I view therapy as a collaboration between therapist and client. I strive to make clients feel at ease and work best with clients seeking aid in managing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, perinatal/postpartum concerns, peer relationship problems, ADHD, and parenting concerns. In counseling, being open and honest is one of the most important aspects of the process. As it can be very difficult to be vulnerable, I strive to create a welcoming atmosphere and will always be honest in return to my clients.

Welcome! I am a licensed clinical social worker located in Easton, Maryland. At my practice, I provide client-centered psychotherapy services to children (beginning at age 5), adolescents, adults, and families. Therapy is a safe space to seek support and work through challenges. The therapeutic process includes developing awareness to personal strengths and areas of need. I believe therapy is a collaborative process with the client/family determining goals for treatment. Therapy is an opportunity to explore emotions, thought processes, and personal barriers.

Any person that walks through my door is one of the most courageous people that I know. Whatever it is that you struggle with, the goal is to help guide you through your own, unique healing process. Every individual that I work with is unique; however, everyone has at least one commonality: they want to develop insight into their struggles and be empowered with strategies for acceptance, healing and growth. With strong insight there is always a way to develop resiliency to be seen, heard and valued.

I help clients through life transitions, relationship distress, trauma, loss, grief, the perinatal period, chronic illness, depression, and anxiety.
Life can be hard. A job relocation, challenging career or significant life transition can make it even harder. Maybe you feel alone, overwhelmed, hopeless or even damaged, and somehow stuck inside of these feelings. When navigating such painful feelings and life moments, it's easy to find yourself "going through the motions" — disconnected from yourself, the people closest to you, and your real purpose in life. If you find yourself in this unsettling space, remember: You don't have to figure it out alone. I work with people just like you — individuals and couples that often appear to have it all together but suffer in silence.

Grief can be isolating. You might be scared to feel the gravity of a loss, afraid you will fall apart. The pain is unavoidable, however, the suffering can be reduced by learning healthy ways to cope and build meaning. In addition to grief work, I enjoy working with adults struggling with anxiety/OCD as well as postpartum concerns. Being a parent is both wonderful and brutal. You are trying to survive adjusting to a totally new way of life. It can be challenging, but you are not alone. I will help you strategize to most effectively utilize your support system and walk with you as you navigate this period.

Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists
What are the most effective ways to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns?
The most effective way to address pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum concerns is by finding a therapist who has prior experience helping other patients overcome the challenge being faced. For example, a marriage and family therapist may have experience helping couples adjust to their new relationship dynamic. An anxiety specialist may have experience helping with phobias or illness anxiety related to the child’s health. A depression specialist may have experience treating postpartum depression.
When should I seek treatment for prenatal or postpartum concerns?
Pregnancy and the postpartum period involve intense physical and mental changes; a degree of upset and instability is normal. However, if these changes impair daily functioning, it may be time to seek help. This distinction is pertinent for postpartum depression: A period of teariness, irritability, and distress is difficult but normal in the one to two weeks after childbirth (sometimes called the “baby blues.”) But if feelings of sadness and hopelessness persist beyond that period, the person should seek treatment.
How do I manage worries during pregnancy or the postnatal period?
A therapist can help patients develop the tools they need to manage anxieties during or after pregnancy. Cognitive behavioral therapy can help people identify and reframe harmful patterns of thought, and change their behaviors. Other techniques and skills can allow people to develop acceptance, psychological flexibility, self-compassion, communication skills, and more.
Are there specific medications for postpartum depression?
In 2019, the FDA approved the first medication designed to treat postpartum depression. The medication is called brexanolone and is delivered intravenously by a medical professional over the course of a few days. However, typical antidepressants, which are more accessible, can also treat postpartum depression. The disorder is often best treated through a combination of medication and therapy.
