My work is guided by a deep commitment to meeting people where they are, listening with compassion, and empowering them to navigate challenges and find solutions that align with their values and strengths. Throughout my career, I have served in diverse roles, including Outpatient Therapist, Assessment & Referral Counselor, Crisis Assessor, Clinical Screener, Behavior Specialist Consultant, Mobile Therapist, Adjunct Teacher, Group Facilitator, Parent Educator, and leadership positions within the behavioral health field. These experiences have given me a profound understanding of the effects of adverse experiences, emotional dysregulation, and the challenges that arise in relationships, parenting, and life transitions. Counseling Philosophy I use a person-centered, strength-based approach that aligns with cognitive-behavioral principles to help clients identify and achieve attainable goals.

I am a licensed counselor in Maryland and Delaware. I have had extensive experience with abuse and trauma, and a range of personal problems and mental illnesses. Following 35 years in a special education school, working primarily with adolescents and their families, I transitioned to private practice close to ten years ago. Since then, I have worked primarily one on one with adults of all ages. Those I currently work with would likely describe me as easy-going, supportive, informal, practical and nonjudgmental. I have considerable respect for anyone who decides to pause at some point in their life and address issues and concerns that might affect quality of life. This takes courage, openness and hopefulness. I can draw on many different approaches however, key to the process, in my opinion, is a partnership and therapeutic relationship. I tend to be psychodynamically-oriented, however I value immediate needs and therefore changing behavior in the here and now may often be the priority. Relatedly, changing thinking patterns and thoughts in the here and now can also be a priority. Hopefully, you can (or will ????), believe that you can change behaviors and thoughts. Given the current pandemic, I have learned to provide therapeutic services remotely. I am surprised at how effective and practical this can be. This is essentially, the basis for my joining Better Help. Please feel free to ask me 100 questions.
