Feeling depressed, anxious or lost in your life? Struggling to find happiness? Having behavioral issues with children at home and in school? I work with adults, children and families specializing in depression, anxiety, self-esteem, adjustment issues, as well as household strife and behavioral issues.

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.

I am therapeutic, but to the point. I work with my clients to understand their strengths, as well as to learn to modify their behaviors and thought processes to obtain more effective and desired outcomes. I am nationally certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and am extensively trained in RO-DBT. I have significant experience working with adolescents and adults with personality disorders, anxiety, mood, trauma, and psychotic disorders. Additionally, I have experience working with First Responders and Military/Veterans as well as their families.

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 am a good listener and always give my clients' goals priority. I have a gentle touch and have been known to share a laugh with my clients on occasion. 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.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Maryland and have recently become a credentialed Board Approved Supervisor. For the last several years, I have been advocating for and with people struggling with mental health concerns. As a strength based, person-centered clinician, meeting an individual’s needs in crisis, mental illness, substance abuse, trauma, and other similar stressors, I am well prepared to work side-by-side with my clients and help guide them through the often confusing processes leading toward success.

All of us encounter ups and downs in living our lives whether a bump in the road or a life-long challenge in which ongoing guidance is needed. I can help you understand why you are struggling; and more importantly, guide you to changes which will lead to more pleasure and productivity in your everyday life. More today than ever, we are finding that trauma – large and small is at the core of our difficulties. I am a graduate of the Ferentz Trauma Institute out of Baltimore with experience in EMDR and EFT Tapping.

My goal throughout our time together is to first create a space where the client feels comfortable and empowered to explore his/her emotions. In doing so, I help individuals identify the things that are most affecting their mental health and work collaboratively with clients to develop healthy habits that will positively affect one’s life. Sessions will include talk-therapy, reflection, and the development of healthy coping skills using a client-centered model. I hope to make each client feel as though their mental health is a priority and that they are worthy of clarity and happiness.

Over my forty-five year career I have worked with many different people of every race, age, and problem type. I listen with a supportive, trained ear, and help my clients find the best coping strategies that will enable them to be happier. Even if only one person is in my office, I see that person as part of their family system, and help them make positive changes that will increase good feelings and reduce conflict. Nearly everyone goes through a rough period in their life when psychotherapy could be helpful for getting back on track.

Be encouraged! In the span of everyone's life there are "Kairos Moments," moments of decision, moments of action, moments of change - destiny changing opportunities. Life presents challenges. Are you stuck in a cycle of emotional turmoil; grappling with grief; weighed down by worry; racking your brain, trying to handle a relationship problem, with a family member, friend or co-worker? In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer professional service, proven methods and personalized approaches to address your individual need. Together we'll work to take hold of "Life-Changing Moments," and position you to attain your goals and live life to the fullest.

There are times in life when we can feel overwhelmed. During this time, we may need to find a place of support. I work with both individuals and couples. Our work focuses on changing co-dependent behaviors, creating healthier coping skills, and having better communication.

Our lives are complicated and often stressful, necessitating juggling multiple roles, responsibilities and internal as well as external conflicts. Clients may be dealing with so many challenges, including depression, anxiety, eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia, binge-eating), relationship problems, career uncertainty, family conflicts. Whatever the issue, the important factor is the willingness to face it and bring energy to working on it. The work we do in psychotherapy is both nurturing and stretching and opens the door to the possibility of growth and change .
