I am a Licensed Psychologist with a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Maryland at College Park. I provide individual therapy for adults and teens for the treatment of depression, anxiety, anger management, parenting concerns, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and other matters.

I specialize in helping children, teens, and adults increase their emotional and behavioral regulation for anxiety disorders, OCD, and early childhood behavioral challenges. Through a collaborative approach, I provide individual therapy with the child, while also involving parents in the process to provide parents with the tools to support their child/teen. My collaborative, relational, playful, light-hearted style allows me to develop a warm, compassionate therapeutic relationship with every client, which creates a safe environment for children, teens, and adults to learn the skills to manage daily life experiences.

People, age is not a factor, often experience anxiety and stress. These cause feelings of being overwhelmed and pessimism. Pessimistic thinking impacts self-concept and confidence in who we are. Developing and maintaining relationships can be affected, and work performance diminishes. Exploring the root of anxiety and stress helps in determining the behavior in the present and choosing to change the behavior in our best interest to have a better future.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in evidence-based treatments for Anxiety and OCD-related disorders including: Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Specific Phobias, Hair pulling (Trichotillomania), Skin Picking (Excoriation), other Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors, Social Anxiety, Panic Disorders, Depression, Insomnia, and life changes. All clients that work with me will leave with new knowledge, skills, and tools to address their unique goals and challenges.

We specialize in Rumination-Focused ERP for OCD and anxiety disorders. This approach focuses on treating compulsive rumination, and provides a highly systematic yet gentler approach to exposure therapy. RF-ERP can be helpful to patients who have not made significant progress in other types of treatment, including individuals with Pure O or Sensorimotor OCD.

I currently have a short wait list for new clients. I am a fully trained and CERTIFIED EMDR THERAPIST. EMDR is effective in reducing anxiety and reactivity to emotional triggers often caused by painful memories. EMDR speeds up processing of distressing experiences and memories by accessing the emotional and intellectual parts of our brain. Most clients report positive changes quicker in comparison to traditional talk therapy. Together we'll tailor a treatment plan and healthy strategies to meet your goals. Call for a complimentary 15 minute consultation to see if we'd be a good fit in working together.

At times you may not know where to turn or what to do to make things better. If you could use some support, I'd like to help. My office provides a comfortable atmosphere where I am non-judgmental in my approach. My mission is to help improve my clients' lives by focusing on their strengths to create a healthy difference that is long lasting.

I am a Holistic Family Therapist, specializing in Neuro-therapy: an effective non-drug therapy that uses brain wave technologies (Neurofeedback, Alpha/Theta and Biofeedback), and psychotherapy to achieve optimal health! Feeling stuck in the "same old patterns" and traditional therapies aren't appealing? Take your brain to the gym to enhance central nervous system functioning and improve your MENTAL Performance, EMOTIONAL Control, and PHYSIOLOGICAL Stability! Imagine a therapy that is fun, involves an E.E.G., computer, movies, music, games and zero-gravity chair. I work collaboratively with you, and your feedback is key to healing, transformation, and change.

“‘Why should I listen to my heart?’” “‘Because you'll never again be able to keep it quiet. Even if you pretend not to have heard what it tells you, it will always be there inside you, repeating to you what you’re thinking about life & about the world. You will never be able to escape from your heart.’” The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I've had the privilege to assist individuals to grow through curiosity into deeper awareness of their thoughts, limiting beliefs, and identification of any root issues. I enjoy assisting individuals to reconnect with the core of who they were created to be, before the world and trauma had their impacts.

Deciding to make changes in your life can often be overwhelming. Uncertainty and self-doubt can make a path forward seem impossible. Through our work together, I can assist you in identifying the changes you would like to enact in your own life and help establish how to get there. If you find yourself feeling stuck in emotional pain or problems, therapy can be a catalyst for change you seek.Learning how to manage stress more effectively gives us access to new opportunities. I utilize both EMDR and ART therapies as a way to manage a variety of mental health conditions, including trauma, addiction, depression, grief and anxiety.

Do you feel stuck, stale or stagnant with your anxiety, depression or mental health? Is trauma a factor in your life that needs to dealt with and processed? Are you feeling sad from a death or sad and/or angry from a divorce, from a break up, or from caregiving and just need to process all that has happened? Therapy can help you be more aware, calmer, have more healing, discernment, more authenticity, more ease, less negativity, better boundaries, be less triggered/less personal, more personal power, better self care, more vulnerability, and healthier connections. Basically, therapy can help you be a better version of yourself!
