Therapists in Baltimore, MD

I’m passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ people who want to improve their lives, work through deeper issues, and live authentically. As a non-binary and queer clinician, I know exactly how essential it is to have a safe, affirming space to do this work. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and collaborative and my clinical specialties include exploration of gender expression, identity, or transition, sexuality, relationships and attachment, and neurodivergent identities. If you are struggling with feelings of shame, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, or experiencing discrimination or oppression - you are absolutely not alone.

We often do not prioritize giving ourselves the time and space to explore what is going on within us and untangle our emotions. In a fast-paced world, it is important that we create the time to do so and reflect on what parts of the self we're neglecting that need compassionate care. My goal is to create that safe space while helping you tend to your heart, mind, and body on your journey towards healing. I aim to help clients find and build on their inner strengths, while learning to manage intense emotions, grow self-esteem and stronger boundaries, heal wounds, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Maybe you're struggling with anxieties, feeling particularly low lately, or you're just feeling "off" and can't quite put it into words. I want to support you in getting back to yourself and living more aligned with your purpose and passions. I enjoy finding the additions to your daily routine that will reduce stress and help you cope with the ups and downs that life throws at us. In the therapy space, I strive to create an environment in which you can feel free to be your authentic self. I know that reaching out for support can be daunting, so I aim to build a therapeutic relationship that feels warm and compassionate.

We all could use some help at different points in our lives. It can be hard to hold all of the various feelings and navigate a wide range of difficulties in life. There are many similar themes that people struggle with and yet every person is unique with individual experiences along the way. Psychic pain, while difficult, can also be what causes someone to reach out for help. That help often turns out to be the beginning of learning about how to understand and manage that specific pain and issues in oneself. You can call for a free consult with more specifics pertaining to your particular circumstances.

CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS -Butterfly Me...Butterfly You: Soaring through struggle- We are all impacted by life experiences and could use the support from an impartial and nonjudgmental person to process with and talk to. Counseling assists with healing and overcoming obstacles, dealing with daily challenges, learning about our imperfect selves and finding healthy coping mechanisms. *Due to COVID-19, at this time I am only offering telehealth sessions*

There is no doubt that these are stressful times. You may have been struggling with anxiety or depression for a while or may find that this is a new experience brought on by recent events. Perhaps you find yourself staring off into space, losing time, or you feel disconnected from everyone including yourself. You wonder if you're going crazy. When you try to talk with friends or family about what you are going through it doesn't help because they don’t get it or they are struggling too. Whatever the problem is, it is interfering with your life, your relationships, and your feelings about yourself and you are ready to get some help.
