Therapists in Severna Park, MD

Have you been devastated by miscarriage, stillbirth or the death of a baby? Are you struggling with perinatal or postpartum depression? Are you having a hard time with a subsequent pregnancy after a loss? Have you received a pregnancy diagnosis of a life-threatening illness. I assist parents with difficult decision making and counseling through a difficult journey. With any type of grief there are challenges, different grieving styles, and communication. I am honored to come alongside families at their most difficult times and help them find hope, establish goals, and help advocate for their wants, needs, and wishes.

Add to this the emotional stress of family conflict, divorce, defiant children, an illness or death in the family, and you begin to understand why more and more people are seeking the help of mental health professionals.

Are you intellectually curious about personal growth? Let "change" be an intriguing adventure rather than an anxiety-producing threat. In your life experiences what has and hasn't worked for you? Triggers, symptoms of distress can become new ways of understanding what in your life needs a new focus. Knowing oneself more fully and making conscious choices equals more personal meaning. A great therapy experience involves jointly developing a trustworthy exploration of how feelings, thoughts, behaviors and interactions help or hurt your pursuit of a contented life with less self-doubt, fear of the unknown and personally determined lifelong growth.

My years of experience and training have taught me the importance of good listening. By learning who you are and what you want in your life, I am best able to help you restore or enhance the quality of life you seek. I limit my practice to adults in individual therapy or relationship counseling. While there is no magic in therapy, there is an opportunity to feel better now, avoid future emotional pitfalls and be better able to deal with those that cannot be avoided. As a compassionate and experienced professional, I look forward to assisting you.

While anxiety is a normal reaction to life's stressors, at some point it can lead to depression and helplessness. I work with individuals who experience anxiety, panic disorder and phobias, depression, stress/anger management issues, PTSD, grief, and end of life issues. Grief manifests itself in various ways from sadness to physical illness. I am a warm and compassionate therapist who can assist you through many of life's transitions including the loss of a loved one or depression/anxiety from caring for a loved one with a terminal illness or debilitating disease.

My ideal client is someone who is diagnosed with anxiety disorder. These symptoms develop in childhood and are still present through adulthood if not treated. Individuals need to face their fears with the support of a therapist. By trying to remain calm, without becoming overly anxious or having a panic attack. My goal as a therapist is to help them build their self-confidence so they can control their fears and feel secure. I work with clients to remain calm and practice breathing techniques. I build empathy with my clients by explaining that they are not alone in their struggles.

I’ve always been fascinated by the butterfly effect because I find it relatable to therapy. The theory says small things can lead to large-scale changes in the future state. The concept is imagined with a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a typhoon. In therapy, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and making changes in life can seem daunting. My goal is to provide you with insight and teach you strategies that may have that effect on you. It can be hard to see the change you are making in the moment but when you look back, you realize all of those little things actually made a significant impact; thus the butterfly effect.
