About
Relief is just ahead, with an integrative approach aimed to heal the mind & the body.
You don’t need to try harder to change.
Meditate more. Exercise more. Or, keep going through trial & error of different medication or therapeutic techniques.
Under the pressure of:
Too much stress.
Not feeling your best.
Floundering through different therapies or treatments.
Enduring feelings that seem too big to handle for too long.
Goals that you want or need for yourself or your loved ones seem unreachable.
Struggling with maintaining sobriety.
Things from your past that are resurfacing.
In an unstable relationship.
Recovering from a brain injury.
Dealing with brain fog.
Life may have gotten too overwhelming and confusing to handle alone and you are not sure what to do next.
The truth is that healing is often about helping the brain to reorganize neural patterns that are holding you back from successful outcomes in therapy. Neurofeedback can be a valuable tool in facilitating this process and supporting your path towards overall well-being.
I have learned and watched time and time again the positive and successful results that an integrative approach yields.
With over 28 years of experience as a licensed psychotherapist, I have been dedicated to helping individuals and families of all ages achieve clarity and emotional well-being. Since 2003, I have maintained a practice in the Towson, Maryland area, following my prior work in New York City where I focused on supporting teens and families with mental health and addiction issues.
My credentials include an undergraduate degree in Family Studies from the University of Maryland, College Park in 1992, a Masters degree in Clinical Social Work from Columbia University in 1994, and additional training in Addictions Counseling from the Rutgers University School of Alcoholism Studies. In 2011, I completed EMDR therapy training at the EMDR Institute, Inc., and in 2016, I underwent specialized training with Ochs Labs to provide LENS neurofeedback.
I take pleasure in uncovering the root causes of present-day challenges by examining the layers from the past that have led to this moment. Factors such as birth trauma, head injuries, ear infections, and emotional trauma experienced during youth can affect your body and emotions in ways that may still impact you today. It may not be apparent to you, but in our journey together, it makes a significant difference in your results. These past experiences can significantly impact a person's present-day struggles, and by working together to identify and address them, we can create lasting change and help you achieve your goals.
My approach is rooted in holistic healing, placing a strong emphasis on the mind-body connection to foster lasting success and well-being for my clients. With a deep commitment to personalized care and attention to individual needs, my primary goal is to guide you towards achieving your goals and reaching your full potential.
Within my practice, I combine the power of neurofeedback and other physiological interventions with psychotherapy to accelerate the healing and recovery process. I take great pleasure in working with individuals who have sought alternatives after not finding success with traditional treatment methods. Together, we will explore a holistic approach to healing and thriving, transcending mere symptom management.
No matter the reasons that led you here, our collaboration will revolve around selecting the most suitable approach for your needs. Together, we will embark on a transformative journey towards optimal well-being and fulfillment.
You’re in good hands, and you are not alone.
Helping people is what I do best.
