I am committed to helping people find relief and greater happiness. Twenty-five years of experience as a psychotherapist confirms my belief in the power of understanding and the possibility of change.
The fear of change can become the excitement of discovery; avoidance and running away can transform into assertiveness; holding back can give way to reaching out; confusion can crystallize into clarity and confidence; emotional pain can transform into patience and wisdom.Together, we can work to help you find the freedom and fulfillment you seek.

I am a preferred provider with Carefirst BlueCross BlueShield PPO and FEP plans. I will submit claims to Carefirst BlueCross BlueShield on your behalf. My professional services may also qualify for out-of-network reimbursement, in which case I will provide a monthly invoice for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
