As a licensed therapist in Maryland with two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address depression, relationship challenges, family dynamics, and work/ life challenges with compassionate, personalized care. I bring deep expertise in supporting individuals through transformative personal journeys, focusing on areas like self-love, communication, healing from trauma, and rediscovering life purpose. Drawing on cognitive behavioral approaches, I help clients identify and reshape the thought patterns and beliefs that quietly shape their emotional lives — creating space for new perspectives, healthier responses, and lasting change. My work also extends to teens and college students, guiding young people through issues related to identity, stress, anxiety, and interpersonal relationships during critical developmental stages. Grounded in trauma-informed and systems-based approaches, my practice emphasizes the interconnected nature of personal, familial, and social experiences. I integrate somatic work to help clients reconnect with the wisdom of the body — recognizing that healing lives not only in the mind but in the nervous system, breath, and physical presence. Together, these approaches allow clients to gain insight into patterns that shape their lives while building resilience, self-understanding, and sustainable positive change. My therapeutic style is collaborative, strengths-oriented, and rooted in empowerment. I create a supportive environment where clients of all ages can safely explore their emotions, challenge unhelpful thinking, tune into their bodies, and develop tools for lasting growth. Through evidence-based practices — including CBT and somatic modalities — I help individuals move from feeling stuck to feeling grounded, confident, and connected — to themselves and others. I'm deeply committed to walking alongside my clients as they navigate difficult emotions, rebuild relationships, and create lives marked by authenticity, purpose, and fulfillment. Together, we transform challenge into opportunity, fostering healing and growth at every stage of life.

I specialize in treating anxiety and stress in ‘normal’ people like yourself. My clients appear stable and successful, but quickly express they’re struggling - overwhelmed with frustration - even sadness. They tell me life seems persistently harder than a while ago, stuck in seemingly inescapable patterns with difficult problems. Then, more issues: job dissatisfaction, marital communication (even divorce) or parental challenges – a ‘Polycrisis’. Clients want to be heard and validated; I’ll listen. We’ll work together in a positive direction to restore order, enjoyment in life and self-confidence with a strong sense of satisfaction. My practical approaches focus on designing and implementing paths forward for specific definable problems, as well as your generalized angst. We’ll not just manage symptoms – we’ll also break old patterns you've operated on (perhaps for years) because of past trauma or other experiences; we'll build new ways of thinking, behaving and responding. I engage carefully to what is happening and we will cooperate on a response. My non-judgmental approach balances the need to validate your experiences with the urgency to address and resolve your challenges. I will help you create the fulfilment you envision.
