Helping People Live Their Best Lives Through Professional Psychotherapy

As a licensed therapist in Silver Spring, MD, I know how struggling with stress can lead to feeling depressed, moody, or anxious. Life can be quite challenging, but with over 15 years of experience in psychotherapy services, I can help you navigate these difficulties.

Through self-awareness and self-acceptance, my goal is to help you move through the world with peace and confidence. I offer in-person and online therapy tailored to your needs, providing a safe and private space for meaningful growth.

My journey as a psychotherapist is shaped by my diverse experiences:

• Former Army Military Intelligence Officer (Active Duty and Reserves)
• Previous Career in Corporate America as an Account Manager
• 40 Years of Highest Level Security Clearance to Understand Importance of Maintaining Security Clearances

This background allows me to offer a deeply understanding and confidential approach to therapy.

A Private, Insurance-Free Approach

To ensure complete confidentiality, I do not accept insurance. This means that no information is submitted to insurance companies or government agencies—your records remain private and securely stored in my office rather than in electronic databases. Your personal journey is yours alone, without external tracking or oversight.

As your dedicated therapist, I am committed to walking this path with you, offering support, understanding, and respect for your privacy every step of the way.
