Therapists in Baltimore, MD

I am a European-American psychotherapist with 20+ years in practice. My goal is to help my clients to find the most effective and rewarding ways to negotiate the "labyrinth of life", for resolution, change and growth. With a rich background in different modalities, I will try to find the right approach to my clients' specific needs.

Welcome! I specialize in working with children, adolescents and young adults coping with anxiety, depression and/or other behavioral difficulties related to life transitions including but not limited to divorce, out of home placement, grief and loss. I work closely with families and focus on the importance of relationships, building self worth and creating/maintaining peace at home. Caregiver involvement is essential in my work with children. I provide parents and/or caregivers with skills to utilize at home as well as provide insight and a better understanding of what your child may be experiencing.

Are you struggling to get back on your feet after a major life setback? Is trauma or abuse from your past affecting your day-to-day life, or do feel like you are coming up against the same obstacles over and over again that are keeping you from living your life fully? Together we can work to help you make meaningful, long-term changes in a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental environment.

Have you been asking yourself “who am I?” or trying to discover where you fit in? Are you noticing opportunities for growth in your life and could use motivation? Have you recently been navigating major life changes, such as a divorce, graduation, changes in relationships, or childbirth? Re-evaluating your self esteem? Having difficulty finding self-care that works for you or keeping it a priority? Are you seeking a space to process your unfiltered thoughts and feelings free from judgment? Perhaps you might be looking to learn how to name some of your complex emotions or how to explain your needs to others.

Welcome! I am a compassionate and spiritual person. I believe the counseling experience should be a place where people can feel safe in a nonjudgmental atmosphere. I have had many years of experience in both clinical and private practice. My greatest joy is helping people improve their lives and increase their happiness and success. I have a client centered approach and offer an unconditional positive relationship with all my clients. I treat women, men and children/teens/young adults using various clinical evidenced based therapies including cognitive behavioral therapy and DBT strategies.

Therapy is an opportunity to explore and challenge yourself to experience your life in a fulfilling way. I will work with you in a collaborative, non-judgmental manner to understand existing beliefs, thoughts and behaviors and then strive to help you reach your goals in terms of changing any of these areas. I respect your personal hopes regarding what you would like therapy to be. I have worked in a variety of settings with adults, children and adolescents who are struggling with relationships, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I focus on providing support in a warm and accepting atmosphere.

I believe that change is quite possible, though often difficult. The good part is that you are taking that first big step by contacting me! I enjoy working with adults and adolescents in individual, couples, and family sessions. With a strong foundation of psychodynamic, client centered/humanistic, and cognitive orientations, I offer an integrative therapeutic approach, depending on the individual needs of each client. My passion is guiding individuals toward insight and the ability to discover their happiest, and most vital, fulfilled, and authentic selves!

In my 25 years as a therapist I've successfully treated clients navigating life's inevitable transitions (graduation, relocation, marriage, divorce, career change, a break-up, major decisions, etc.), as well as those experiencing various forms of anxiety. I have lived experience with blended families and understand the complexities of parenting, partnering, and growing up within that framework. I work first to understand each person's unique set of circumstances, and then to identify strengths on which we can build to help clients lead happier, more joy-filled lives. Life is far too precious and short to lead a "meh" existence.

As a therapist, I am committed in addressing issues interfering with life satisfaction and to help you achieve healthier, more rewarding relationships and greater awareness. I believe you possess what it takes and my aim is to assist you in achieving your goals. I work with children and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, anger, mood disorders, and self-destructive behaviors such as substance abuse and suicidal & non-suicidal self-injury. I also work with couples for premarital, relationship & life transitions issues and divorce counseling.

Choosing a counselor with whom you entrust your story and reaching out to schedule an initial therapy session can be intimidating. My priority is to create a safe, non-judgmental space to hear and understand what's important to you. I provide a creative therapeutic approach to meet individuals' specific goals. I incorporate psychodynamic, attachment, mind-body and trauma-informed techniques with expertise in trauma and play based treatment models. The intention behind my work is to help clients strengthen coping skills, build emotional self-awareness, foster healthy relationships and process the impact of life transitions and trauma

Accepting new clients! If you feel constantly overwhelmed and you struggle to set healthy boundaries, I can help.

Let therapy be your safe place to process your feelings, hopes, fears, and heal from past traumas. Empaths, highly sensitive people, therapists and healers, I am here for you, too. We are often the last to ask for help as we find it easier to help others instead of ourselves. Let's break that cycle!

I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy, with some trauma therapy depending on the client needs. My goal for therapy is to be both an empathetic listener providing the supportive therapy and emotional validation clients all need while also providing necessary diagnosis/treatment planning, psychoeducation and skills building necessary for the client to feel happier and lead a fuller life.
