About

Is there an anxious voice in your head that sometimes speaks at full volume? Is it louder now, with everything going on in the world? Do you carry the weight of the world on your shoulders and feel like you don't have the time or the space to fall apart? Perhaps you feel like you can't stay on top of your life the way other people seem to be able to? Maybe you feel sad, hopeless, dull, or trapped? Stuck or unmotivated?

If you are feeling isolated and disconnected right now, you are not alone! A desire for connection is an important part of being human. I can provide you with the support you need to navigate this crazy time. I can help you get unstuck and feel less burdened by overwhelming emotions. I can help you find what makes your life meaningful and ways to do more of it. I will meet you where you’re at and collaborate with you to solve the problems in your life as quickly as possible, and to cope more effectively with problems that can’t be readily solved (e.g., grief).

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Maryland with over 15 years experience working with individuals and families. I have worked extensively with clients struggling with eating disorders (primarily binge eating disorder), anxiety (OCD, panic disorder, social anxiety, and generalized anxiety), depression, relationship issues, and parenting challenges (especially when a child has emotional, behavioral, and/or medical problems). I also have training and experience in behavioral medicine, including weight management, smoking cessation, sleep, chronic disease management, and pain management

I will incorporate research-based, effective skills from a number of therapies to meet your individual needs. In most cases, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral, Motivational Interviewing, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques. These types are therapies are focused on helping clients better understand themselves, gain new perspective, and learn effective ways of managing challenging situations. I will listen to you, treat you compassionately, and hopefully laugh with you from time to time as we work to help you feel better.

I look forward to talking with you!
