**Teletherapy Option Available** The decision to come to therapy typically arises when we reach a point where we say "I can't do this alone." The "this" could be anything; maybe you are experiencing significant stressors at work or in your relationship; perhaps you've had years of trying to manage symptoms of trauma, depression or anxiety alone, and you're tired; it could be that your relationship or family has gone through a major change, and you are struggling to adjust. Whatever the issue is, I am happy that you have acknowledged that support is needed, and in that acknowledgment you are on your way to progress already.

I believe that psychotherapy is most effective when it is strengths-based: identifying and nourishing each individual's inner strengths in order to help them heal and develop new capacities for growth. Using mindfulness and body-aware techniques, as well as gentle mental exploration and traditional psychotherapy, I see my work as guiding individuals to unlock their own innate capacity to heal.

Psychotherapy is a space to bring all the facets of your being for nonjudgmental exploration and compassionate inquiry. In therapy we collaborate to create a safe environment for your self-driven healing and change, and bring attention to your strengths, wounds, protective mechanisms, resources, and creativity. Engaging in the work of building insight into and tolerance for emotional and embodied experiences can lead to positive change in our lives and closer relationships with ourselves and others. In these ways therapy is a rewarding investment.

Why do most people come to a therapist in the first place? Because they want a better life. It's a brave thing to do- to realize that you want more for yourself and to take the step to begin making that wish a reality. Sometimes people come to me with a specific problem, and sometimes just because they're tired of feeling disappointed with life. Whatever the reason, we begin the process by sitting down together and looking at what is bothering you.

Sometimes we get so busy with the stress and fast-paced movement of daily life that when we finally come up for air, we realize we're living a life in accordance to others' wants and needs. We may have normalized parts of our lives we dislike, and now feel unsure or unworthy of who we are or what we want. Therapy is a process in which we work together to create space for you to slow down and unpack all of the beliefs, burdens, expectations, identities, fears, and hopes you hold; to assess what works and let go of what no longer serves you, to review who you've been and cultivate the person you want to be.

Your anxiety and stress may show up in different ways: panic attacks, "derealization," obsessive thoughts, relationship issues, or even with chronic IBS/abdominal pain. A cycle is born when these symptoms trigger more anxiety/fear. It can be exhausting to focus on, and these problems can really affect your everyday life and choices. Trying to get rid of, avoid, or change the anxiety with breathing exercises, journaling, or other techniques can paradoxically make it all worse and perpetuate or exacerbate your suffering.

Throughout our lives, we often need support in overcoming personal and/or environmental challenges and addressing issues that prevent us from being successful, feeling fulfilled, and living healthy lives. Using a warm, genuine, and empathic approach, I work with clients to build trusting and collaborative relationships that help them gain a deeper understanding of themselves, experience emotional relief, and feel empowered to make profound change. By creating a safe and accepting environment, we will explore difficult or confusing experiences together with the goal of making sense of difficulties and where they may have originated.

We will take care of you, meet your problems head-on with curiosity and strength, and create positive changes that fit you. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental, safe place for us to collaboratively work towards you being the healthiest, happiest version of yourself. Together, we can improve your quality of life, resilience, and sense of empowerment.

EmPower Yoga Therapy

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS. Healing is a process. Whether the injury be physical or emotional and mental body sourced, healing takes time, patience, commitment, and deep, full breaths. We will co-create the space by which healing can be safely and effectively undertaken. The physical practice is only a fraction of the tools yoga therapy offers. From healing conversation, to meditation, to mantra, to visualization and affirmation, yoga is powerful therapy for the mind. Contemporary research finds yoga and its many tools highly effective in mitigating mental health issues from negative self talk, to depression and anxiety, to trauma.

As a sex therapist, I specialize in treating all sexual issues. These often include relationship challenges and sexual problems such as lack of desire/low libido, difficulty with arousal, erections, premature ejaculation and trouble reaching orgasm. Anxiety about sexual performance, lost intimacy, sexual abuse, infidelity, menopause, illness and aging can also interfere with sexual satisfaction. Sex therapy may address problematic or illegal sexual behaviors, sexual compulsivity, paraphilias and fetishes. Clients can benefit from exploring issues surrounding sexual orientation, gender identity, asexuality, polyamory and kink.

Beneath all of our disappointments, losses, and heartbreaks, we all want to be valued for who we are, accepted for how we feel, and respected for what we think. I will encourage you to cultivate present moment awareness and self-compassion for the painful difficulties, challenging life circumstances, and to the inner narrative that keeps you stuck in habitual patterns of reacting. While fear and doubt may obscure your perspective, we will work together to help you develop strength-based skills and capacities for moving through challenges. I will help you access your inner wisdom for cultivating trust, balance, clarity, & connection.

The hurts of the past are making it harder and harder to function let alone find happiness. The present has lost meaning and things you used to love no longer satisfy. You fear your best days are behind you. You long for something else, something more but don't know what it is or how to get there. You feel you will never measure up. You fear you will never be enough.

As my practice’s name implies, we can all feel broken at times. And to compound matters, we might face discrimination through no fault of our own—on the basis of race, sexual orientation, gender, finances, age, health or ability status, or neurocognitive differences. In my years of practice with the chronically ill and under-housed, I’ve seen and addressed the fallout from stigma and institutional barriers all day every day. So that’s the bad news, which you probably already know.

NOT accepting NEW couples until mid January 2023...Therapy, we all have been given different messages (good & bad) about what it “means” to utilize it. In case no one has told you lately, seeking therapy does not mean something is wrong with you. Rather you are new to therapy and wondering what to discuss in session or have intermittently done therapy, I work to ensure my clients therapeutic journey is catered to meet their wants and needs.

Life throws us so many curveballs. Whether a child or adult, I can support you in dealing with the latest. It might seem like there's no way to feel better or there's no good option for your situation. You might be feeling confused about the best path or just know that you need support in doing hard things. Maybe there's a change you know you need to make and it's a little bit scary. We all need help at different points in our lives. Whether you're thinking about identity related matters, struggling to accept yourself as you are, trying to cope with the effects of oppression, or something else, we can work on it together.

What type of Baltimore mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
If you are unsure about choosing the right therapist or psychologist, it might be useful to first learn more about therapy types and modalities.
