Family Therapy in Baltimore, MD

As a certified NLP Practitioner and HeartBreath Practitioner in-training, I help parents feel calmer, more confident, and more connected to themselves and their children, using a unique combination of conscious parenting techniques, breathwork, and nervous system regulation work. By uncovering and addressing the emotional patterns that are holding you back, we will rewire your brain around healthier beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors, so you can respond instead of react to your child's challenging behaviors. In a short period of time, I will help you parent from a place of peace, feeling in control of your own emotions.

Are you experiencing stress or anxiety which is keeping you from living the life you want? Is your child experiencing challenges at school that seem to be holding him/her back? Are you finding it difficult to manage unwanted behaviors at home in an effective manner while still maintaining a positive relationship with your child? I offer both psychological/psycho-educational evaluations and psychotherapy for anxiety, OCD and ADHD-related concerns across the lifespan.

Are you having trouble communicating with your spouse, your parents, or your children? Do you want to connect in a meaningful way with your family, friends and, dare I say, yourself? Are you having trouble in school, at work, or just figuring out who you are and where you want to be? I have been involved in the mental health field in various capacities for 20 years helping people organize their lives, find a self identity, and communicate and connect with their spouses and families.

I am trained as a psychoanalyst and practice a relational form of psychodynamic therapy that views the therapeutic relationship as the site of potential transformation. I often have success working with people who have had negative or lackluster experiences in previous therapies and those who are ambivalent about beginning therapy. I specialize in longterm relational work and in working with adult men and athletes.

You made the brave step to search for a therapist! Maybe you are struggling with a relationship with a partner or family member? Maybe you are struggling with your relationship with yourself?

At BMORE Curious Counseling we will work together to take you from "I don't know what to do..." to "I've noticed.... or "I'm realizing...". I will help you move from the back seat to the driver seat of your life. I look forward to working with you!

I am extremely interpersonal in my work and if you'd like more clarity around that - just ask :)

Most people contemplate therapy at a point where life's stressors have become so intense that talking about these things can be very difficult and even embarrassing. However, making a decision to seek therapy is an act that reflects a great deal of humility and self-love. If you or your family have been experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or grief, my practice is well experienced in helping you during this healing process. Additionally, we have worked with families who were experiencing conflict due to separation, divorce, child welfare involvement, exposure to trauma, or just non-compliant/defiant behavior.
