Do you have a sense that people don’t get you? Do you travel a different path than everybody else? Are you living your life very differently from what other people expect you to? Do people tell you that sometimes you are thinking way outside the box? Are your parents different from you and do they want you to be someone else? Life can be tough when you feel different. Different can also mean isolated, lonely, and misunderstood. It can also mean constantly asking yourself: Will I ever fit in? ...

I have enjoyed working with clients of many ages, most especially clients who are in situations such as yours, where you are making important life choices and are preparing to enter an uncertain future. Change always involves anxiety as one takes on new things, as well as some sadness and feeling of loss as one leaves behind the known and ventures into areas which are often exciting, challenging and at times scary. I can provide a safe, consistent experience to help build a greater level of pe...
***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.

In my work with clients, I use a really practical, active and results-oriented approach called cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I don't spend much time at all on trying to figure out the past origins and history of your problems. Instead, I help you learn and apply specific strategies, skills and techniques so you can overcome your problems in the present, and achieve whatever personal therapy goals you choose for yourself, such as: socializing, making friends, forming relationships, being as...
Life is not for the faint of heart, and its twists can leave us feeling sad, angry, or overwhelmed. I help clients move away from feeling isolated and uncertain to feeling empowered and hopeful. I'm a social worker and parent of three daughters, including one with autism. In addition to my clinical training, I've had to acquire a lot of knowledge around advocacy, juggling professionals, translating medical and educational jargon, and understanding behavior. You can manage the curveballs better...
Life as a college student is supposed to be great, but at the end of the day it can really suck. Exams, studying, roommates, relationships, missing home - these are all things that can drive us crazy, not to mention any depression or anxiety that might have been hanging around before. And if you’re dealing with sexuality or gender identity issues, it can really feel difficult. If you’ve made it this far you’ve taken an awesome step towards figuring stuff out. It’s not easy to do, and therapy r...
