I use a variety of techniques to match the needs of each client throughout each session. I primarily use DBT, ACT, and IFS therapeutic modalities. These techniques emphasize mindfulness, personal strengths, resilience, and choice. Additionally, I use compassion and explore my clients’ values to gently challenge them to find more effective ways of getting their needs met. At times I use improv, humor, and a conversational and dynamic therapeutic style to create a judgment-free, supportive, and safe environment; disarming the self-critic; and allowing my clients to express themselves freely.

I thrive when working with clients who are open to the idea of healing from their trauma. They don't need to be ready to do all the work just yet, but rather be willing to engage in the therapeutic journey, recognizing the importance of addressing past wounds to foster personal growth, and be ready to give therapy a chance. Clients receptivity to self-discovery and a collaborative approach allows us to navigate the complexities of their history together. This client values the opportunity to build a supportive and empowering therapeutic relationship, enabling us to cultivate a foundation for lasting change.

Your anxiety just won’t go away! Every day you’re plagued with incessant what-ifs and worries about what others think. The constant striving for perfection is exhausting, as is that judgmental voice in your head that keeps telling you what you did wrong or how you’re not enough. You can’t remember the last time you had a full night’s sleep. You have tried everything, and nothing has helped. Your brain just won’t stop, and if someone tells you to “relax” one more time, you’ll lose it.

Hi there, I'm Laurie! Do you wish providers would look at you through a whole person lens instead of discussing health and mental health separately? Do you want a provider for your child who is playful and skilled at engaging children? Are you an adult who likes a more personal, connected approach to therapy? Do you have a teen who has had difficulty connecting to other providers? Well look no further! I enjoy using storytelling, videos, and conversation to help clients of all ages improve self-esteem, self-worth and gain a better understanding of sense of self.

You put on a smile. On the outside you appear happy, successful, and are living a good life. But on the inside you're hurting. You may find yourself struggling with perfectionism, overthinking or a critical inner voice. Depression strikes at times and you don't know why. You are tired of living this way and are ready to make changes in order to enjoy your life. It's time to put down the mask and take some time for self discovery and learn to live your best life.

I am an experienced Maryland licensed therapist. I have many years working with adults in various stages of life. The people I have helped were living with severe trauma, grief, addiction, divorce, career indecisions, relationship, life adjustment, body image and family problems. When left unresolved, these issues can lead to depression, anxiety, panic and generalized sadness or uneasiness. However, there is help. You don't need to live in that uncomfortable and painful state.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, or ADHD that affects your ability to function in your relationships, your work, and all the things you need to do to get through the daily grind? Do you feel exhausted and overwhelmed, wondering if there's even a light at the end of the tunnel? Do you ever wonder if life really can get better? Many people are struggling with anxiety and depression. Others are trying to overcome childhood abuse and trauma, and still others are trying to overcome the shame and frustration of constantly struggling with accomplishing their day-to-day tasks. I believe that there is hope for a better life.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists

How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.

What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?

The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.

Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?

Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.

How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?

A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
