Therapists in Severna Park, MD

Welcome! Practicing for over 35 years. Trained at Columbia, Harvard, and University of Michigan. Postdoctoral Training in Psychoanalysis, Sensorimotor PT, IMAGO, PACT, Polyvagal, EFT, Hypnotherapy. Couples Therapy work creates "secure functioning" via IMAGO therapy (conscious dialogue, intentionality, empathy), and PACT ideas (true mutuality, kindness, fairness, sensitivity, shared agreements, leading with repair, learning one's partner's attachment style and what works.) I help individuals using these ideas as well. I treat anxiety, grief, esteem issues, faulty emotional beliefs, and help individuals find lasting love.

Life can be complex and challenging, while often making sense of experiences and searching for answers can be difficult. Finding the right path is not as easy when dealing with complicated situations in life. You’re looking for the right answers, searching to find your way, trying to help someone or feel stuck. You are not alone. Recognizing your strengths through additional support can help you achieve balance and wellness.

I approach therapy with an understanding that life is a challenge for us all. We all share experiences of grief, pain, sadness, anger, and insecurity. My goal as a therapist is to help guide you through these hardships and provide you with compassion, understanding, and solutions so you don’t feel alone. I strive to make therapy a safe and comfortable space for you. I primarily work with patients struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, familial conflict, and self-esteem. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I use an eclectic therapeutic approach so I can best assist clients with their needs.

Congratulations on taking the first step on your journey of making a positive change in your life! Finding the right therapist can be a difficult and stressful process. One of my goals is to make this as smooth of a experience as possible. I firmly believe that anyone can benefit from therapy. I have enjoyed seeing the progress my clients have made in counseling, and have felt honored that they have included me in that journey with them. I try to incorporate a non-judgmental and comfortable environment for clients to be able to express themselves at their own pace.

Accepting new clients! Life often presents us with difficulties, struggles and challenges. Having someone who is willing to listen to you without judging what you are going through can help you with sorting out your problems and difficulties. Telling your story enables you to come to terms with your current experiences. You may be dealing with difficult or stressful life events, feeling sad, anxious or depressed. Therapy can help you to learn coping skills and techniques to solve problems and manage challenges. I encourage you to reach out today to see how I can be of help to you.

You're looking for someone to help you or your loved one through a difficult time...and this is the first step! It is incredibly important to find a therapist that will be a good fit. I can provide a nonjudgmental, caring, and supportive therapeutic environment for you to grow in while we work through the issues that may be causing you, or someone you care about, discomfort or distress.

Making the decision to seek help can be challenging and is a big first step on your journey to wellness. Wellness is not an absence of problems, but it is a process that helps us become more aware and make choices for a healthy and fulfilling life. If you feel overwhelmed and want help developing proper coping skills and self-care, you are not alone. Support is available and change is possible! Although I believe the client is the expert in their life, therapy is a collaborative effort between you and I. Together, we will work on identifying and meeting your wants, needs, and goals.

Making the decision to prioritize yourself is a brave one! Enduring life's stressors is often not an easy task and many people feel they have to navigate this alone. Through my work, I aim to help clients on their path towards awareness, healing, and growth. From managing symptoms, increasing self confidence, navigating a change, learning to prioritize self care, or needing a listening ear, I am here to support you.

It is important for an individual to be free from the fear that does not allow one to reach a place of understanding and self-acceptance. Whether it is struggling with a past trauma, loneliness, anxiety, anger, fear of not being accepted, feelings of being “too much” or “not enough”, I practice from a place of compassion and non-judgement. When a client expresses, they are ready for a change, I will “meet them where they are at” in the therapeutic process. I enjoy working with diverse populations, at any stage in life, including individuals who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I have over 10 years of experience in the field of clinical social work and mental health. My experience in this field taught me that the best way to help a person make positive changes in their life is to provide them with a safe and compassionate space where anything can be discussed, challenges can be addressed, and new strengths discovered. I am also passionate about overall wellness, and believe that nutrition, exercise, and sleep play an important role in mental health. My work with my clients focuses on empathy, education and information, and working together to find the solutions that work for you.

Welcome! Having practiced social work for over twenty years in a medical setting that focused on both mental and physical health, a holistic and positive approach to treatment is essential. I stress the mind and body connection while taking into account community and environmental factors. Loss comes in many forms and affects all a person’s systems.
