Your best efforts to improve your connection with your partner or with your family only seem to make things worse. You feel unheard, unseen, unloved, ineffective, and you wonder if the people you love so much care about you at all. Loneliness, frustration, and a gloomy view of the future have replaced the aliveness you used to feel. Or perhaps grief has made a home in your heart and no matter what you do you cannot move on from the pain. Or maybe you have lived through events that left you feeling as if something in you changed forever, as if the best of your life is gone and you will never experience true joy again.

I have been in private practice for 19 years in Columbia Maryland, and provide individual, couple and group psychotherapy to adults and adolescents. My personal philosophy has always been to be of service to others. I have created a process to bring in to conscious awareness patterns of limiting beliefs and blockages in a place where healing and personal growth can flourish in an environment that is safe, confidential and free of judgement. The journey to the authentic self is one that requires courage, determination, self-reflection and unconditional love of yourselves.

Starting with a new therapist can be a daunting experience for those who have never done it before and even for those who have.

Taking these first steps can be hard and I seek to make this process easier and less daunting for you.
