Therapists in 21029

Therapy opens a door to new awareness and growth as we give ourselves permission to understand our needs and feelings. It has been an honor for me to be a part of this process and to witness the courage, integrity and resiliency of the human spirit. Over the last several decades, I have worked with adolescents, adults, couples and families, helping them to identify the blind spots we sometimes have that block our inner truths. I have been privileged to guide this process by creating a safe space and facilitating the hard work of self exploration and self revelation that leads to improved self care.

My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment for you to explore issues and challenges in your life and working towards solutions and goals with a reflective, dynamic and encouraging professional.

It can be difficult to find a therapist who is a good fit. Oftentimes, our needs are complex. Whether you are looking for ways to best support your child with feeding or behavioral concerns, struggling to manage feelings of worry, or seeking to better understand why you experience certain emotions, there is more than meets the eye. Previous experiences, life circumstances, personal preferences, and many other factors are important things to consider when defining your needs. At the end of the day, you are likely looking for someone who can pay attention to the many different personal experiences and attributes that make you unique.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with extensive experiencing diagnosing and providing mental health treatment using an evidenced based trauma informed approach. I work with a wide range of concerns with a focus on treating problems from trauma and distress. Using a holistic approach to treatment, I am Certified EMDR provider with EMDRIA and also use many other processing interventions. I have witnessed relief from trauma-related burdens stemming from a collection of root causes or incidents.

Life is challenging and ever-changing. You may find you need someone to help you navigate through these life transitions. Parenting can be a challenge, especially if you have a child diagnosed with autism, developmental delays or intellectual delays. As adults, you are trying to manage it all. It can be harder when you are struggling with depression and/or anxiety, bipolar disorder or addictions. It is time for you to take care of yourself. We will build on your strengths and help you to find ways to meet your needs.

Life can be very stressful as you try to navigate through numerous challenges and struggles. I have worked extensively with clients who have experienced anxiety, depression, family discord, marital/relationship issues, chronic health issues and life transitions. As your therapist, I will provide a nurturing, empathic and insightful therapeutic experience. I will communicate with your psychiatrist and other medical providers to optimize treatment.

Parenting a child who has temper tantrums is difficult. You may find yourself frequently correcting your child for acting before he/she thinks about what is going on. Raising a child who is diagnosed with autism, developmental delays, or intellectual delays can be hard to manage. Your child may excel at school but then struggles with worry beyond what is appropriate for the situation back at home. Not to mention the worry or depression you may be feeling as the parent trying to juggle everything. It is time to find the help you need.

Life is not always a walk in the park. Stress, worry, & concern can feel overwhelming to the point that things feel out of control. I find it very important to allow a safe, non-judgmental, therapeutic space for clients to feel welcomed and comfortable. I am a board certified Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Maryland that provides individual counseling services to adults and adolescents. I have experience working with individuals seeking help due to increased anxiety, depression, substance abuse concerns, trauma, communication /relationship challenges, grief & loss, and general life challenges.

I believe that counseling is a collaborative effort. I will work closely with you to help you determine what is causing you the most distress. I am committed to providing a secure, non-judgmental relationship. Together we can plan a course of transformation.

We all have challenges in our lives and sometimes they lead to feelings of stress, sadness, loss, loneliness and dissatisfaction. Whether you are an adult or the parent of a child struggling with these feelings - you deserve to feel better. I believe that during these difficult times support, understanding and validation can help you to begin to establish goals and address your issues. Using a variety of modalities that include CBT, mindfulness, play therapy and family systems theory we can work together to achieve your goals and create a personal "tool box" of strategies to help you now and in the future.

Are you ready to heal? How does finding relief, internal peace, and gaining skills for you or a loved one that will last a lifetime sound? If you are ready, then you are ready for EMDR. I work with children and adults and have over 20 years of experience managing children and family programs, as well as providing home-based therapy for families. While working with children and adults, each requires different approaches and therapy modalities, my goal remains the same: to facilitate a safe place where individuals, whether big or small, have the opportunity to heal.

Relationships. We never really explicitly learn how to "do" this whole relationship thing, at least not in school. Are there rules for relationships? How about guidelines to help guide us? We know about general advice like when your aunt sits you down at the family reunion reminding you to just "be yourself," but how helpful are these generalities? If you're baffled, confused, frustrated, or simply wish you had a better relationship, you're not alone. In fact, you're part of the majority. And based on neuroscience, attachment theory, and ancient wisdom, you can improve and experience a better relationship.

Psychotherapy is a unique opportunity for clients to explore personal growth work, clarify goals, improve self esteem, reduce stress and better understand themselves and their relationships with others. For 25 years, I've provided counseling for children, adolescents and adults dealing with a range of personal, emotional and mental health issues. In a quiet, relaxed setting, I work with clients to develop effective communication, decision making and problem solving skills to deal with challenges they face. I incorporate extensive training in cognitive, behavioral, dialectical and family therapy as well as relaxing breathing, storytelling and metaphors to help clients achieve more balanced, fulfilling lives.

I am a compassionate couples therapist, certified in Imago Relationship Therapy and trained in Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) and Gottman Couples Therapy Levels 1 and 2. My approach emphasizes positive and open communication between partners, and I strive to give my couples tools to manage conflict so that it's not destructive to the relationship. I welcome couples to my practice who need a thoughtful, honest, and supportive therapist to work through issues and problems. For more information, please visit howardcountymarriagecounseling.com.

Quarantining at home 24/7 with your spouse is bringing significant challenges to your relationship. The things that got under your skin in the past are now magnified to new heights. You are stressed out enough about the virus and now your marriage is stressing you out more. This is a tough time for everyone across the globe. The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives and right now our relationships are being taxed like never before. But this can be a time of reconnection and growth for both of you, as well as a win win for your relationship.

In working with families and individuals, I use both traditional psychotherapies such as positive psychology, psychodynamic techniques, and cognitive and behavioral therapies. In addition, I am trained in mind/body techniques such as EMDR and hypnosis. I also believe in the healing connections we make with nature and will often use pet therapy in assisting my clients to reach their goals.
