My aim is to help individuals create a rich and meaningful life, while effectively handling the pain and stress that life inevitably brings. My goal is to respectfully treat and engage with clients in an emotionally safe environment. My passions are treating individuals, couples and families who wish to improve their relationships, are going through life transitions or have mental health concerns. I provide in-person sessions at my offices in Bel Air, MD or come to my new office in Street, MD and you will be welcomed to a serene space nestled in the woods of this lovely community. Secure Telehealth is also available.
I have over 34 years of experience in the mental health field and I practice in an open, warm and welcoming atmosphere. My expertise covers a wide range of issues (see below). I have 1 published article in a medical/scientific journal and have written and co-written several treatment manuals for providers. I have supervisory and managerial experience.
My focus is to help clients achieve their goals in an environment that is supportive, kind and understanding. I will also help clients to identify and conquer obstacles that get in the way of experiencing peace, happiness and harmony in life and relationships.
