Therapists in Annapolis, MD

My ideal client is anyone who is seeking to make positive changes in their life. I am an active therapist who collaborates with my clients. I believe in research about "what works". I also believe it is my job as a therapist to adapt my approach based on the needs of each client.

I am compassionate, hard working, and determined to help you assess the root causes because I believe a good understanding of the problem leads to a good understanding of the solution!

Life after experiencing trauma can be met with dysregulation and an inability to cope, function, or see a future beyond the traumatic experience. This often can leave one feeling isolated, lost, and misunderstood. I have extensive training in Trauma processing and work with adolescents, adults, and couples to identify skills to cope with and process their traumatic experiences. Whether you have experienced a single traumatic event or trauma throughout your life, we will work together to develop a plan that will relieve your trauma symptoms and provide you with a future that is free from your trauma.

Are you or a loved one burdened by the weight of overwhelming emotions, struggling to find balance in life, or haunted by intrusive thoughts that cloud your days? The journey through reproductive trauma and maternal mental health struggles can be profoundly isolating and emotionally draining. Meanwhile, family trauma can leave lasting scars, impacting your relationships and emotional well-being in ways that feel insurmountable. You don't have to carry these burdens alone. I'm here to extend a compassionate hand, to provide support and understanding, and to help you rediscover the equilibrium, resilience, and hope that you deserve.

Dr. Woomert is a Licensed Psychologist who provides psychological assessment and therapeutic services. Evaluations are designed to bridge the gap between difficulties a young person faces and the services or interventions they need to reach their full potential. Dr. Woomert has extensive experience in collaborative assessment, which emphasizes the importance of your perspective and wisdom when it comes to the difficulties your child or family is experiencing. After an evaluation, families can expect to have a much clearer idea of their child's strengths and weaknesses, as well as how to move forward and improve their lives.

I offer individual, couples counseling, and family psychotherapy for adults over 18 years old. I aim to help clients learn a deeper understanding of their dignity and worth.

I believe that life experiences have helped me to have a deeper understanding of how the human person grows and flourishes and would like to bring that hope into every counseling session.
