Are you noticing behavioral or emotional changes in your child or teenager? Is he not following the rules? Is she consistently angry or frustrated?

ARE YOU READY TO WORK OUT? When working on our "outer" body, we tend to neglect our "inner body" including our mental health. Why not take care of your WHOLE body? At SMR Counseling Services, we get your mental health in shape. We work one-on-one with clients acting as "personal mental health trainers" which allows us to respond to the unique needs of each individual.

I would love to work with people interested in putting work into themselves in a perfect world. That means trying new things and working hard to achieve their own therapeutic goals with me as an accomplice. I am a professional that needs and goals matter to me. If I am not the right fit, I will tell you that I am not the expert you need or want. I will strive to research anything I need to serve you best if I can be what you need. I desire never to stop learning and growing as a professional, including learning for the people I spend their and my valuable time serving.

My approach is to help you to maximize your wellness and functionality. Life happens – chronic illness and pain, infertility, divorce, etc. My goal is to help you adjust to your new ‘normal’ and to restore your mental health to a place where you can cope and function effectively regardless of circumstances. Using a variety of therapies and relaxation and stress management techniques, the goal is to have you incorporate these "coping skills" in daily life with the goal of autonomy and self-reliance.

I am an experienced therapist having worked with a diverse range of clients and struggles. Prior to focusing on my private practice, I was the director of an inpatient treatment center with the State of Maryland. My therapeutic focus includes working with adults, teens and couples who struggle with anxiety, depression, addictive issues or relational strain. I'm confident and dedicated to helping you reach your desired goals.
