Teletherapy shortens the distance between you and licensed counseling services.

Whether you are dealing with an internal struggle, a relationship problem or an external challenge, a collaborative alliance with a professional counselor can help you learn more effective ways of thinking, feeling and relating that are congruent with your personal strengths, desires and goals. 

My approach to serving clients draws upon several perspectives. With individuals and couples, applying a family systems orientation views helps participants view their role in larger relational systems, learning to be less emotionally reactive and more thoughtfully responsive to the cyclical dynamics of those systems. "Imago" and active-listening techniques can cultivate calm, empathetic dialogues which foster the exchange of thoughtful and affirming words.

Families and individuals who are dealing with the effects of substance abuse can benefit from my clinical experience in dual-diagnosis treatment settings, family therapy training, and coordination of care with other treatment providers.

With career consultations, forming a collaborative alliance with a seasoned H.R. professional can help refine your strategic goals, develop a well-reasoned game plan, and embrace the joy of the hunt for rewarding employment with curiosity and boldness. Clients seem to benefit from my multi-disciplinary background, experience with major career transitions, and a pragmatic, goal-directed approach to managing one’s career journey.

My background also includes:

• Trained in "Imago" couples counseling techniques
• Certified facilitator with the Prepare/Enrich relationship assessment tool. 
• LCPC license in Maryland (#LC4164)
• PC license in Pennsylvania (#PC0147150)
• Board-Approved Supervisor for Maryland LGPCs
• NCC accreditation with the National Board of Certified Counselors. 
• BA degrees in English and Psychology, M.S. in Business, M.S. in Counseling Psychology
• Active collaboration with other therapists in several networks and practice settings
