When life throws “one-thing-after-another” at you the struggle wears on us. Our relationships suffer, conflicts can occur, communication may shut down, and we become more isolated and feel alone. When this happens, you become overwhelmed, anxious, depressed and mentally-emotionally paralyzed at times. The constant stress makes it hard to stay motivated and focus on what’s important. You question all your decisions, big and small, and even simple things in life feel hard. You feel numb and stuck, blocked by feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, when all you really want is to enjoy life, get balanced again and be at peace.

Transition in any form is something that I love to focus on, because with transition, comes growth.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. I want to help you achieve whatever solutions and life changes you are looking for while enjoying the therapeutic process as much as possible and experiencing yourself in new ways.

My hope is that you take this leap of faith and see how I can best support you. We can only do the best that we can.

In working with families and individuals, I use both traditional psychotherapies such as positive psychology, psychodynamic techniques, and cognitive and behavioral therapies. In addition, I am trained in mind/body techniques such as EMDR and hypnosis. I also believe in the healing connections we make with nature and will often use pet therapy in assisting my clients to reach their goals.

For many parents, mealtime can be frustrating, especially if challenging behavior goes beyond ‘typical pickiness.’ As the director of Healthy Beginnings, a behavioral feeding therapy program, I have helped children that have displayed a variety of challenging mealtimes behaviors. This includes selectivity by food, color, brand, and texture, as well as children who may vomit at the sight of a new food, or perhaps refuse to feed themselves with utensils. Feeding tube dependency is another area in which I have taught children how to eat and drink who perhaps have had minimal or no experience with oral feeding.

Do you feel like you can never catch a break and keep getting knocked down by difficult situations in life like a job you are unsatisfied with, a relationship that doesn't meet your needs, or other curve balls thrown at you? Do you see other people leading full and satisfying lives and wish you could be one of them? Have you thought about doing therapy but don't see the point? Or maybe you have tried it and didn't get much out of it, or didn't like your therapist. Regardless of what it is you are going through, you are NOT ALONE!

I'd like to meet you, if you have been putting off finding a therapist to address your mental health needs during this unsettling and unsettled time.

I have provided therapeutic support to children, teens, families, couples and individual adults in practice since 1987. My office is in Columbia, Maryland in a building that is handicapped accessible, is near a bus stop, and is a short walk to Columbia Mall. I have hours during the day, in the evening, and Saturdays.

The bad news is that anxiety and depression can show up in different ways and at different times because we’re all different people. Difficulty communicating feelings? Struggling with low self-esteem? Physical, professional, spiritual, social, or mental self-care non-existent or going down the drain? Sometimes anxiety or depression can seem like it hits you or your child out of the blue. Many people struggle during life transitions. They find themselves experiencing fear of the unknown or difficulty making sense of the past. The good news is that you don't have to face these challenges alone.

I believe that each one of us knows exactly how to heal ourselves; however, the message gets lost inside ourselves for various reasons. I see my job as merely helping the individual attain the clarity to see for themselves the choices they've made. Once they understand the unconscious decisions that drive their behavior they can begin to make positive changes.
My style is very relaxed and interactive. I try to create an environment that feels nonjudgmental and safe; where the individual feels cared about, encouraged and empowered.

I work best with clients who are on the more more mature side, perhaps 30 years old and older. I especially like working with women in mid life going through empty nest or have children not ready to launch. I like helping couples connect where distance or conflict exists or there has been a betrayal trauma. I like working with trauma, all kinds of childhood trauma, but in more recent years I have enjoyed working with veterans and front line workers adult traumas.

Honesty. Vulnerability. Courage. If you are reading this right now you may be looking to make some positive changes in your life. It takes someone that is truly honest with themselves to reach out when they need help. It takes vulnerability to talk about it. It takes courage to follow through. Sometimes we may feel stuck in life and we come to a bridge that we need to cross. Are you looking for a therapist that is real and genuine that can assist you in crossing this bridge?

When you are looking for a therapist, that decision often comes during times of crisis. This loss of balance and connection makes it hard to make decisions or trust anyone. But as you take this first step, I will honor your trust with a relationship that is free of judgement and focused on finding your foundation. Whether you are coping with trauma, depression, stress, anxiety, life transition, relationship or marital issues, we can work together to make things better. I bring to the table a deep knowledge of a diverse set of treatment methods that allow me to tailor your therapy uniquely to your personality, challenges and life.
