I am pleased to announce that I have opened my clinical practice in Frederick, MD.
My degree from Hofstra University is in both Clinical and School Psychology. I worked for 2 years as a School Psychologist before entering private practice in Columbia, MD. Deciding to ask for help is a difficult step for most people. The fear of the unknown, what people might say or think, or just acknowledging that there is a problem can stop someone for asking for assistance.
Therapy is working on areas of your life in order to improve yourself. It is also working through grief, trauma, or other life changes. There are times when we all need a little help in order to see these problems clearly or to try a different approach in solving these problems.
My area of expertise is working with troubled children and adolescents, including those with ADD/ADHD, anxiety, oppositional defiant disorder, depression, and antisocial behaviors.
My practice also includes counseling adults with issues of depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, including clients with PTSD, and obsessive-compulsive disorders.
If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please call your 911 number for emergency assistance or check the inside front cover page of your telephone book for local crisis services.
