More About Me and My Services
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland and have close to 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents and their families. I have experience working with children and teens who are struggling with anxiety, depression, school phobia, social issues, changes within the family, grief and loss, learning disabilities and ADHD. I have been successful in helping children and adolescents through the challenging issues that arise during this time in their lives so that they can thrive and reach their full potential. I offer a warm, respectful and genuine therapeutic style while also collaborating with the child and family to find better ways to manage their particular challenges, and to become more resilient and self-aware.
I provide therapy from a CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) approach, and encourage my clients to challenge themselves using their own strenghts and resiliency. techniques. We will explore thoughts and behaviors that are creating anxiety and find solutions and skills that enable clients to maintain a more positive sense of well being. I also encourage my clients to practice strategies to reduce anxiety and increase positive emotions. The overall outcome is for the my clients to be able to thrive and live a more fulfilling life.
It can be difficult to take that first step in obtaining therapy but it may be the best decision you can make for your child, yourself and/oryour family.

Insurance and Fees
I am an out-of network provider. I will provide a monthly invoice/superbill to you so that you can submit the required forms and information to your insurance provider for possible reimbursement. It is a good idea to contact your insurance company in advance to see what portion of fees for therapy will be reimbursed.
