I'd like to meet you, if you have been putting off finding a therapist to address your mental health needs during this unsettling and unsettled time.

My office is in Columbia, Maryland in a building that is handicapped accessible, is near a bus stop, and is a short walk to Columbia Mall. I have hours during the day, in the evening, and Saturdays.

Therapy opens a door to new awareness and growth as we give ourselves permission to understand our needs and feelings. It has been an honor for me to be a part of this process and to witness the courage, integrity and resiliency of the human spirit. Over the last several decades, I have worked with adolescents, adults, couples and families, helping them to identify the blind spots we sometimes have that block our inner truths. I have been privileged to guide this process by creating a safe space and facilitating the hard work of self exploration and self revelation that leads to improved self care.

We all suffer in life at different times in different ways for different reasons. Whether it be for a brief period, a season or a lifetime, we may find ourselves lost in the world, and mostly, to ourselves. While many individuals initially come to therapy to solve a problem in their outer lives, some discover that what they truly seek is a path home to themselves, to those they love, to the natural world and to the Mystery that is within and beyond all. A few come because they can no longer ignore their souls' need for depth and transformation.
