I am a clinical social worker licensed in the State of Maryland with over 20 years of mental health experience. I provide individual and couples counseling for treatment of a broad spectrum of emotional problems including depression, anxiety, personal & spiritual life transition issues, abuse and trauma, grief and loss. I work with adults and older adolescents with an emphasis on women's issues and "a journey to self" approach for all clients. My style of therapy blends many modalities including cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, stress management, healthy breathing, guided imagery, self inquiry and mindfulness. Additionally, I offer group and private yoga instruction. Both dicsiplines incorporate an integrative approach to healing.

In the words of John O'Donohue, poet and scholar, "therapy is about helping people retrieve what has been lost to them; wakening and bringing home their fundamental wholesomeness".    

        Office hours are from Tuesday - Friday with day and evening availability by appointment. Insurance and third party reimbursement accepted.
