Hi! I'm an experienced clinical professional counselor working in Maryland for the past 22 years. I'd love the opportunity to help you! My approaches are tailored to meet the unique needs of the individual or couple, as collaboration is essential. I am a skilled marriage/couples therapist having worked with many stuck couples trying to break their argument cycles!
I enjoy facilitating client change by first identifying the fixed thoughts and assumptions that interfere with fulfillment. Life is challenging, and what we say to ourselves can make coping difficult. Childhood experiences powerfully impact our self-statements, so you won't leave our sessions without exploring your youth - - who loved you, who didn't, and how you now cope and react. Finding meaning in pain is also important!
I work with women and men who are experiencing struggles in marriage, divorce, parenting, stress-management, dating, grief and workplace conflict. And if you fear social judgement, I will help you! Therapy aims to increase personal insight, self-awareness and self-compassion. Self-discovery and healing are at the heart of every therapeutic relationship.
