I am a retired Army paratrooper. After the military, I owned a tree business as a tree climber (for a brief period). I worked in the public school system for 7-years as an educator. As a clinician, I served in a non-public level-5 school with students from all over the state of Maryland; with suicide and crisis; with human trafficked girls; with marriage/couples and families; and sexual and substance addictions. Over the years, my experiences have included people living on the streets of Baltimore to the fast paced life of the D.C./Alexandria area. It has included the misunderstood educators during the stressful school year and decompressing summers to the misunderstood law enforcement, military, veteran, and first responders faithfully serving the public without question each day and night. Two core values of mine are respect and dignity. I believe that the greatest independent person is a person that knows how to be dependent on others in the right way, with the right amount of intensity, and for the right amount of time. An independent person knows where dependence on someone else makes them stronger, safer, wiser, lovelier and more successful in life and in relationships.

Do you ever feel like nobody is listening to you? or trying to help you make sense of your struggle? Do you feel that what you are going through makes you feel alone like nobody gets you?

I have a master of science in mental health counseling from Capella University. I am trained to work with individuals, groups, families and couples. I also have extensive knowledge and sensitivity in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar, difficult life transitions, parenting issues, relationship problems, LGBTQIA issues and other life challenges. My understanding of counseling comes from many different theoretical orientations. I believe that the client or clients have the solutions to their dilemmas within one’s self. Therefore the counselor does not have the “answers” to the client’s “problem” but is a facilitator of the process that helps the client take responsibility and action and come to a resolution. I am here to support and guide you on that journey.

Are you feeling depressed and anxious? Are you finding your life is in turmoil because you have to make a change? Maybe you are changing careers or jobs, you’re recently divorced, your home is now an empty nest, or you are retiring. These are only a few of life’s transitions that can bring on depression and anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the therapy I use most often, states that A (Antecedent action or event) + B (our belief about that antecedent action or event) = Consequences, (depression or happiness). If you think of a transition or event (A) as a negative experience (B), you will experience the consequences of your belief, as depression and anxiety (C-negative) or as happiness and excitement (C-positive). Unfortunately, many of us view a transition or change as a bad thing, a time when we are facing the unknown without a map. I would like to help you see change as an opportunity, a time for growth and exploration. Come with me. Together we can make change a positive force for a bright future. please schedule appoints only on the hour.😀

The work should be experienced in a safe, loving, and understanding environment. As a holder of your pain, your hope, and your light, let me stand by your side and empower you to face obstacles and challenges. Let us go beyond surviving this life, but healing our hearts and mind so we can love and enjoy the moments we have right now, the best we can.
