Berlin, Maryland began in the 1790s as part of the Burley Plantation, which was part of a land grant in 1677. The name is derived from Burleigh Inn, a tavern on the crossroads of two main roads. Berlin was a rest stop for travelers to the coast resort of Ocean City. It was also a destination for tourists who were interested in hunting and fishing. Starting in the late 1980s, the town of Berlin has seen a revitalization of the historic district of downtown. Forty-seven buildings have been listed in the National Register of Historic Places.

I am a professional counselor licensed in Pennsylvania and Maryland, as well as nationally certified. I am also certified in school counseling k-12. I have worked with varying age groups and populations. I started out my professional career in a social service department in a hospital. Following this, I have worked in schools, as well as various mental health agencies. Most recently I was the director of a mental health and drug and alcohol facility. During my career as a clinical psychotherapist, I strived to become a very well-rounded clinician, working with multiple modalities along with ongoing continued education to provide the best care to those I served. I am in the process of earning my PhD. While I do utilize multiple modalities such as DBT, CBT, and SFT, I believe in a person-centered approach overall, as each individual is unique and thus deserves the approach and style that best fits their own unique needs. Additionally, I have worked with addictions extensively both individually and in a group format. I have taken extensive training in gambling addiction and have run IOP for drug and alcohol groups for many years. I believe wholeheartedly in providing validation and helping my clients understand the importance of self-validation. No matter what the struggle is my clients are facing, I believe that they have the strength within them to overcome their obstacles. I strive to help them find that strength.
