Psychotherapist

As a therapist who is interested in the well-being of my clients, I have come to trust in the truth that people hold deep within themselves the answers to their greatest challenges. There is within the human psyche a deep well-spring and desire for comfort, healing and wholeness. My many years in ministry with diverse populations has enhanced my ability to actively engage people in a non-judgmental manner, listen to them as they share their stories and assist them in examining the many questions and struggles they face. In offering a client-centered approach to therapy, I create a safe environment for the client where change can occur.

I have worked extensively with people with HIV and AIDS; those dealing with issues associated with sexual orientation; those concerned about substance abuse or addiction; and with sexual compulsivity. I have expertise addressing issues with grief and loss and with facing the challenges presented by health concerns. A fundamental part of my experience is to work with others to face the existential issues and the spiritual crises that occur in their lives. As I do this work, I am reminded that it is possible to live fully into the questions we all have as we journey through life. As I assist others, I try to offer them compassion, hope and healing.

I am a Licensed as a Clinical Social Worker in the Sate of Maryland and in the District of Columbia and am a member of the National Association of Social Workers.
