As a licensed therapist in Maryland with three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on helping clients address depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions with compassionate, personalized care.
I understand the unique challenges of managing stress, processing difficult emotions, and rebuilding self-esteem. My approach centers on creating a supportive environment where individuals can explore communication challenges, work through feelings of guilt and shame, and develop resilient coping strategies.
Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I offer a depth of understanding and therapeutic expertise that honors each person's individual journey. My goal is to provide meaningful guidance that empowers clients to recognize their inherent strengths and move toward healing and personal growth.
I am committed to walking alongside my clients with empathy, respect, and professional insight, helping them transform challenging experiences into opportunities for meaningful change and self-discovery.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
