Hebrew Therapists in Baltimore City County, MD

“Therapy is like being presented with two different paths, and choosing the road less taken” We are all products of our personal experiences. This is what makes each of us unique, coming into treatment with our own story. Im interested in hearing your story, helping you discover new ways to navigate your life. Each individual needs a different approach in treatment, and my goal is to individualize the process to help you reach your personal goal. It would be my privilege to work with you so we can together reach emotional wellness.

Feeling your life and relationships are out of control, feeling lost with no direction your destiny so vague feeling it is out of reach Its like being on a bus Do you want to be the driver or the passenger As the passenger you have no control but as the driver you control where the bus is going Being in control you decide your destiny. The ultimate question is who is driving your bus? I have many years as an experienced therapist and have evolved into becoming a certified professional life coach from the accredited Transformational Academy in order to be your guide.

Life can be overwhelming, with many challenges. I believe that knowledge and clarity are the key elements when confronting challenges in life and in relationships. I work with my clients to develop a clear self-awareness about their role in life and how they function in different situations. My objective is to help the clients understand themselves, their actions, and their motivations. Throughout the session, I create a warm and supportive atmosphere that feels safe and secure, allowing the clients to work through their challenges with comfort. I work well with individuals, couples, parenting and singles who are navigating dating.

Wouldn't it be great if your therapist didn't just listen to you, but helped YOU listen to yourself? You know, that Self that gets lost among all your responsibilities and commitments and social media and stress and all the things you tell yourself...all that stuff that makes you feel fragmented and overwhelmed. I excel at helping people discover themselves amidst the noise of life. Understanding yourself is the key to getting "unstuck" and moving towards healing, success, and growth.

As children, we are learning from interactions with our parents who we are and how to fit into the world around us. After we leave home, we become our own parents as we continue to learn about ourselves and how to find our own place in life. And when we have families of our own, we are now parents both for our children and for ourselves, as we continue to understand more about who we are. I provide a warm, empathic and accepting environment where you can explore your current life challenges, as well as address past issues that impact your everyday life.

Not all therapists are able to support you fully when medical or other conditions have caused cognitive decline. This is my specialty. Having worked closely with neurologists, radiologists and many other medical specialties, I can offer you neuropsyc or psych evaluations and brain maps that shed light on problems, and create a treatment plan that really makes a difference. We've helped folks with brain injury or general concerns for cognition, restore memory and attention skills, get to better thinking and reasoning, and enhanced joy in life. I go beyond the limits where others stopped, because rehabilitating brains is my passion.

Ready to make a change in your relationship? Let’s talk. If you’ve had enough of the bickering and the blowups, the fights over things you can’t remember, the lack of communication – it’s time to learn a new way to do this. Look – relationships are hard. They take work. If you’re struggling in your intimate relationship (or family, or social life), there’s nothing wrong with you. It’s normal to struggle. But why keep spinning your wheels? There are people out there who can guide you through the challenges of relationships and build something awesome. I’m one of those people. And I’d love to help you get where you want to go.

Mental health and relationship issues are all too common and we each have our own unique way of experiencing them. Therapy is a place to realign this weight we carry and build a better relationship with our challenges. I provide a space for this exploration, one where you can get personal and vulnerable, laugh and cry, sometimes even curse and yell, and also informational and straight to the point. Together, we would do this by building trust and learning how our body-mind connection impacts our mental health.

We all deserve to feel safe and secure in our daily lives; confident and calm in our social interactions. So many of us suffer from life altering or traumatic events which create barriers from living our full potential.
