Therapists in Baltimore, MD

I present myself fully, and professionally in helping willing clients develop the right coping skills to better handle successfully, challenging life, behavioral and mental issues like anger management, anxiety related disorders, trauma related disorders, bipolar related disorders, depression, suicidal thoughts, aging, effective parenting, change of life, grieving, self-esteem, family and couples problems, stress, as well as drug and alcohol use disorders. I provide psychotherapy, assessment, diagnosis, substance abuse treatment, and crisis management.

Through my 15+ years in this work, I feel I am best equipped to support individuals who are struggling with alcohol/substance use or misuse that may be attributed to co-occurring mental health disorders, past trauma, or unknown reasons. I have worked with a variety of patients ranging from those experiencing minor struggles that may be impacting relationships to those hitting 'rock bottom' and lacking hope. If you are interested in changing any aspect of your drinking or substance use behavior, together, we can make that happen.

Finding a place we can trust to tell our stories is essential to finding a path to healing, recovery, and transformation. Therefore, it is essential to find someone that can help you reach your potential to transform your life. We all are born with an innate capacity to develop happy and healthy lives. However, sometimes life experiences such as hurts and traumas can interfere with our development and we may become unhappy or unsatisfied with our lives and adopt self-defeating thinking and behavioral patterns.

Whether it is a codependent relationship, healing from trauma, a major illness, the loss of a loved one or you're not quite sure what "it" is yet, I can support you in gaining a deeper sense of wholeness and well-being. My starting point for all of my work is simple: you matter. Your story matters, your experience matters, your desire to heal, grow, and thrive matters. In all of our lives there are times where we need help making sense of our stories and experiences and I am here to journey with you in that process. I look forward to connecting with you!

Do you feel like your anxiety is running (or ruining) your life? Are you considering therapy but not sure where to start? Are you concerned that you might have an unhealthy relationship with drugs or alcohol? If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, then we might be a good fit for therapy! I primarily work with adults struggling with substance use issues, anxiety, burnout, and general life transitions.

I am an exceptional listener, mentor and guide who works with people dealing with depression, mood disorders, anxiety, and addiction. My practice is patient-centered: I am trained in a number of treatment modalities, but they can only be effective if an honest, trusting relationship is forged between me and my patient. Creating that relationship cannot be one-sided; it must be collaborative. My first order of business when meeting a new client is to begin developing trust on both sides. I ask questions. I listen. I offer honest feedback. I keep my mind and heart open.

I have extensive experience in the treatment of mental health and substance use disorders. I specialize in treating folks with co-occurring challenges, which is the experience of multiple disorders simultaneously. I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, and adults. I rely heavily on motivational interviewing and meet people where they are with unconditional positive regard. My approach is trauma-informed, and my style is to be genuine and transparent, placing a strong emphasis on creative solutions.

What matters most in our relationships to ourselves and others often lies beneath the surface. I am the most interested in considering what is held deeply within the mind, sometimes beyond awareness, maybe vaguely, at its corners, or perhaps in repeating dynamics and patterns. I love being a psychotherapist not because it’s easy, but because it’s a practice that opens my mind and heart and sense of being. I’m a thoughtful, imaginative, creative person who’s interested in the dynamics of our interior lives. People I have had the privilege to come to know intimately help me understand their experience of being human - and my own.

I work from a strengths-based framework utilizing a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to your own assets. My work with adults and teens is trauma-informed and skills-based utilizing EMDR and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I also specialize in substance abuse and know the difficulty that can arise when struggling with a mental health condition.

Life moves fast and requires a lot from you. Society expects you to handle the stress, so you push forward despite the weight. In the silent moments, you deal with the conflict within. I welcome you to sit with me and work it out together. My elder taught me you can either progress fast or deep in your life journey, but not both. My intention is to create a safe space to explore your world while learning and practicing practical solutions along the way. I intend to focus on your strengths and build your confidence. During counseling, our work will be goal-directed, cathartic, and spiritually attuned. I hope to speak with you soon.

My qualifications include a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, and a credential as a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC). I have over 20 years experience working in the substance abuse/addiction and mental health field. My therapeutic approach is integrative and individualized to meet the needs and goals of my clients. I believe that in order to effectively treat a client, you have to use techniques that would be specific and tailored to the individual I am helping. This will help you to successfully manage emotions and circumstances that feel overwhelming.

You struggle with how you see and feel about yourself. You never feel like you are “enough.” You are swimming in self-doubt and all you see are your imperfections. The inner critic that lives in your head is always on overdrive. Sometimes you just wish it would let up for a bit so you could have a moment of peace. It hurts to treat yourself this way, but you don't know another way to be. What would it be like if you weren't constantly berating yourself? In therapy, we will help you look at how you came to see yourself the way you do so you can contend with that voice of self-doubt differently.

Life can often feel overwhelming, and it is especially painful when we feel that we have to find our way alone. In our therapy sessions, though, we’ll find that way together with warmth and enthusiasm. I'm here to offer a supportive space where we can face life's curveballs head-on, working side by side to find your path through the tough times. Our collaboration will be real and human, focused on understanding and overcoming the obstacles that life throws your way.
