ADHD Therapists in 21211

Hi! Finding a therapist can be hard - I hear that! I'm so glad you're here. I feel passionate about working with teens, adults and queer folks, often with a focus on trauma, anxiety, and ADHD - and - anyone who is just trying to figure it out! Being a human can be SO challenging! In our sessions we will honor your unique experiences and collaborate using evidence based approaches to figure out what actually feels helpful to you in the therapy room. This is your time & space to show up as your authentic self. All parts of you are welcome here to explore & build the tools you need to live your life with empowerment, hope, and meaning.

Stress, loneliness, problems with bullying or social media usage, problems in relationships, identity questions ...Life can be too much sometimes! When it feels overwhelming, call in others to be on your team. If you're okay with some dry humor and real talk, we'll probably be a good fit to work together. Whether you're 11 or 111, I have some tricks up my sleeve to help you. There's no shame in admitting when things have gotten beyond what you can handle on your own. It happens to all of us at some point! And you don't have to stay there. There's relief and peace waiting for you.

I am a queer identified clinical social worker who is dedicated to supporting queer, trans and gender-diverse youth, adolescents, adults and families. I have extensive experience in working with individuals who are navigating their sexuality and/or gender identity, as well as providing family support. I approach therapy from a liberation-focused framework, focusing on your strengths and identifying and confronting oppression-based and/or structural barriers. I provide gender affirming surgical evaluations and letters free of charge.

Currently accepting new clients! Welcome! I provide a safe and non judgmental environment where teens and adults can process their stories, gain insight and work through past and current challenges. I have over fifteen years experience providing therapy in a variety of treatment settings to adolescents through adulthood in all different stages of life. I work with clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, marital and/or family conflict, low self esteem, difficulty navigating a current or recent change in life experiences, adjustment to college, parenthood and/or experiencing increased stress managing day to day life.

When looking for a therapist, a person or couple may be unsure of how therapy can help them. Therapy helps people respond more effectively and rationally to the challenges of work, relationships, and life. I work within a collaborative framework to help clients find emotional and practical solutions to improve relationships, achieve their goals, and attain emotional well-being and happiness.

“You may not have signed up for a hero’s journey, but the second you fell down, got your butt kicked, suffered a disappointment, screwed up, or felt your heart break, it started. It doesn’t matter whether we are ready for an emotional adventure—hurt happens. And it happens to every single one of us. Without exception.” - Brene Brown

I work with young people and adults to identify problems, understand emotions, and improve our relationships with ourselves, our loved ones, and our world. I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to create a space for you to rest, explore vulnerability, and develop tools for introspection. I strive to create a non-judgmental atmosphere where you can become the best version of yourself. My approach to therapy is eclectic. I see our work through a trauma-informed, person-centered, culturally-sensitive lens.

With the demands of everyday life, our own emotional demands can often go unmet- causing pain, discomfort, bitterness, and frustration. Taking a step back from the responsibilities pulling us in all directions to closely examine our emotions and relationships can feel impossible, uncomfortable, or even intolerable. But if you're interested in pursuing therapy, you may have already realized the discomfort of things remaining "stuck" is worth trading for the discomfort that comes with growth. If you want to make changes and don't know where to start, talking it through with an empathic therapist can help.

Stressed, overwhelmed, about to lose your $%&?! Whether parenting, existing in the world as neuro-spicy, trying to navigate relationships, processing global tragedy, juggling multiple roles, I can relate and am here for you. My practice is inclusive, anti-racist, and I'm passionate about healing generational curses. Therapy with me is a judgement-free zone. We'll go at your pace, trusting your own wisdom and experiences. I love supporting the full family system: couples, families, and individuals across the lifespan. Whether managing anxiety, depression, or sorting through past trauma, compassion and openness will guide us.

My goal is to create an approachable and non-judgemental environment, in which you can discuss any concerns you may have. Maybe you need support in a recent life transition? Maybe you are experiencing intrusive or racing thoughts? Maybe issues from the past keep affecting your present day? Maybe you just came out to your family? I want to create a space in which you feel you are able to process these events.

I offer individual therapy to adults. I have many years of experience working with survivors of trauma, abuse, and neglect. Other areas of clinical interest and expertise include depression, anxiety, grief and loss, difficult family systems, vicarious trauma, professional burnout, exploration of gender identity, and issues surrounding pregnancy (infertility, miscarriage, postpartum depression, etc.)

Being fully seen and fully accepted by one’s life partner is a universal human need, the stuff of spirituality - an experience felt in the soul, not just the mind or the heart. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) provides a roadmap for how to get there. In my career I've seen a lot and worked with many different kinds of individuals; hence, I'm professional and nonjudgmental. While I enjoy being a social worker and therapist for all types of humans, my private practice is focused primarily on serving queer and trans couples. My office is located in Baltimore; I am also licensed in DC and serve couples there remotely.

My clients are unique individuals that become the central focus in our work together. By teaching practical application of therapeutic skills, clients are able to work on achieving personal goals in their everyday life. We collaborate to identify patterns of thought and behaviors that may underlie roadblocks to success, making desired changes to sustain achievement of your positive life goals. I integrate approaches and methods to fit your needs, working to support the development of a resilient core sense of identity, allowing you to continually and successfully address life concerns during and after treatment.

Why does it always feel like my fault? Why can't I let go of the past? What does making a difference even mean when there's so much suffering in the world? These are some of the most difficult questions that plague us; that drive the tightness in our chest, the tension our jaw, the churning in our stomach. However, our minds, bodies, and communities also have incredibly resilient ways of adapting. In therapy, I help clients understand and leverage the ways their minds and bodies react to regain control of their lives.

Over the course of our life, we often need support in overcoming personal and/or professional challenges and addressing the roadblocks that prevent us from being successful and feeling fulfilled. Using a warm, genuine, and empathic approach, I aim to build trusting, collaborative relationships with my clients to help them gain a deeper understanding of themselves, experience emotional relief, and feel empowered to make profound change.
