People reach out to me for help deepening their self-awareness and overcoming and understanding their anxiety, depression, relationships, low self-esteem, low self-confidence, fear of abandonment & intimacy, writer's block, imposter syndrome, career dissatisfaction, workaholism as well as other challenges. Some want to master difficulties which have plagued them for years. Others are confronting more recent conundrums. All seek more than a bandaid solution. Rather, they are searching for a more nuanced understanding of themselves, their relationships and how they live in the world. Their aim is a more fulfilling life.

You’re introspective and self-aware. You may recognize self-sabotaging patterns and self-limiting beliefs that keep repeating in your professional life or intimate relationships. You may have even read self-help books or tried therapy before, and still struggle with low self-esteem, shame, anxiety, sadness, anger, or self-destructive behaviors. A part of you wonders if what happened to you has damaged you beyond “repair.” And yet, there’s a part inside that’s yearning for deep healing and knows it’s possible to feel radiantly alive, fulfilled, deeply connected, confident, and calm.

We all face stressors in life that can become overwhelming. Feeling stuck with our own negative thoughts or anxiety about new changes; repeatedly engaging in the same fights with our partner or spouse; worrying that we cannot support our children in the way we want - these are all universal experiences. Everyone faces obstacles, but not everyone has to remain feeling helpless, hopeless, or stagnant. It is at these times when it makes the most sense to reach out for support and when therapy can be most effective.

Hello, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in Maryland. I have worked with youth and young adults for the past 5 years as a social worker in several different capacities.

In over 20 years of practice I have specialized in anxiety disorders and depression - working with individuals, couples and families. Life is forever changing, which can be both exciting and stressful. Transitioning into or out of marriage, loss of a loved one, job change or even retirement are all possible triggers for anxiety and or depression. Specific phobias can prevent you from making important life decisions, as you may try to avoid situations that pose too great a fear. While depression or anxiety can prevent you from connecting with others, therapy can be a safe place to do so with guidance, support and acceptance.
