Therapists in Easton, MD

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 was fortunate to attend a unique graduate school at Smith College that focused on both clinical, diagnostic excellence and also on understanding the client in their social/cultural circumstances. My experience is broad and varied and I have had the privilege to be taught by some of the best and brightest clinicians in the areas of trauma, anxiety and depression. I continue to see folks in my office in Towson, MD but also have my office in Easton. I see all age ranges including small children with whom I have worked for over 20 years. I am often referred clients who have been unable to find accurate diagnoses and effective therapy.

Are you ready to find the best version of yourself? I specialize in working with clients to overcome traumatic experiences, anxiety and life transitions by creating a safe and nurturing environment. My goal is to help you explore your past experiences and understand how they impact the way you respond to life today. By using a variety of treatment modalities ranging from EMDR, traditional talk therapy and more expressive forms of therapy, you will overcome obstacles in a way that feels comfortable. Your journey is unique; therefore, treatment is tailored to your needs.

I'm a unique therapist that treats a wide array of mental health disorders. We focus on resolving past and current issues/trauma, finding solutions and eliciting organic change. If we are not solving your problems, I am wasting your time. My practice goes far beyond talk therapy, we do work. We explore childhood, adolescent and other lifetime experiences that impact our psychological functioning. To permanently resolve our disorders we must revisit and resolve these thoughts, feelings and events. I utilize DBT as part of my treatment approach and we engage from the first minute we meet.

If you could start living a fuller, more meaningful life today, would you? If you feel stuck, hopeless, overwhelmed, sad, are facing changes in your life, etc. this is the place to begin. I hope you are searching for someone to help you with that journey. My goal is to walk with you through the healing process to live a life of wellness and hope. Many times life events get in the way of living, but today is a day of new beginnings.
