Elders (65+) Therapists in Crofton, MD

I love what I do as a psychologist and have enjoyed working with many different people. While my profile reflects some populations and treatments I've had more experience with, I won't narrow down my list of preferred clients because I don't have such preferences. Whom ever walks into my office always has something that I can connect to & see an opportunity for change. In addition, I know that the person who presents for therapy with a certain set of concerns may reveal to be a different person with different sets of concerns as sessions progress. The bigger variable is whether I'm the right fit for you. Hopefully I will be.

You've taken an awesome first step towards a happier healthier you, congratulations. Over the past several years I've provided counseling and treatment support to individuals, groups, parents, families, and children through adulthood who have experienced trauma. Through working with this resilient population, I've gained a wealth of knowledge in early childhood trauma and its reverberating effect on one’s life, and relationships shared with others. This understanding assists with providing services to adults who've experienced trauma at an early age, who may still be attempting to reconcile past pain.

I enjoy working with individuals and couples who have a desire to improve their quality of life through personal growth and behavior change. I utilize evidenced-based and best practices to address the underlying factors of an emotional problem, regardless of what emotions are most distressing to you - anxiety, anger, depression, shame, loss, distrust, guilt. I am here to assist you in your journey for improved health and well-being.
