Therapists in Easton, MD

I specialize in the issues adults face as they age; this includes those struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or another chronic mental or physical illness. The challenges we face as we age can be difficult, and can include declining physical health, loss of independence, dementia, fatigue from caregiving, or issues of grief & loss. Sometimes, these challenges lead to symptoms of depression and/or anxiety. I provide psychotherapy, couples counseling, memory testing, and behavior management training to adults, older adults, and their caregivers. Call today and we will work on your challenges together!

Everyone, during various times in his/her life, goes through difficult times. You may be confused about which direction to go, how to handle change, how to parent difficult children, how to manage the care of elderly parents in addition to your own life responsibilities, and/or how to improve important relationships.

Our experience enables us to offer effective outpatient, individualized, client-focused care. We treat a number of mental health disorders, and provide a neutral ground to individuals and families while also offering a unique treatment modality of Animal Assisted Therapy.

I enjoy working with people who are ready to discover new possibilities for their lives. I use a continuum of verbal and non-verbal processing to improve relationships and free people to live richer and more satisfying lives. Carl Jung said "our goal is wholeness, not goodness". Taking a deeper look can mine less used parts and restore a balance that leads to living more from your true self. For direct contact, call 410-924-7372.

My ultimate goal is to provide a non-judgmental space that will allow you to explore your concerns in a safe, compassionate, and caring environment. I rely on the therapeutic relationship being at the crux of change for the individuals and families I work with. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, depression, post-traumatic response, relationship issues, or having difficulty adjusting to the chaos of the world, I'd be honored to help. I value working collaboratively with my clients to gain an understanding of where they are now and where they would like to be.

You just blew up at your daughter again. You’re not even sure what it was about this time, but lately, it doesn’t take much to send you over the edge. You’re simply spread too thin. If only you had some time for yourself, maybe you’d be able to solve some of these issues. But when you try to clear a little space for self-care, your inner voice tells you you’re being selfish. This cycle of shame, guilt, and exhaustion feels impossible to break free from. You wish you had the confidence to take a step back and create healthier boundaries for yourself but you just don’t know how to make a change. It all feels so totally hopeless.

I have extensive professional experience working with individuals and groups in the public mental health field as well in my private practice.I believe that symptoms of distress that bring people into treatment are signs of health. Old ways of coping are no longer working and new ways of dealing with life are needed. I help clients connect with the internal resources they need to create the lives they long for.

Ready to stop feeling frustrated with your life, your thoughts, and the people closest to you? Disappointed with therapists that haven't helped in the past? I hear you! Therapy with me is a different experience. I am a solution focused therapist with a specialty in empowering people who have experienced trauma in their lives. By trauma I mean: difficult parents, challenging relationships, and all the forms of losses that never seem to stop comming. Whatever it is... I've got you! I am a trauma certified therapist and I help my clients live the life they want to live, not the life the didn't get a choice to live.

As you maneuver through growing pains, as a child/adult you may have felt, "nobody knows what I have been through, walked in my shoes," Situations are often so tied into one another that its like a knot in a shoelace, you get on one knee, using one hand trying to get it a loose, the more you mess with it, the more tangled it becomes as you juggle other stuff. At some point we realize, I have to sit down for this, take time. Both hands are needed to pinch that knot just right. Yet, some of us don't have two hands, or time to sit down. We are worn out, our environment and/or life's demands don't allow us to unravel our stuff safely.

I'm experienced working with individuals, couples and families. I help people make the changes they want, either within themselves or in their relationships. I believe everyone has an innate ability to live to their fullest potential, but sometimes need a little help in unlocking their own internal resources. In addition to regular talk therapy, I am certified in EMDR, which is an experiential modality that allows the client to weaken neural networks that are not useful, and strengthen or install more adaptive neural networks. I am licensed to practice in 4 states. Maryland, Virginia, Washington DC, and West Virginia.

I understand the challenges an individual, couple or family face as they age; illness, dementia, declining physical health, relationship changes or the loss of a loved one. This all too often results in depression, anxiety, caregiver fatigue or a feeling of being alone or lost. Together, we work on understanding the issues at hand towards a feeling of living life, not just existing to deal with the daily grind.
