Not all therapists are the same. I help my clients find practical solutions to the issues facing them, and together we find ways to change the patterns behind these issues. Whether depression, anxiety, or dealing with a difficult life event, the situations facing us can feel overwhelming. For over 20 years I've empowered children, families, and adults as they move toward their goals. I am experienced in school and community settings, as well as inpatient, and I enjoy working with people of all backgrounds and orientations. I have a friendly style that sets people at ease, paired with an eye for finding the points of misalignment in a confusing system. I use an action-oriented strengths-based approach, meaning that we work together to make direct progress using the skills you already possess. I take CareFirst and Cigna, and I offer a sliding scale to make sure it's affordable.
