My job is to meet people where they are at and find the things that they are struggling with. Then as a team, we can work together to formulate plans for the future and finding what makes an individual passionate and reenergized about life. I believe in working on the whole person and putting things in place to create balance with their mind-body-social connections.

What is your story? Stories sometimes define who we are and who we think we are. Stories come in all shapes and sizes, joy, sadness, confusion, fear, doubt, anxiety, and anger. Often stories get stuck in a painful place, an unknown place, or a confused space. How do you navigate that? Hand in hand with me as your guide.

Life today is difficult with all the demands placed on us by our family, work and our own need to achieve. Add to this the emotional stress of family conflict, divorce, defiant children, an illness or death in the family, and you begin to understand why more and more people are seeking the help of mental health professionals.

Add to this the emotional stress of family conflict, divorce, defiant children, an illness or death in the family, and you begin to understand why more and more people are seeking the help of mental health professionals.
My areas of expertise include working with children and adolescents, particularly those experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder,and general behavior difficulties.
I received my PhD in both Clinical and School Psychology and worked for 2 years as a School Psychologist on the Eastern Shore before starting my private practice.
My clinical training is in cognitive and behavior therapy. I help adolescents develop positive problem solving skills, which replace their current negative ways of coping.
I also counsel adults with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, survivors of abuse, and obsessive-compulsive disorders.

Very often, our lives can begin to overwhelm what we are able to handle on our own. In these times it can be very easy to begin feeling lost, out of control, or simply out of ideas. I have made it my focus to be able to help people not only identify what is happening in these situations, but helping clients develop skills and personal strength which will help them be able to deal with these struggles in an ongoing fashion.

Accepting NEW Clients! I have been a social worker for more than 30 years. I feel honored to do this work. It has been my experience that everyone wants and needs to feel loved. We want love from our parents, love from our partners and love from our friends. When we believe that we don't have love we look to find substitutes.(ie. money, substances, food, material things) Nothing we try to "do" makes us feel fulfilled. They last for a short time and then the feeling of unrest comes again. It is an endless cycle of looking and not finding the love we desire. You have always been loved and worthy.

If you are someone who is experiencing inertia, confusion, emotional exhaustion, burnout, frustration, or anything similar to these in any area of your life, exploring the root causes of these symptoms and more profoundly understanding your own natural rhythms and "recipe" for health, combined with the latest data and research, will help you gain much needed insight as well as a formula, of sorts, that will guide you toward better understanding about how to turn things around. My therapeutic approach is integrative, holistic & multifaceted. I believe that our emotions, health, relationships, and circumstances are all interconnected.

If you are struggling with frequently feeling unheard, frustrated, resentful, exhausted, overwhelmed, burnt out, anxious or angry, you have likely been struggling for some time. Do you feel that your partner is either too needy or avoids everything and you get so frustrated? Are you tired of nagging pointlessly? Do these challenges cause you to lose sleep at night and a need to find relief? These scenarios are your emotions and logic not adding up, therefore causing discomfort which is so common. In working on big picture issues by changing small, manageable behaviors or thoughts you can find that inner peace you are trying to find.
