We offer a variety of techniques to guide you into creating a pathway to healing and a direction that feels increasingly aligned with your own sense of inner core purpose. Over the years of counseling others, I have developed a specialty in working with depression, codependency issues, dual diagnosis & survivors of abuse. Since relocating to the area in 1999, I have been focusing on working with individuals, families, couples and groups. I lead two therapeutic support groups for women. I am also a dance/movement therapist offering a creative alternative on the therapeutic path. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Drug and Alcohol Counselor and a Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist. I am licensed in West Virginia and Maryland and have been in practice since 1988, working in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings. My background includes assisting clients at the John Hopkins Intensive Women's Outpatient Clinic as well as the Walter P. Carter Acute Psychiatric Inpatient Hospital, both located in Baltimore, MD. In Hagerstown, MD, I was on staff at the Washington County Mental Health Center. Since 2003, I have been in private practice in Shepherdstown, WV.
