My ideal client is someone who is receptive to the therapy process. Someone who is willing to be open and challenge themselves to dig deep to learn about their self. The client may have issues surrounding self esteem, communication or relational challenges with others. They also would be comfortable taking accountability for their role in situations and are receptive to feedback. They are insightful and with a little therapeutic guidance can come to some conclusions and clarity moments on their own. They are also willing to try and apply new coping skills and interventions discussed in therapy and recap them later with myself.

I am a mental health clinician who practices in both Maryland and Michigan. Treatment will vary just as our individual personalities vary. I am looking for clients who are unsure of what they want or need but are willing to explore. I am looking for clients who have goals but need help starting the journey. I am also looking for clients who know what they want, they have begun the work, but need more support. No matter the stage or phase of treatment, I am looking for clients willing to do the work.

Over my forty-five year career I have worked with many different people of every race, age, and problem type. I listen with a supportive, trained ear, and help my clients find the best coping strategies that will enable them to be happier. Even if only one person is in my office, I see that person as part of their family system, and help them make positive changes that will increase good feelings and reduce conflict. Nearly everyone goes through a rough period in their life when psychotherapy could be helpful for getting back on track.
