Who I am
I work with individuals, couples, and families assisting them to better
communicate feelings which can lead to reducing stress and anger in the
home.
Much of my practice consists of assisting Couples to becoming more
emotionally connected and intimately engaged in their relationship.
I work in helping to identify stressors which heighten anxiety and teach
techniques to reduce stress and anxiety.
Another passion is to match others with their passion in life. I
look at one's whole life including self, family, leisure, income
responsibilities, gifts and interests. I see career as an integral part of
one's whole life.

About My Practice
I have been counseling others for over fifteen years and have helped
hundreds of clients in finding and fulfilling their inner
passions. In the process of clients discovering their passions many
have rediscovered their own natural gifts and abilities. Many clients have
found that by recognizing their transferable skill sets, transitioning
into a new career is much more accessible than they once thought. Visit

I can identify with my clients
As one who has gone through this career transitioning process myself, I
understand some of the challenges clients face. I am a former
public school educator. I have served as a youth director and volunteer
coordinator for non-profit organizations where I have recruited and
trained over 100 volunteers to serve locally and a-broad. I have
worked with clients in fields of higher education, construction
management, health care, engineering, advertising, and small

to complete my masters degree in the clinical counseling field. In 2007
I opened my private practice, Centerline Counseling in Severna Park,
Maryland and in 2010 I opened a second counseling office location in Ruxton
Towers, Ruxton Counseling Center in Towson, Maryland . In 2014, I moved
my Severna Park office and created Severna Park Wellness Center.
