Therapists in Reisterstown, MD

Life can be complex, difficult, and overwhelming. Maybe you’re here because you’ve hit a wall or feel worn down. Maybe you’re anxious about the pandemic or the tension you see and feel in the world around you. Maybe you're grieving the loss of a person or community that made life feel safe and normal. Maybe you feel completely alone, unsupported, and invisible. I have felt these things, too, and would be honored to create a compassionate, non-judgmental space for you to process, explore, and heal.

Helping individuals and couples to rewrite the stories that no longer serve them has become a passion; exploring family dynamics and facilitating both individual and environmental changes.

I begin therapy by building a strong relationship with my clients. It is my goal that you feel safe and cared for when we are together, and I do my best to step into your experience with you and feel what you are feeling. Clients find me nurturing and have confidence that I am helping them reach their goals. I enjoy working with couples, children, and individuals. With couples, I help uncover destructive relationship patterns and establish new patterns that bring healing, and mutual satisfaction. With children, I provide play therapy and work as a team with their parents and caregivers to reach their goals.

I heard it said somewhere "there are two kinds of people, people with issues and those without". So If your are reading this and have challenges you wish to overcome, lets talk.

I assist individuals to help themselves through their challenges. My approach to therapy encourages clients to experience an opportunity for healing, developing skills, and changing behavior.

I specialize in working with individuals to make behavior and lifestyle changes. My unique approach to working with clients is based on my clinical training in behavior analysis, psychotherapy and integrative nutrition. As a Board Certified and Licensed Behavior Analyst we will examine prior conditioning, learn adaptive behaviors and implement systems to help you feel your best, while working from a holistic client centered perspective. As an integrative health coach we will focus on areas of life that are out of balance. Often we get stuck in a certain area of life (relationships, career, parenting) and need support.

You just finished a productive day at work and felt pretty good about yourself. Then that voice pipes up. “Remember you can’t do anything right” “Everyone is judging you behind your back?” “You try so hard but always mess up.” “You can’t win.” No matter what you do, this inner critic never stops. Every time your confidence starts to grow, and you consider trying something new, that voice returns to fill you with fear and doubt. It seems like you only know how to focus on the bad and never give yourself any credit for the good. You wish you could somehow silence this part of you, but it feels hopeless. You don’t know what to do.

You may be seeking therapy because you need extra support coping with the stress of daily life. Maybe you are working hard to regulate intense emotions or to feel like past traumas are truly in the past. I believe in working together to tailor an approach that honors your unique needs and fosters a safe space for you to heal and grow. I am licensed as a counselor and an art therapist, so our work together could be traditional talk therapy, as well as art therapy. Whether you consider yourself an artist or haven't touched a crayon since grade school, art therapy can be a dynamic way to learn healthy skills and find greater meaning.
