Feeling alone in your journey to grow your family? Feeling overwhelmed and emotional following the birth of your baby? I work with individuals and couples learning to navigate this often confusing and emotional journey of infertility as well as postpartum depression and anxiety. I can walk with you through these hard times, helping you to manage stress, nurture your relationships and make challenging decisions.

If you are looking for a therapist who will spend time figuring out your personal needs- whether that is how we work together or what specific mode of treatment works best for you- I believe that I may be a good fit for you. I have spent my years as a therapist both keeping abreast of all of the most up-to-date approaches to care, but more importantly, I continue to challenge myself as an individual to consider the needs of the people and world around me so that I may offer the best treatment possible.

At the heart of my practice lies a commitment to providing a compassionate and safe space where individuals can embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and profound personal growth. I believe in the innate strength of each person to overcome life’s hurdles and move toward a state of balance and fulfillment. I am committed to providing high quality and effective client-centered psychotherapy services for a variety of mental health related issues. Your mental health is my priority. I believe that with the right support and guidance, everyone has the capacity to make positive changes, and enhance their quality of life.

Finding a therapist with whom one can form a trusting working relationship is essential to a successful therapeutic experience, no matter what the issue. I've been in private practice for over twenty years working with adults, adolescents and children in individual, couples and family therapy. I've also worked in community mental health and psychiatric hospitals, as well as medical and psychology training programs. I enjoy working with a broad range of issues. With adults these may include long-standing difficulties with anxiety, depression, loss, chronic emotional or medical illness, as well as relationship issues. Prior to becoming a psychologist I taught both elementary and high school. I've worked extensively with youngsters of all ages, as well as their parents, to address developmental, emotional and parenting challenges specific to these age groups. My work is grounded in a psychdynamic understanding of the individual. This informs my choice of the particular treatment approach I might suggest. I have training and experience in insight oriented, cognitive-behavioral, and emotionally-focused treatment. If you feel I might be helpful, please contact me.

It is natural to have moments in life when you feel depressed or anxious, and especially if you are in a certain stage of life which requires more support, or if life simply threw you a curve ball. Everyone needs to be able to set aside time for themselves, process through their experiences, and then work towards identifying what they need and how to get there. I provide a comfortable, safe, non-judgmental space in which to do that work, collaboratively and creatively. I want to empower you and to help you feel like, "I've got this. I can get through it." Because you can.

I am passionate about assisting individuals and their loved ones through the unique challenges associated with the aging process. I also have extensive experience working with individuals who have alcohol and/or drug abuse concerns. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families from adolescence through the geriatric population. I have over thirty years of experience providing therapy and psychological assessments within a wide variety of clinical settings and diverse populations.

My ideal client is the teen or adult that has had significant distress from emotional trauma, anxiety, mood and attentional disorders. Most clients have previously tried many types of therapies, including drug therapies, but continue to struggle. By addressing brain function with neurofeedback in addition to therapy, I have had over 90% success helping my clients to overcome or manage their emotional/mental health challenges.

I have a unique therapeutic style; I would consider my style a mixture of client-centered/ solution focus based therapy. I alter my techniques to best fit the client I am serving at the time. I tend to use non-traditional methods to address your concerns and tackle different aspects of your mental health.

6/3/2022: I have availability intermittently (please email) . Services offered via secure "virtual office" only. Life can be challenging, confusing and painful. It can also be full of meaning, satisfaction, and joy. It takes courage to recognize that something needs to be different to have the life you want. Whether you need help making a decision, support after a difficult transition such as a divorce or loss, or are suffering but unsure of how to change, I will meet you where you are with compassion, a toolbox of strategies and techniques, working collaboratively and flexibly with you on your personal journey of change.

Are you struggling to cope with the effects of trauma or other stressful life events? Are feelings of anxiety and depression preventing you from living a full and meaningful life? People often search for strategies to find relief from their symptoms, but discover that these techniques are of limited use or create their own problems. I specialize in evidence-based psychotherapy for adults with these conditions - that is, therapy that has been extensively studied through years of psychological research.

I continue to derive immense satisfaction from becoming a psychologist and exploring many paths and points of view about the nature of "reality", personally in my own work on myself and with others in psychotherapy (from physical/behavioral/external levels to non-physical/subjective/internal levels). People who have participated in psychotherapy with me often describe deriving value from increased awareness, insight and understanding about their past and present circumstances, both internal and external. These results have led to resolving external behavioral issues and increasing their level of internal satisfaction about their life experiences.

It can be a difficult decision to talk to someone about your problems. I can help people understand their relationships with others and cope with challenges in their lives. I believe that we have solutions to help ourselves and we need to find ways to discover them.

I work with clients to transcend their conscious and subconscious being to explore their potential through an integrative approach. We will go forth on a healing journey through mind, body, and spirit, using a strengths-based approach to help you transform into your healthiest self. I have experience working with women, children, and families in a private setting, as well as in larger organizational systems. I find fulfillment in guiding you through your journey in a safe and accepting space. I feel a deep calling to help individuals heal after toxic relationships.

As a seasoned therapist, I have successfully helped clients suffering from a variety of issues: depression, anxiety, substance abuse/addiction, grief, trauma, overwhelming stress and emotions, relationship problems, etc. I use a comprehensive approach, blending different psychotherapy techniques with eastern wisdom and western philosophy, to facilitate a client's awareness of self and empowerment towards change. My clients gain the coping skills to conquer their issues and live happier, more meaningful lives. Prior to my private practice, I worked Inpatient Psychiatry at the University of Maryland Medical Center for five years.

Do you feel overwhelmed by the expectations of the world? Do you worry about what the future holds? Are you struggling with feeling hopeless or directionless? Living in our current societal context can be incredibly hard, especially when you are already carrying the weight of the accumulation of your lived experiences. The good news is you are not alone. I view therapy as a partnership and am willing to get creative with how we approach your problems. You deserve to give yourself space to heal and grow, and to take charge of what you can control in this unpredictable world we live in!

Therapy is a valuable tool that can help you set and achieve the goals you have for yourself. Do you want to become a fantastic parent?, let go and forgive?, become more assertive? How about love yourself?, improve your communication skills? All of these and more are attainable in a safe space. I specialize in listening to YOU. Whether we process a trauma together or work on addiction issues, we can do it together.

I believe that anyone who wants to make a change in their life can do it. My style is laid back, with an emphasis on listening and getting to know the client on their own terms, and assisting them with self expression when needed. My orientation is self psychological and relational. For some issues, I find that a more structured, directed approach is helpful. I have recently incorporated DBT skills groups into my practice.

I am a certified holistic yoga counselor. I approach my sessions through body awareness, meditation, mindfulness, and journaling. The body is a powerful, organic machine that comes with its own processes to heal the body, mind, and soul. I want my clients to reconnect with those bonds to re-establish stability of the internal and external workings of the self, utilizing eastern and western philosophies. Principles I use in sessions are Ayurveda, Hatha Yoga, Yin Yoga (eastern philosophy); Logotherapy, Psychodynamic therapy, and Humanistic Psychology (western philosophy).
