We love what we do! We get to help you live a happier, more balanced life. Insight Into Action Therapy is a group of experts in their fields. If you are struggling with an addiction, substance use, relationships, mood disorders, or the areas listed, we can help. Therapy is more than just talking. You will get support, perspective, guidance, and tools on your unique situation. Insight offers individual, group, play, family, play, and couples therapy as well as psychological and psychiatric evaluations, medication management, on-site drug and alcohol testing, and court ordered evaluation and treatment. Insight knows substance use occurs on a spectrum and that not everyone who struggles has an addiction. We specialize in harm reduction psychotherapy and alcohol moderation, lead by three time author and nationally recognized trainer, Cyndi Turner. We also offer MATMOUD, including Suboxone and the Vivitrol shot. Please visit our website, check out our bios, and call one of us. If we are not the right fit, we will connect you to someone who is.

Being part of your personal journey is such a privilege. There is nothing more satisfying than watching clients reclaim their lives and truly transform. Therapy and peak performance psychology is about empowerment and accessing your inner potential. It’s about realizing your strengths and applying those inner resources to overcome what has been holding you back. It’s about challenging self-limiting beliefs and gaining insight into the obstacles that are getting in your way, learning how to remove them and applying that insight to make the changes necessary to achieve your goals. I work differently with every client offering a tailored approach to your unique needs and goals. I don’t do “one size fits all” or overly generalized approaches. My goal is not to merely band-aid a symptom or maintain the status quo because we can accomplish so much more than that. Our focus will be on resolving your concerns at the core so that you can truly THRIVE with a sense of freedom and power. I have a passion for the mind body connection, enhancing peak performance and psychophysiological approaches to treatment. I apply a whole person (360 degree) perspective that promotes healing for both the mind and body as well as increased performance and optimal functioning. I would describe my style as an insight-oriented approach that is warm, genuine, laid back and thought-provoking. I value authenticity, keeping it real, and a good sense of humor. My clients tell me I’m very personable, compassionate and accepting, which puts them immediately at ease. Sessions with me are casual, comfortable and feel conversational in nature. I work best with clients who are insightful, motivated to make a change, and want to work hard to achieve their goals.

I aim to create a warm, non-judgmental space where you feel safe to openly share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Through active listening and collaborative dialogue, we will work together to help you gain new insights, develop coping skills, and create positive changes in your life.

My communication style is calm and personable. I empathize with and challenge the perspectives of people I work with.

I have a comforting, supportive, and personable style. Sitting with me feels like a natural conversation with collective and meaningful exploration and discovery.

Welcome! I’m so glad you are reaching out! Finding a therapist who is able to listen and understand your particular needs is key. When I meet with you for the first time, I want to learn who you are as a person. In addition to diagnosis and issues of concern, I want to know your life story. Are there patterns that recur in your life? What are your strengths? What matters to you? Once I have a good understanding, we can decide jointly what approach is likely to help you most. When you come for counseling, you want to start to feel better right away. By incorporating evidence-based coping skills from the first session, I help folks get some immediate stress relief. At the same time, we will also address any underlying issues to achieve more long-term gains.

If you are going through a difficult time, finding a therapist should be the least stressful part of your journey. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor, and I have been working in the field of counseling for over twenty years now. I have worked with many issues, including depression, anxiety, life transitions and trauma. I will always work to provide an empathetic non-judgmental and safe space. If you are stuck or sick of struggling please reach out. Please call or email the office. I would love to hear from you to see how we can begin working together.

Feeling stuck in your relationship? Grieving a loss that others don’t seem to understand? Or struggling with anxiety that’s quietly hijacking your day-to-day life? You don’t have to face it alone. I help individuals and couples navigate anxiety, grief, and relationship conflict with compassion, clarity, and direction. My approach is rooted in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and systems-based counseling, which means I don’t just look at symptoms, I help you identify strengths, shift patterns, and build new ways forward. Whether you're in the middle of a crisis or just feeling numb and disconnected, therapy can be a space to reset. I use evidence-based techniques, paired with a healthy dose of empathy and occasional humor, to help clients feel both seen and supported. I believe healing happens when we feel safe enough to be real, and I create an environment that allows just that. Clients often come to me when they’re overwhelmed by relationship tension, family challenges, personal loss, or internal pressure to "keep it all together." Together, let's explore what’s working, what’s not, and what new choices are available to you. I’m licensed in Maryland, Virginia, Florida, and Connecticut, and I offer virtual therapy for busy professionals and couples who want expert support without commuting or rearranging their lives. If you’re ready to move from surviving to thriving, whether in your relationship, your grief, or your inner world, let’s work together to build connection, clarity, and healing.
