Hello, I am a cognitive behavioral therapist with a focus on adults and couples who are experiencing adjustment disorders, depression, grief, anxiety, and trauma. I have recently retired from my role in the psychology department of the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (Maryland's Prison System). Prior to my work with the State of Maryland, I taught psychology to undergraduate students in my hometown of Buffalo, New York.

I have worked at a hospital, community mental health center, group and private practice. I worked with people with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, addiction problems, minority/ identity and multicultural issues, life transition problems. Also, I worked with people with ADHD and developmental disorders. I understand that you would like to learn about your problems to change and navigate your life in a better way.
