Therapists in 20817
Hello! Thanks for visiting my profile. I’m originally from Philadelphia and now based in Baltimore. I am licensed in both Maryland and Texas (where I previously lived and went to graduate school). I have worked in the social services field for over 15 years and have been a licensed social worker and practicing therapist for 5 years. Most of my experience has consisted of working with survivors of violence (family, intimate partner, and/or sexual violence) as well as with Spanish-speaking immigrants. I enjoy working with caregivers and their children and with mixed status immigrant families.

Are you or a loved one struggling with addiction? You're not alone and there's hope for a brighter tomorrow. I have had the privilege of witnessing countless transformations and guided individuals towards reclaiming their lives from the grips of addiction. With over two decades of dedicated service including the development of the Juvenile Drug Court in Montgomery County, I am deeply committed to supporting individuals and families in their journey towards recovery and empowerment. My extensive experience spans various age groups, with a particular focus on adolescents and adults grappling with substance use disorders.

I currently have daytime availability. As an experienced therapist, I begin with where you are. My initial goal is to build a trusting relationship and create space to explore the challenges you are experiencing. I view myself as a scientist—listening, examining, observing, and asking the questions needed to create a plan. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them meet their goals and live their best lives.

Sometimes life can throw us challenges that feel too difficult to bear alone. As a therapist, it is my passion to create a warm and safe environment to support my clients through whatever struggles you may endure. I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients, and often see children, adolescents, families, and adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, body image or eating struggles, trauma, or any stress resulting from a life transition. Viewing therapy through a holistic lens, I see each client as more than just a set of presenting problems, but as a whole person with a unique set of strengths, struggles, values, and goals.

Everyone struggles with difficulties in their life. Working with a therapist provides a safe environment to face these issues directly and learn healthier coping skills. I believe that the client-therapist relationship is of the utmost importance in the therapeutic process and is an important predictor of the success of therapy. I enjoy helping clients to achieve their fullest potential through the development of realistic and measurable goals for therapy. I have 16 years of experience working with adults and adolescents and have targeted working with those individuals 18 years and older.

Our connections to one another and the communities we work and play in are foundational to our health and well-being. It is through relationship that we learn about ourselves and how best to be in relationship with others. At times, stress can threaten to overwhelm, priorities can become unclear and uncertainties can mount. We all benefit from a consistent and trusting relationship in which to identify our feelings, thoughts and behaviors, to be supported in our efforts to determine and utilize our own strengths and resources, to build our coping strategies, and begin to create the change we choose to work on in any stage of life

I believe in treating the underlying issues, not only the symptoms; and that supporting clients in gaining deeper self-awareness helps them understand those symptoms. My aim as your therapist is to provide a safe, judgment-free space; and in that space to validate, cheerlead, and challenge you. Most importantly, I'm here to walk through difficult times by your side, and to empower you for when you must walk alone.
