I am a retired Army paratrooper. I understand the nature of how identities change or are impacted throughout ones life. 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 students from all over the state of Maryland in a level-5 school; I served minors, adolescents and adults facing suicide and crises, human trafficking, and substance use and sexual addiction, and I serve marriage and couples. Over the years, my experiences have included people living on the streets of Baltimore City to the fast paced life of the DC-MD-VA (DC, Maryland, Northern Virginia) 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.

I believe therapy works best when it feels human, safe, and real. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who enjoys walking alongside people as they sort through life’s challenges and begin to understand themselves more clearly. Many of the individuals I work with feel anxious, stuck, disconnected, or unsure of their direction. My role is to help you slow down, gain insight, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. My work is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gestalt therapy, and Bowen’s concept of differentiation. In simple terms, that means we explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns with curiosity rather than judgment. We look at the different “parts” of you that may be in conflict and help you develop the ability to stay true to yourself while staying connected to others. Over time, this often leads to healthier boundaries, stronger relationships, and a deeper sense of balance. I value honest conversation and believe meaningful growth comes from awareness paired with action. Therapy with me is collaborative and compassionate, but also practical. I want you to leave sessions with insight you can actually apply in your daily life. On a personal note, I’m married and a proud father of four adult children. I enjoy traveling, spending time on the golf course, and continuing to grow both personally and professionally. I believe growth doesn’t stop at any stage of life, and I try to live that belief myself. If you’re ready to understand yourself more fully and create lasting change, I’d be honored to support you in that process.

I have more than 22+ years of clinical experience in both outpatient and inpatient settings, including private practice. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Maryland School of Social Work. I am trained in Animal Assisted Play Therapy with my Coton de Tulear, Sophia. This breed is known as the "anti-depressant" breed because of their joy and playfulness. I may integrate lessons learned from this training, as appropriate. I have also been trained in EMDR, trauma informed care, transpersonal psychology, mediation, conflict resolution, and collaborative divorce. I enjoy travel, meditation, Pilates, and reading.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Maryland rather than a city like Baltimore?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Maryland. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Maryland from Hagerstown to Ocean City! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Maryland.

Will my therapist take EAP:Cigna?

Yes! If you use EAP:Cigna you’ll be asked to verify your Member ID at the time you book the appointment. However, if you don’t have EAP:Cigna you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
