Therapists in 21045

I have been in private practice for 19 years in Columbia Maryland, and provide individual, couple and group psychotherapy to adults and adolescents. My personal philosophy has always been to be of service to others. I have created a process to bring in to conscious awareness patterns of limiting beliefs and blockages in a place where healing and personal growth can flourish in an environment that is safe, confidential and free of judgement. The journey to the authentic self is one that requires courage, determination, self-reflection and unconditional love of yourselves.

Hello and welcome. I’ve devoted my entire career to helping kids. Is your child, adolescent or young adult… Feeling depressed? Having unrealistic or unusual worries? Engaging in hair pulling or skin picking? Not speaking in social situations? Having anxiety when away from a parent? Experiencing low self-esteem? Struggling to make connections with peers? Having trouble adjusting to family changes? Trying to recover from a traumatic event? Concerned about their transition into middle school or high school? Having difficulty adjusting in college? Asking to speak to a therapist?

Let's keep it real. Self work is difficult. Yet, you realized that you want to do things differently in your life. Keep going!! You want to once again experience happiness, a sense of control, a sense of peace, but are unsure how to get those things back. At times the picture seems blurry. It is difficult to see hope or even positives in lieu of emotional distress. Let me help you to clearly define the change you want to make to live a life of fulfillment. Through self-exploration we create hope, define our preferred future, and lessen fear. Add in a strong therapeutic relationship, and together, we create real change!

Selecting a therapist is an important decision. I believe that creating an environment where the client feels that the therapist has listened, shown empathy, and has genuine concern are some of the core conditions for a therapeutic relationship. Providing a client with helpful feedback in this safe, empathic environment promotes change and growth. A client that I work with may have a variety of concerns including having a relationship issue, going through a separation, having parenting concerns, experiencing depression, anxiety, or problems related to alcohol or drug misuse or abuse.

Life transitions may bring about unprecedented challenges that can evoke our deepest fears and anxieties. You’ve probably recognized ineffective patterns of behaviors and thoughts that have placed a strain in your relationships or perhaps you have recognized a level of discomfort in advocating for yourself and setting healthy boundaries with others leaving you feeling silenced and frustrated. Together we may uncover deeply rooted patterns of behavior and generational cycles of trauma that impact your current decisions/relationships and identify effective coping skills to help you troubleshoot and manage future problems with ease.

Are you a woman, wife or mother who feels stressed, overwhelmed and frustrated? Do you feel like running away? Are you suffering from a mid-life funk, realizing you are not where you want to be in life? Has life knocked you down and you are trying to get back up again with a new focus? Are you distant from Jesus and need some spiritual guidance to reconnect with your first love? Are you looking for a safe place to share your feelings, to gain insight to find solutions in life challenges? Today is a new day to start over again for you to feel empowered and be on a positive path of peace and well-being.

You are the person who exudes competence, effectiveness and power. Your most likely the individual who is high achiever within your family, community and/or your profession. Secretly though, you feel like your just winging it. Everyone sees Your success… no one sees the Sacrifice that it took to get there. You're a deep thinking POC professional who needs a relationally psychodynamic approach so you can discover a new way to relate to yourself and others. You want to find your footing in life and stop hedging, fumbling and running into a dead-end.

Congratulations! Acknowledgment is the first step to change, and the fact that you are reading this in your search for a therapist is that first step. I celebrate your transparency and boldness. I believe every human is worthy of respect and strive to provide a safe, warm, and non-judgmental therapeutic space.

Warm welcomes to you. How have you been feeling lately? Confused? Anxious? Angry? Overwhelmed? Stuck? I help individuals who face difficulties with accessing their emotions, understanding how their childhood impacts them as adults, self-exploration, mind-body connection, navigating through change and transitions, and healing from trauma.

Concerned about a recent change? Have an issue with your current relationship? Just need a space to process? Let's work together. I can imagine the concerns you have about starting therapy or maybe even switching to a new therapist. It's a daunting task. I've been there, and I'm here to support you with taking the next steps.

For over 20 years, I have worked with people facing a broad range of emotional and physical challenges. My interest in health psychology and experience working in medical settings leads me to often work with clients who wish to cope with and better manage chronic illness, chronic pain, and sleep issues; and address health habits to feel better. Another focus is addressing challenges with anxiety, depression, and stress. I also frequently help people explore many aspects of diversity, including issues impacting LGBTQ health.

Ever ask yourself, "I need someone to talk to." "I need to make changes." Have you endured trauma, feel depressed, or suffer from anxiety? Finding the support you need is NOT impossible. I believe therapy is not about “fixing” people but encouraging a space for self-care. I welcome my clients to show up as they are. I provide a nonjudgmental and empowering atmosphere. My goal as a therapist is to provide a warm, safe and collaborative environment. Clients can navigate and overcome all of their life’s challenges. I have 15 years of experience working with adults, adolescents, and children.
