Great to meet you!

A unique approach with concrete, directive interventions may be just what you’ve been looking for! I conduct individual and couples sessions, extended and intensive weekend sessions. This work emphasizes connection, alignment with values, forgiveness, acceptance, compassion, and living peacefully in the moment with a healthy sense of self. I help people who have been unsuccessful with therapy in the past, have a return of symptoms after repeated therapy, or are reluctant to engage in therapy.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and The Gottman Method allows me to connect quickly and effectively with clients to assist them in making lasting changes in their relationships with themselves and others.

I would be honored to work with you to help you reach your goals. I have been providing therapy services for 20+ years and I am licensed in Maryland, Michigan and Florida. Please reach out today, and embark on your journey towards the connections you seek!

What you can expect from our first session

I work with clients to live peacefully in the moment, with improved relationships and connections. My clients experience a healthy sense of self, deeply connected to a values-congruent existence.
