Culturally Sensitive Therapists in Middletown, MD

I have more than 20 years working in a variety of outpatient and inpatient mental health settings including private practice, psychiatric day programs, nursing home and inpatient hospital. I work with adults with a wide variety of needs ranging from such topics as depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship/family stressors and caregiver challenges. We will work together to develop a treatment plan that suits your needs as I utilize a variety of therapy styles including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic therapies, Culturally Sensitive, Family/Marital, Strength-Based, and Mindfulness-Based.

One of my biggest struggles in life has been finding ways to show up authentically. As a Black, non-binary and queer person, finding spaces that validate core aspects of my identity have been challenging. It’s an honor to hold space for individuals who are struggling to find their voice and place in the world. My goal as a therapist is to provide a safe space where you feel accepted, respected, and understood. I enjoy working with individuals from marginalized and underserved communities (BIPOC, LGBTQ+). My practice is intersectional, collaborative, based in a social justice framework, and sex positive.

I am currently only accepting clients who are interested in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP). If you have been feeling "stuck" for an extended period of time, have tried traditional therapy and not found any progress, or are suffering from a traumatic event(s) that have left you with PTSD, chronic depression and anxiety, you may be a good candidate for KAP. KAP has shown breakthrough results that can help you find the *release* you've been searching for.

Systems of oppression affect all of us. As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe and affirming space to help you learn to navigate these systems. I am a queer person of color and I work with people of all genders and sexualities. The larger systems we interact with impact our daily life and how we relate to others in relationship. If you struggle with the relationships in your life, I am here to help. I provide an affirming space to people from poly, divorced, and blended families. My practice is sex positive. I work with individuals, couples, and families. I am experienced in working with Trans, BIPOC, and Enby identities.

I have a passion for helping others heal naturally with a focus on you as a Whole Person-Mind, Body, Spiritual Holistic approach. I have been in the field for 21 years now working with children, adolescents, adults. I treat those 18 years old over. I am also licensed in the state of MD and can provide telehealth mainly. I am in MD Optum/UHC, CareFirst Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Medicaid insurances. I integrate traditional talk therapy interventions and can use Expressive Arts in sessions. I am also a Certified Facilitator for Dancing Mindfulness, a therapeutic Creative Movement/Meditation practice to assist with somatic awareness.

Searching for a therapist who gets the experiences of transgender, kinky, polyamorous, queer communities? I believe that we heal the world by healing each other and heal each other by healing the world. You can get through this, whatever it may be. You can even grow through it. I can support you in times of crisis, growth, and giving so that you can show up fully for yourself and your relationships. Whether you're struggling or disappointed in your sexual or romantic relationships, you're dealing with trauma, or transition, I'll be on your team. Therapy is a tool you can use to build on the strength and resilience you already have.

Lately the world seems more difficult to navigate than ever before. I find that people are looking for someone to help them make sense of things.

Do you feel sad or have no energy or oomph? Life is too short to surrender to bad relationships, let trauma control us, or be anxious/angry all the time. I want you to be free of emotional pain and find meaning and purpose in family, friendships, spirituality, work, and all other life areas. I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (LCSW-C).

My area of expertise is working with individuals who have experienced trauma and those struggling with anxiety, depression, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and self-esteem issues.

Each and every one of us has learned how to survive in a complex set of circumstances. It is my job to help my clients decide which of those survival skills are still helpful, and which ones served them as a child, and now hurt them in their adult or young adult life. I believe that everyone already has everything within them to heal, and I enjoy challenging clients to see that for themselves. I have years of experience working with adults, children, groups, and families. I specialize in working with complex trauma, childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, PTSD, grief, attachment, anxiety, and depression.

My ideal client is ready to share, learn, and be curious about their wellness journey. They want to share their hopes and fears as a way to clarify what they want to gain from therapy. I have honed my skills of client connection, combined with clinical expertise, to learn & assess the client's current needs.

I support individuals and families on their paths towards greater self-understanding, acceptance and awareness. I emphasize resilience as advocated by schools of positive psychology, mindfulness and a wellness model of therapy. I work closely with clients to identify and unravel the distortions in their perception and communication which interfere with healthy relationships and a healthy sense of self.
