phone: (410) 236-1470My specialty is coming alongside clients who experience overwhelming anxiety in everyday life situations and helping them learn new ways to approach and defuse the anxiety they experience. I also work with clients with a wide range of other problems, including OCD, hoarding, PTSD, fear of flying, depression, interpersonal issues, and other life challenges. I see adults and children (11 years and older). When working with children and young adults, I generally use a systems-oriented approach, as I believe you cannot separate a child from the family and environment in which they function.
Our work is a collaborative experiential process in which you and I agree to work together on concrete treatment goals by exploring what it is that you value and how you can utilize those values to obtain the goals that you desire in treatment.
There is often a perception that mental health workers will not respect the faith traditions of those who are spiritually aware, and as a practicing Christian my prayer is that I can become a bridge between these two sometimes opposing worldviews.
