About SEEN (Support, Empowerment, Enrichment, Network) Services

As a licensed therapist in Maryland with over three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and personal challenges. My practice centers on creating compassionate, affirming spaces for clients navigating diverse experiences—including LGBTQ+ journeys, workplace stress, aging, chronic health conditions, and emotional wellness.

I didn't become a therapist because I had it all figured out.

I became one because I didn't, and I learned the hard way what it means to fight your way back.

I spent 30 years working for the federal government, navigated a toxic workplace that put me through things I still can't fully believe happened, and eventually made the choice that terrified me most: I walked away. Packed up my life. Moved to New Zealand. Started over at an age when most people are slowing down.

And I have zero regrets.

I've helped both of my parents die at home with dignity. I've studied aging at Johns Hopkins. I've worked with caregivers who were drowning, federal employees who didn't know what hit them, and people who just needed someone to look them in the eye and say: you're not crazy, this is hard, and you're going to be okay.

I have a potty mouth, a deep respect for authenticity, and a very low tolerance for therapy that doesn't actually help. When you work with me, I expect you to show up as you are, and I'll do the same.

If you're looking for someone who has actually lived some life? You found her.

I bring deep expertise in addressing depression, addiction, self-esteem challenges, and life changes. My approach is holistic and person-centered, focusing on empowering clients to develop resilience, self-understanding, and meaningful coping strategies. Whether you're struggling with isolation, panic, body image concerns, or seeking support through significant life shifts, I'm committed to walking alongside you with genuine empathy and professional guidance. My therapeutic work honors individual experiences across multicultural contexts, with a particular dedication to supporting marginalized communities.
