Great to meet you!

Are you feeling like your anxiety has been increasing lately or noticing your mood has been changing? Perhaps you’re feeling more irritable or preoccupied. Or you’re feeling more drained and less interested in the things you used to enjoy. Or your relationship isn't feeling fulfilling or it's feeling more conflicted. Or you need help with boundaries and self-care. Or maybe, like many, you’re not quite sure what you’re feeling.

I have experience working with clients touched by loss, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, adoption and relationship issues. I received my master’s degree in 1992, and I am licensed in Maryland, DC, and Virginia, and I invite you to give me a call or send me an email to talk about the possibilities and what you’re needing.

My approach to therapy

Therapy can be a very helpful way of getting to know yourself, what you’re about, learning what is important to you, and learning what may be standing in your way. I bring my warmth, authenticity, humor, and compassion, and I think you’ll find me very approachable and perhaps even fun, all within a safe space for our work together.

What you can expect from me

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety or depression, and it often shows up in their relationships or family. During our initial sessions, we will look at the issues you are concerned about and collaborate to create a plan to address them in ways that help you feel like you're getting your life and yourself back. Please reach out to me to discuss what you're looking for.
