I am a fee-for-service licensed psychologist. I provide a VIP type care experience by easy accessibility, scheduling, and staying in contact with clients between visits via text and email. Over years of practice we diagnose and treat adults, adolescents with complex ADHD and executive function deficits and complex OCD by developing an individualized success plan. These disorders create a "Ground Hog Day " of self-limiting behaviors. We coach you how to resolve conflicts that cause anxiety, depression, stress by accurate self-awareness (understanding and managing ourselves), new ways of thinking, and building effective communication.

Our team of experienced male and female therapists provide counseling to children, adolescents, couples and families of all ages.

The therapeutic process is liberating once begun, indeed it is life-transforming. Trust that you will emerge stronger and more self-aware now able to reclaim that special, essential "You", that you always knew was there but couldn't quite seem to get in touch with. Start your therapy journey today!

Individuals of all ages can benefit from therapy; my goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment in which my client, regardless of age, feels comfortable and able to grow emotionally. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C). I began my career as a school based clinician, transitioning to private practice in 2014. I love what I do as a therapist, and am fortunate to be able to blend my 30 years of experience and knowledge to support my clients.

I am a licensed, clinical social worker with an abundance of experience in working with various challenges one may face across a lifespan but a particular interest in working with adolescents and women. When working with teens, whether for addictions, adjustment problems or to ease transitioning from high school or college, family dynamics are considered and provide a valuable platform for successful intervention. Cognitive/behavioral or psychodynamic approaches are used to provide a successful outcome.

Please note: morning & midday availability only .......... Change is not easy. Whether you're needing to experience relief from anxiety, depression, past trauma, or a current difficult situation, counseling can help bring us out of stagnation and onto the path of change in a compassionate and non-judgmental atmosphere. I enjoy helping people identify what thoughts and behaviors are helpful in building satisfying lives and which may have once proved useful, but no longer work for them. Taking small steps, while being kind to ourselves when we make mistakes, can create the kind of change that we want to see in our lives.

We offer Comprehensive Assessments, which provides updated and accurate information that can assist you with educational, workplace, mental health, and personal goals. This assessment measures cognitive functioning, academic performance (if applicable), ADHD/Executive functioning, and emotional/behavioral concerns. This helps to identify giftedness, learning disorders, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other clinical disorders. We have a team of trusted clinicians who assess for numerous private and public schools, psychiatrists, psychologists, and psychiatric nurse practitioners in Maryland.

After working over 24 years in the field of social work, I recognize my energy and desire lies in clinical practice. My particular interests in the last 15 years have also addressed other areas beyond general mental health. This includes clients who struggle with food and eating issues, body image disturbance, and negative self image. In addition, the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic has brought a new appreciation to the importance of therapy, and the recognized need for others to say that they need help.

I work in collaboration and partnership with my clients, identifying, developing and enhancing their strengths. I help facilitate my client's journey on her/his path to self-discovery. I join with my clients to help them pursue their personal and interpersonal goals. This joining brings a powerful synergy to the growth and change process - making the change process less difficult, more rewarding and even joyful! Life's difficulties are easier to manage when we have inner strength, courage and the knowledge that we have coping skills and interpersonal skills. We are better able to live a more centered and grounded life.

For over 20 years I've helped individuals, couples and families discover new pathways forward. We all experience times when we're feeling life is getting away from us. We feel as though we're missing the opportunity to maximize our potential. As a result, we feel sad, a little upset, and at times a bit disappointed in ourselves. Sometimes this is due to a lack of confidence or belief in our potential. Other times we simply find ourselves having to manage unexpected and unfortunate circumstances out of our control. If you've been experiencing increased anger, stress, anxiety, or fear of the unknown, know that things CAN get better.

I love working with children, adolescents, and young adults. When you are growing up it is a time of constant and rapid change. The pressures from school, friends, social media, parents and everything in between are overwhelming. It can be so hard to manage on your own and scary as a parent to watch. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients learn how to successfully manage all of the stressors in their lives so that they can re-engage with their family and friends and find the joy they once had. I help people improve the relationships in their lives and find more happiness in their everyday interactions.

Are you experiencing intrusive thoughts that cause you shame and self-label as a “horrible person?” Or engaging in unwanted repetitive behaviors that are taking up too much of your time? Are you feeling deep sadness that you cannot shake, together with a sense of helplessness and hopelessness? Is most of your energy directed towards avoiding certain situations because of the discomfort and distress they bring? Help is here. As a multicultural and diversity sensitive counselor I will meet you right where you are, no judgement, and together take the path towards your healing and freedom. I work with adults ages 18+.

You just finished a productive day at work and felt pretty good about yourself. Then that voice pipes up. “You probably screwed something up” “Everyone is judging you behind your back?” “You try so hard but always mess up.” “You can’t win.” No matter what you do, this inner critic never stops. Every time your confidence starts to grow, and you consider trying something new, that voice returns to fill you with fear and doubt. It seems like you only know how to focus on the bad and never give yourself any credit for the good. You wish you could somehow silence this part of you, but it feels hopeless. You don’t know what to do.

Do you ever wonder why you can't "let it go"? Do you wrestle with feelings of resentment, confusion and guilt about a past or current relationship? When you see someone or something that reminds you of the past, do you instantly become fearful, furious, nauseated, or even disoriented? Are there everyday experiences (like going to the doctor) that bring intense fear? Have you kept all this to yourself due to embarrassment? Are you a Christian who worries that your symptoms might be a sign of lack of faith?

We'll explore coping skills to regulate emotions and challenge these limiting beliefs. I can help you create a more balanced life, where your needs are as important as everyone else’s.
