When you enter your motherhood experience there are often feelings of uncertainty, guilt, frustration, confusion, anxiety, and sadness. The rollercoaster of emotions is common, but does not have to be your "forever" as a parent. Many of the moms I meet with are searching for a place where they can feel validated, but also want actionable steps they can use to improve their thinking patterns (negative self talk, self doubt, inner critic, intrusive thoughts), and their also manage their feelings about becoming a mom. You deserve to feel better and feel confident as a mom!

Holistic counseling focuses on the whole person and seeks to help the individual grow emotionally, physically, and spiritually. This approach allows for a variety of counseling strategies to help facilitate that growth and contribute to the overall well-being of the individual. Life is a journey - and the choices made along the way greatly affect the outcomes of the challenges facing one on that journey.

My ideal client would be someone either navigating life stressors, anxiety, or depression. My client is someone hoping to reconnect with their strengths as well as create a better balance in their life. My client could potentially be experiencing trauma or issues with attachment concerns and relationships. My client expresses their goals of needing to manage emotions better, find balance within their routine, and build more confidence, which is helpful for communication of desires/ interests. The client wants to accomplish these goals for the first time or as a result of transition/trauma.

Mental health is not just addressing illnesses such as anxiety and depression, but an arena for promoting our resiliency in managing stress, and pursuing relationships, career goals, and our overall life satisfaction. I believe that through psychotherapy we can heal old wounds, learn to maximize our abilities, and accept and cope with our limitations in order to minimize their interference in our pursuit of our life's goals. We are complex emotional systems of inherited predispositions and vulnerabilities, as well as a multitude of learned psychological attitudes and beliefs. Ultimately, each of us uses these tools to cope with life's demands and stresses.

My ideal client is a client that has prioritized others and has not focused on themselves. Their goal in therapy is to learn more about themselves, prioritize their needs, and discover new ways of living. They need to develop coping skills to manage areas they cannot control and confidence to manage and change the areas they can.

I know how challenging life can be, especially during transition or stress. Going to college, starting a new career, dealing with family and/or relationship changes, and experiencing an illness can all cause anxiety and mood changes. These times can be even more difficult if you already struggle with a lack of confidence and low self-esteem and don't have the tools to manage your stress and anxiety. Finding mental health treatment is no easy task. It can be frustrating to navigate insurance and find the right provider. But don't worry; I'm here to help!

Life can be stressful, down right overwhelming at times. “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.”-Helen Keller. During these times when things become too difficult to manage on our own, counseling can help with learning healthier ways to cope, expressing deep emotions in a safe environment, working on goals, and reaching your potential. My years of experience related to the field have focused on assisting clients with work-life balance, sense of purpose, breaking through fears, reducing anxiety, and improving self-esteem.

Carroll Creative Therapy is a psychotherapy practice serving clients of all ages, and provides evidence-based play therapy for children. For older children and teens, we combine strategies and wisdom from play therapy along with traditional talk therapy, often using age-appropriate tools like the creative arts, video games, and social media. Our work with adults tends to look more like traditional talk therapy, but incorporates many of these same elements through conversation. We are also proud to support gender-diverse and LGBTQ+ clients of all ages, and have a deep knowledge of the community.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe that self-care is crucial to a person's overall wellbeing. I have spent years working with children, adults, and families who need support in achieving their mental health goals so they can live the life they want. I work with people with a variety of needs but as a former special education social worker, I have a special interest in working with parents of children with disabilities or complex medical needs. Additionally, I enjoy working with those who are neurodivergent.

My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that who you are makes sense. Even when your emotions, behaviors, or relationships are extremely different than what you want them to be. I believe that our feelings carry wisdom, our behaviors serve a function, and our current situation becomes clear in the context of our whole story. With this stance of curiosity and acceptance, I can help you understand the parts of your life that are causing distress and move toward the life you want to be living. I am an ideal fit for clients who want to make a change in their behavior while understanding the way those behaviors have functioned.

LGBTQ+ Ally. Locally owned, private practice, Main St. Reisterstown. Go with me here, imagine you see a dog that keeps trying to climb trees and bury nuts. It would seem really odd, right. What if I told you that dog was raised by squirrels? Now it all makes sense! You make sense too. We are the products of our childhoods, the families that raise us, the friends we fought with and the larger society around us. You might still be "burying nuts" in your life, but if you are ready to grow and move beyond these old coping mechanisms, therapy is the place to do it. So who am I you might ask? Would I really "get" you and your back story?
