Therapists in 21210

The stresses of life occasionally take such a toll on us that we need an experienced professional. I have 30 years as a mental health therapist and specialize in trauma, loss, addiction, depression, anxiety and medical trauma. I also work with individuals suffering from the physical issues that often accompany a series of stressful events. I see adults, couples, and adolescents. I find a unique blend of cognitive/behavioral, psychodynamic, mindfulness, bibliotherapy and expressive techniques for each client. I also provide clients with community supports and resources to supplement our work together when appropriate.

Thank you for your interest in my profile. I work with clients who need support, a clearer understanding of themselves and their environment, and are ready for change. Clients struggling with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, PTSD, grief, schizophrenia, bipolar, and personality disorders, as well as relationships, career support, aging, and other daily life issues are great candidates for therapy with me. I see individual clients of any age (however under the age of 16, parent/caregiver collaboration is required), families, and couples. I offer a kind, supportive approach, with plenty structure and self-empowerment.

I provide counseling for individuals and families. I specialize in family-systems models, attachment oriented therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I have worked with many individuals and families that struggle with anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, substance abuse, and abusive relationships. In addition, I have experience working with children that are struggling with adoption. By utilizing an individualized insight-oriented approach, I can help both children and adults process emotions and achieve positive progress to reach their goals. I am a strong believer of the mind/body/spirit connection.

As a therapist, I apply a family systems approach to help individuals navigate through life. My practice extends to couples, children, adolescents, and young adults dealing with general stress, life transitions, grief, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I also enjoy providing premarital counseling to couples seeking to build a stronger foundation before embarking on their marital journey.

I’m a licensed therapist having worked with a diverse range of clients and struggles. I'm confident and dedicated to helping you reach your desired goals, and offer a laid-back, non-judgemental approach. I am able to offer a Christian perspective in therapy for those who desire it; however, it is always at the request of the client. I do indeed work with individuals of all different faiths, religions, and backgrounds though.

As a licensed clinical psychologist I enjoy helping individuals, couples, and families from myriad backgrounds see their strengths and overcome their challenges in order to achieve the highest level of functioning possible. I particularly enjoy challenges and have shared success with clients and families in situations and coping with problems which had seemed insurmountable or had lasted for many years. Using an integrated approach, I make sure that whatever I do is in the best interest of the client and is effective, adaptable, and most of all realistic with respect to where the client is and their goals in treatment.

Do you find yourself wanting more out of life and relationships? Wanting to feel more understood, connected, alive? We're so often taught that it's not OK to be sad, angry, overwhelmed, or dissatisfied. Shame about these feelings keeps us quiet and alone. True strength is having the courage to show up as our authentic, imperfect self. And only when we let others see us can we experience real connection and live wholeheartedly. Whatever your story, it deserves to be heard. When we share our story in a safe space, it becomes easier to own its painful parts so we can gain freedom through letting go--and find healing, meaning, and joy.

My therapeutic style focuses on being trauma informed and using various therapeutic modalities to create a client-centered setting to achieve maximum growth and self-empowerment.

Are you struggling with feelings of sadness or worry? Perhaps you are seeking clarity about your identity, adjusting to a transition, or wish to change behaviors that are not serving you. Sometimes it may feel like you can't improve things on your own. It shows strength and resilience to reach out for help needed. Through personal empowerment we will address the struggles you experience and find sustainable ways for you to achieve a happy and healthy life. Our work together will help you see that the most influential assets lie in your own personal strengths and resilience.
