"Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it"- Hellen Keller Life can be overwhelming and difficult for a multitude of reasons. When faced with these times, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and isolated. I am here to remind you that you don't have to go through life's challenges alone! I welcome the opportunity to join your journey towards healing and growth.

"Art can permeate the very deepest part of us, where no words exist" -Eileen Miller. I believe in the creative process as a powerful tool for facilitating self-expression, self-discovery, and self-fulfillment by integrating one's physical, mental, spiritual, and emotional health. I incorporate a variety of modalities, such as Art Therapy (no prior art training necessary), Play Therapy, and Sand Tray Therapy, into sessions while honoring each client's individual strengths and needs. My experience working with those emotionally distressed and my training in trauma theory supports my belief in every person's innate capacity for healing

Does your child struggle with stress and anxiety? Is it difficult for him or her to make positive choices, manage emotions or perform in school? Teenagers and young adults face unique challenges in life, and it can be very overwhelming for them and you, the parent. I work with adolescents and young adults, ages 12-25, to help them understand stress and anxiety. We work together to overcome their obstacles and self-doubts; helping them focus on building positive thinking and behaviors to achieve their life goals.

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.
