I appreciate the quote, "You don't have to be sick to get better." As a solution-focused therapist, I'll work with you to identify strengths that can be applied in unique ways to help alleviate current struggles and put you back on the path to the best version of you. This approach is effective for both long-standing issues such as chronic anxiety or depression, as well as more acute issues including relationship challenges and immediate life changes. Starting from session one we collaborate on establishing goals for our work, develop customized tools you can use immediately, and then build on that foundation for lasting success.

Finding solutions, achieving goals, discovering strengths, improving relationships - to reach such positive objectives, I use an integrated therapeutic approach that draws upon evidence-based treatment interventions and creative modalities tailored to the unique needs of the individual. With over 20 years of counseling experience, I work with a broad spectrum of clients and client issues: ADHD, anger management, anxiety, adolescent/parent conflicts, family therapy, couples counseling, grief and loss.

Do you find yourself giving love, support, and showing up for others, yet in moments when you need it, no one is there? What about having family and friends to talk too, but still feeling alone and/or misunderstood? Have you ever felt or learned through experience that you need to do everything on your own because you simply can't trust or rely on anyone to show up for you in a way that you need them? Have you ever gave so much of yourself, however, still ended up feeling it isn't enough? You aren't enough? Sound familiar? If so, I am here to tell you that you are not alone.

Teens (13+) and adults gain insight and skills to decrease or eliminate anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, grief, that make school, relationships, work and everyday life difficult. We'll explore the impact early life experiences, relationships have on identity, thought, behavior and mood. We'll replace or reframe thoughts and interpretations, learn positive behavioral skills, develop healthy relationships and learn mood regulation. We'll identify triggers, understand how past experiences affects and informs the present, improve ability to regulate, and uncover patterns/trauma that impact you and implement new behavior patterns.

Psychotherapy is about listening. As a therapist I strive to listen with compassion and depth to help my clients hear their own voices of change and healing. How I understand psychotherapy to work is best expressed by Simone Weil: "Those who are unhappy have no need for anything in this world but people capable of giving them their attention. The capacity to give one's attention to a sufferer is a very rare and difficult thing; it is almost a miracle; it is a miracle." I surely cannot do miracles! But together with my clients I have watched miracles happen.

For over 20 years, I have been working with adolescents, young adults and adults. I specialize in issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, divorce, relationships as well as women's issues related to aging, hormones and self care. Today's world is filled with uncertainty and is impacting people's sense of safety and control. I support clients in identifying areas they want to see change and then we collaborate together on understanding their thoughts/patterns that impact their well being and their relationships. I have a supportive, non-judgemental and direct approach in counseling and psycho-educating clients.

Being a teenager is tough. Navigating school and home, extracurriculars and relationships with ever developing brains and bodies, emotions and perspectives, relationships and identities, distractions and temptations, can lead to anxiety and fear, confusion and loneliness, disorientation, frustration, anger even hopelessness. Parents, teachers, coaches and friends aren’t always the people to help, and sometimes you get to a point when you know you can’t do it alone...

I provide telehealth to clients in the state of Maryland, North Carolina and Ohio. I specialize in depression, anxiety, relationship issues, conflict management and adjustment related issues.
