Seeking therapy to help make changes in your life is a courageous decision and I am grateful you are taking the time to consider my profile. Good mental health is an essential part of our overall well-being. Whether you are seeking to reduce troubling symptoms or to improve your life by making desired changes, participating in therapy is a powerful and often life-changing process. Even though our training equips therapists with knowledge and skills, the quality of the therapeutic relationship developed between client and therapist is often the “vehicle” that fuels the process of making positive changes.

My therapeutic style is interactive, warm, and collaborative. Most clients describe me as
genuine and relatable with an unforced sense of humor that helps balance some of the more challenging topics discussed in therapy. I strive to develop relationships with my clients that are supportive and encouraging, yet honest and genuine enough to challenge you to work through your stuck-points and “blind-spots” in different and more effective ways. I utilize an integrative approach to match evidence–based interventions (including strategies drawn from CBT, schema-focused therapy, DBT, IFS, and interpersonal techniques) with the specific needs of each client to help meet their goals.

I have been a therapist for over 25 years and have been a licensed psychologist in Maryland since 2007. I am a passionate ally to the LGBTQ+ community and have dedicated most of my clinical practice to working with this population. I also have extensive experience supporting clients through the process of gender transition, including providing support letters for gender-affirming surgery. I am a kink-friendly therapist and welcome those in polyamorous relationships.
I am also skilled at working with those in recovery from substance abuse. I provide individual therapy to adults (18+) and have specialized experience working with college students, first responders, as well as other therapists and those in the helping professions.

Currently my practice is virtual only.  I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
