I believe that therapy is about showing up and figuring things out. There is no one technique or method that is better than the other. I don't treat the diagnosis, I treat the person. It's about the connection and feeling genuinely understood. The first thing you do is show up. That's it.
I understand that therapy might be on the list of things you have tried and it didn’t work or one of those things that you aren’t sure will help with what you've got going on. Most people are afraid to set themselves up for failure yet again. That’s why I have set up a way to engage in therapy that fits you and your needs. I offer more than a list of cookie cutter life hacks. For the past ten plus years I have helped overwhelmed, burned out adults and couples re-focus and gain traction in their personal and professional lives so they can feel accomplished and have time to pursue those meaningful ventures that their creative brains come up with.
You are here because you are:
- Tired. SO TIRED.
- Everything is too much
- There is that pesky voice in your brain that says "what's wrong with you? Get your shit together"
- You are one second away from a meltdown or blowing up at the next person who dares to breathe in your direction
- Things are not where or what you want them to be and, quite frankly, it's pissing you off
You feel:
- Alone in your struggles and it seems like other people are on the right path (what's wrong with me?)
- You are just trudging along and feel stuck
What I will bring to the session:
- A sense of humor and more than likely a couple curse words.
- A blanket, a cardigan, and at least two beverages (because that's what therapists do)
- Some insight and a new perspective.
I believe:
- There is hope and potential in everyone (I know it's there, we can find it)
- A sense of humor makes things more tolerable.
- Your inner critic can be a jerk sometimes and the more you understand about yourself, the more compassion and growth you will have.
- You are worth it. You have a lot to offer to yourself and the world. Let's find it!
Looking for Credentials and Work History?
I started school at a local community college, transferred to UMBC and then U Balt for my graduate degree.
Prior to private practice, I worked in a variety of therapy settings. These spaces were large mental health clinics with a diverse set of clients. The broad spectrum of experience has helped me identify who I really enjoy (and therefore am most successful) working with. While large facilities were crucial in gaining experience, I found that I wanted more. I was helping my patients find their stride while I was stuck in a rut. I found it unsettling to not practice what I preach and decided to strike out on my own.
I work with individuals and couples who struggle with ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma. My background working with civilian and military populations with co-occurring disorders has helped me to make a connection with my clients. This connection is the backbone of good therapy.
