***My practice is completely Telehealth. I offer virtual appointments to clients who live anywhere in Maryland***

Everyday life can be really hard. Feelings of anxiety, depression, and grief are totally normal responses in these difficult times.

My goal as a therapist is to guide clients through whatever is keeping them from living their happiest lives — whether the issue is more recent/due to COVID-19, or a deeper issue that has been draining someone’s energy for years (or a lifetime).

I operate from a collaborative, strengths-based perspective to help clients understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

I help clients develop strategies to mitigate OCD and anxiety disorders, depression, and trauma/PTSD symptoms that interfere with their well-being.

I specialize in treating OCD and anxiety disorders and have advanced training in treating depression, trauma/PTSD, mood disorders, attachment/identity issues, family/boundary issues, and work/school stress.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP).

I have expertise working with adolescents and adults. I offer clients an empathetic safe space and a warm and non-judgmental perspective.

You have already taken a huge first step on your journey just by searching for help. If you would like to schedule an appointment, please email.

I look forward to meeting you!
