My Approach to Helping

You’ve taken a critical first step toward starting to feel better: you are exploring your options for therapy. For this, you should give yourself a pat on the back—starting the process of reaching out for help is never easy. The next step is finding the right therapist for you. I specialize in working with people who are not getting what they want or need out of relationships (including their relationship with themselves). Many of my clients describe being hard on themselves, having difficulty forming relationships, or not feeling fulfilled by their relationships.

Whatever it is that is getting in the way for you, I can help! We will work together to explore problematic patterns in your life (especially in relationships), address negative self-talk that is keeping you down, determine how to start making the changes that you have been wanting, and help you live a life with purpose and meaning.

If you are ready to start working on making changes and feeling better, let’s talk! To schedule a free 15-minute consultation, you can 1) call me at the phone number listed above, 2) send me a message by clicking the "Email Me" button, or 3) click "Book Now" in order to schedule your consultation online. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. I will respond to your message very quickly. I look forward to hearing from you!

This means that in addition to seeing clients in the states in which I am licensed (MD and PA), I am able to see clients via telehealth who reside in a PSYPACT participating state; this currently includes 40+ states.
