I have practiced psychology in the Annapolis area for almost 29 years. Currently I have offices in Annapolis and Kent Island.

I do my best work with patients who are motivated to make changes and who are open to a direct approach. I always provide input to patients and encourage interaction with the goal of solving problems. I work with adults of all ages and adolescents. I have enjoyed many successful treatment outcomes.

There is a common narrow perception of counseling. It is the place where you go when you've reached the end of your rope. When you can't make life work anymore. And you have reached your own personal end. And, you surrender, and say, I need help. I'm stuck. While this may be true, what is equally and more importantly true is that this point of surrender is actually just the beginning! Your own personal journey of becoming who you were truly meant to be and can be and are.

Life is all about relationships- the one we have with ourselves and the ones we share with others- and navigating all sorts of challenging situations.
