Find A Psychologist in Shady Side, MD.

Psychology is a study people and research on issues. I have spent a big portion of my life listening to people and out of that I have researched, trying to make the information "user friendly". I do not practice from the point of someone else's theory, but from being a student of God's Word and watching the traps the people are often entangled in. Along with reading wise people, I find what works, like an MD would on people's physical issues. So as I continue reseach I am hopefully wiser to help you through your challenges. One of my great joys has been working on the cutting edge of Neuro Science research. A few of the biggest issues that I have worked with are Schizophrenia and PTSD/

I have family members with chronic health conditions and I know firsthand the weight of the invisible burden of managing medical conditions. My approach as a Psychologist is compassionate and collaborative. I want you to feel safe and supported as we set out on a journey together. I firmly believe that YOU are the expert.

My goal is to build a trusting relationship with you, so that you can feel comfortable telling me about your fears, hurt, pain, insecurities, hopes, dreams.

Psychologists are scientist/practitioners. That means we are aware of the results of research. I have particularly studied research into how people can become happier. I am always studying the latest information on healing trauma and relationship problems. My clients over the years have also taught me a lot. I am a good listener and will commit myself fully to our work together. I will be present with you and bring a wonderful tool box to my work! My greatest satisfaction is to see people becoming more fulfilled, feeling good about their lives, happier!

Good psychotherapy can help you create and experience change in your life, with more resilience, "doing" relationships differently, noticing and effectively redirecting yourself in those moments when you fall into old habits, improving your physical health through emotional wellness, getting your brain into better gear. I’m a psychologist as well as a neuropsychologist, and have been for nearly 25 years. Human connection together with how our minds work best; how we can change (literally) the wiring of our brains to give our hearts room to grow and to love – bringing all of that together to help is what I love to do. I bring that to therapy with a straightforward, empathic, and genuine way of working with people. If that sounds right for you, let's get to work.

I am a caring and collaborative psychologist, who believe that each person entering therapy needs the experience to be tailored to them, their history, and their needs. I work with you to understand what brings you to my office, what you're hoping to change in your life, and how to make that happen. By listening to what you say, and what you don't, and asking detailed questions, I will help you in better understanding yourself and reaching your goals.

When I attempt to be of help to a client I bring to the table all the knowledge and skill I have acquired in earning a Ph.D. in psychology and many hours of additional formal training. However, this is only the beginning. I also bring to the table everything I have learned in many years of relating to people as therapist, friend, family member, group member, and psychotherapy client. What I know about my own humanity is more important that all of my formal training.
