an important relationship in your life? Misunderstandings and conflict with individuals we love and/or with whom we’re in regular contact can cause us tremendous emotional, and even physical, distress. I specialize in helping clients consider themselves and their troubled relationship through a different lens. We will focus on how the relationship is “bogging down” and help you work through distressing thoughts and feelings that come with it. We may also look at patterns of relating and communicating in the relationship, including boundary setting or lack thereof, that may benefit from some heathy tweaking.

Are past traumas causing anxiety, depression, grief, or flashbacks? Would you like to get to the source of your problems and make yourself whole? Is deeper meaning and connection in relationships important to you? Would you like to heal sexual problems and sexual trauma? I have over 33 years experience as a therapist. I am certified in EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy and Hypnotherapy, offer Trim-Life hypnosis for emotional eating, and I am trained in sex therapy. Give me a call and we can talk about what would be helpful for you.

I integrate the experience of a 39-year pilgrimage, exploring psychology and spirituality, as I guide my clients to a stronger sense of self, greater emotional clarity, interpersonal connection, and higher consciousness. Co-Founder and Director of InnerSource, A Center for Psychotherapy and Healing in Annapolis, Maryland. I enjoy working with individuals and couples. I specialize in "Voice Dialogue, Relationships, and the Psychology of Selves," a powerful modality for consciousness and transformation. I have led numerous workshops in the field of Transpersonal Psychology, the integration of psychology and spirituality. I teach meditation and integrate it into my clinical practice.

My role as a counselor is to provide an environment of safety, trust and mutual respect with the individuals that I work with. I believe that the relationship between the counselor and the individual seeking help is the most important aspect that lends to healing.

My goal is to help you feel better. I offer teletherapy or in-person therapy to help you cope with depression, anxiety, stress (including stress relating to COVID-19), relationship issues, grief, age and health related issues etc.. I have been in practice for over 27 years and have worked with all age groups in private practice as well as in sub-acute rehabilitation, memory care units, in-patient psychiatric unit, nursing home and assisted living facilities.
