About My Practice
Positive Energy Solutions is centered at my home office in Gambrills, MD. I also have an office in Crownsville, MD at East-West Healing Arts, where I share space with other complementary practitioners. See map here.
My mission is to alleviate suffering by helping people change. A safe and caring environment encourages honest and authentic self-reflection. By listening intently to clients’ ways of experiencing life, I can help them see their strengths and challenges more clearly and facilitate their finding their way to greater satisfaction. Clients are gently encouraged to practice what they have learned in therapy in their everyday lives.
Imagination, brain science, energy work, and systems theory come together in the way I practice. Clients go beyond insight to develop skills in managing unhelpful thoughts and moods, and increasing positive thoughts, feelings, and relationships.

These are some approaches my clients have benefited from:
|
|
|
Guided imagery engages the imagination to promote healing, relieve stress, and reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and trauma.
|
|
|
Positive psychology helps clients identify their strengths and use them to face challenges. Learning gratitude and optimism facilitates emotional resilience.
|
|
|
Cognitive-behavioral therapy can teach clients to reverse habits of negative or anxious thinking and build new neural pathways.
|
|
|
Bilateral brain stimulation, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), accelerates learning to regulate emotions, enhancing performance, and processing past traumas and core negative beliefs.
|
|
|
Emotionally focused therapy has been shown to be the most effective approach to couples therapy. Couples can learn to transform the negative dance they have developed into a positive experience of connection.
|
|
|
Narrative therapy uses metaphor, story, journaling, and letters to help overcome obstacles and advance goals.
