I have been a private practice and hospital based psychiatric therapist for over twenty-five years in Baltimore, Maryland
It is my belief and practice that we are more than our limited thinking minds. If you have tried other traditional therapies and find them lacking, you may find my transpersonal approach to be of benefit. The transpersonal is defined as "experiences in which the sense of identity or self extends beyond the individual or personal to encompass wider aspects of humankind.
It is a holistic approach focusing on your potential and has been defined as "development beyond conventional, personal or individual levels". Member: Transpersonal Psychology Association, National Guild of Hypnotists, Past President; Maryland Society for Clinical Social Work.
I have expertise in the integration of Eastern and Western psychotherapies and spiritualities with psychodynamic principles, as well as contemplative and meditative practices. and EEG biofeedback.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
