Life takes us through so many unexpected twists and turns. As a Psychologist practicing since 1989, I know the courage that clients bring as they seek help in addressing a challenge that has come before them. Together, we build a safe and trusting relationship, set meaningful goals, and do the work of healing and growing. Clients may bring a range of issues, from navigating a life transition to recovering from a tragic loss or trauma. I use an eclectic treatment approach that incorporates cognitive behavior therapy, behavior analysis, developmental psychology, RET, hypnosis, imagery, and other trauma-based interventions.
My clinical specialties include; treatment of survivors of sexual abuse, trauma, PTSD, dissociative disorders including DID, depression, grief, anxiety, chronic illness, stress management, health behavior change, & relationship conflicts. I will soon announce openings for a group for mothers facing the challenges of parenting children with disabilities.
I have a limited private practice based out of my home office near Libertytown, Maryland. The setting is peaceful, quiet, and private. I will do my best to create an environment where you can find trust, respect, and meaningful solutions to your life challenges. I look forward to hearing from you.

Issues in parenting a child with disabilities
This group will address the complex journey and multidimensional impact of parenting a child with disabilities. The goals are 1) to identify the impact of longterm stress, trauma and grief of this journey, 2) to process and resolve emotions and beliefs put on the back burner too long, and 3) gain insight, skills and behavior changes that set a foundation for celebrating the past and shining hope on the future.
