Counseling Approach/Philosophy:

My philosophy of life defines my approach to counseling; that all of
us are more alike than different.  We all want love, meaning and
purpose to our lives.  Some­times we get lost on our way to these
ideals and that’s where therapy comes in.  Therapy can help us get
back on our own individual paths to wholeness.  

I use a variety of approaches as we all see, hear and process
information differently so part of the “art” of therapy is
deciphering what approach(s) works with each individual.  
Therapy only works well when there is a good rapport between
client and therapist so my first concern is establishing a trusting,
open relationship so all involved are working collaboratively
towards the client’s goal(s)

Education/Work Experience:

Graduated in 1992 from University of Maryland-Baltimore with an
MSW.  I worked in Baltimore City for various non-profit
organizations.  My work focused on adult HIV/AIDS clients,
substance abusers, homeless adults and people re-entering society
after incarceration.  I now provide individual counseling/therapy
to adults in Columbia, MD.
