“…real care means the willingness to help each other in making our brokenness into the gateway to joy.” Henri J.M. Nouwen

By the time you make the call for counseling, Life has taken a toll in some serious regard. Brokenness has come upon you in relationship, in spirit, in feeling overwhelmed by challenges. In a serendipitous manner, we come together, as you seek healing and I, as your counselor, strive to be a help and an encourager into a new and brighter day. It is a deep honor and privilege for me to embrace the broken soul and to be trusted to join in the journey from being lost, stuck, or in pain into the possibility of wellness and joy.

Pamela is a licensed clinical professional counselor with a master’s degree in pastoral counseling from Loyola University Maryland. Over her years, she has treated individuals across the lifespan. At present, she has a devotion to helping the Medicare and Disability populations - a group that she recognizes is under served. Pam comes alongside the individual, tailoring a holistic, integrative, and creative approach in counseling.

Pam received a strong calling into the field of professional counseling in mid-life. Before her work at Vital Sources, she used her degree in music therapy/ music education in the fields of special education and early childhood. Later, she joined the staff at her church as an associate in pastoral care. Pam and her husband, both originally from Western New York, love calling the mild mid-Atlantic their home. Three children fill out their family, two of whom joined the family through the joy of adoption. The simple pleasures of friends and family, music, a faith community, and hiking with her golden retrievers bring enrichment to Pam’s life.
