To be human is to feel great joy, as well as have times of pain. Sometimes along the way, we may need support to address and re-balance the difficult and joyful aspects of our daily life. I listen closely to the needs and experiences of each individual and support his or her unique ability to heal. I believe that each of us has the intrinsic capacity to recognize how to grow in a healthy way. My approach to treatment is grounded in the belief that each person possesses innate, inner resources that they can use to heal, grow, and thrive.

Our aim is to help you gain clarity about the underlying causes of problems, provide strategies to help you cope and empower you to trust your inner voice and live each day authentically.

The mere thought of therapy can be daunting, while in actuality most of us ask for advice from those around us everyday. What makes therapy different from asking a coworker, friend or relative for their advice, is my approach to therapy. I believe therapy is allowing you the space to work out issues, the space to feel free and learn about yourself in new ways. Therapy is looking at your thoughts and behavioral patterns for maximum effectiveness to your desired goals. My approach is best summed up in a quote by Benjamin Franklin, “There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one’s self.”

You are exactly where you should be! Something within has let you know that you are ready, with the idea of no mistakes just opportunity; opportunity to take a chance in yourself.

Questioning thought patterns that create belief systems, and ultimately negative life patterns. I provide different techniques to overcome current and past hurdles that are preventing happiness, fulfillment in life and being your authentic self.

Now Accepting New Clients! Licensed as an LCSW-C in Maryland, Texas, Virginia, Colorado, Nevada, South Carolina, Vermont and Florida. Decades of practice have me well-poised to support you in releasing the struggles of an eating disorder, finding healing in parenting, embracing an ADHD or Autism spectrum diagnosis, and grieving having lived years without proper diagnosis. I can compassionately and powerfully hold space for you to redefine your relationship to substance use, depression and anxiety.

People settle, for things in their lives they don’t really like, that they feel powerless to change. I work with both the conscious and unconscious aspects, sometimes indirectly, in ways that engender changes on both of these levels. I enable and empower my clients to open up to new directions and possibilities, to new ways of feeling, doing, and being.

Late afternoon and evening appointments are available now! Are you feeling anxious? Lonely? Depressed, stuck and scared to move forward? Having difficulties communicating your emotions and needs?
