Christian Therapists in Frederick, MD
I am a birth trauma therapist who provides EMDR therapy in person and virtually. I am passionate about helping women who have gone through a complicated pregnancy or birth, process their birth story and connect back to themselves. If you experienced an emergency c-section, NICU separation, pre-eclampsia, or your birth did not go as planned in a significant way, then your story matters. Using therapies like EMDR, I can help you heal from a traumatic birth, move through what happened, and finally feel more regulated, present, and at peace.

I believe that you should feel comfortable with the therapist you choose and hopeful about the therapy. When you feel this way, therapy is more likely to have a positive outcome. Please allow me to describe how I see therapy. I use a cognitive behavioral approach, which is based on the idea that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors, not things such as people, situations, and events. I am a firm believer that we can change the way we think, feel, and act even if the situation does not change. Today you are one step closer to a new "you" where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being.

Things have a way of not working out the way they we thought they would. The stories of our lives begin in the families we are given with all of their foibles and experiences. Pages that become chapters of pain, trauma or loss can engulf the one that feels trapped in the narrative. After a plot twist of epic proportions, I left a 16-year career in the intelligence community and began a new chapter. I’ve had to confront the sources, rewrite the narrative, consult the author and find myself in the pages. The refinement process can be a horrific one but in the truth, freedom is found. Together, we can find healing.

Clients often come to me feeling stuck in patterns they can’t explain—overthinking, ruminating, obsessing and anxiety.
In our work together, we don’t just manage symptoms—we understand the root patterns driving them. Using a structured, evidence-based approach, I help you build awareness, emotional stability, and the clarity needed to make aligned decisions in your life.
Most clients begin to feel a shift within the first few weeks—not just in symptom relief, but in how they think, choose, and show up in their relationships and life.

I know first-hand the twists and turns life can take. I have a deep understanding of the challenges individuals, couples, families, and children face on a daily basis. Life's often overwhelming demands can result in anxiety, depression, and other unhealthy ways of managing stress. I desire to work with clients to help empower them through identifying and conquering patterns of negative thoughts and behaviors while working toward developing a healthy, balanced lifestyle that everyone deserves to have. You will be provided a safe and caring environment where you are able to learn and grow without concern of feeling judged.

I believe that everyone can get stuck or lost or find ourselves using behaviors/thought patterns that ultimately make things worse and make us feel bad about ourselves. I have spent 35 years in behavioral health, helping people discover and become their "best" and healthy selves. Present problems, past hurts or even diagnoses don't have to define us or take over our lives. Problems can be solved, hurts transformed, diagnoses understood and skills learned; pain can be transformed into resilience. A wise person once told me, "As long as you are alive, there is hope." I believe that and offer you the opportunity to find a new way.
