Therapists in Baltimore, MD

I enjoy working with creatively inspired individuals searching for or growing fulfilling careers or entrepreneurial opportunities which emphasize their unique personalities and natural gifts that allow for an integrated work-life balance. I also enjoy working with parents interested in finding an integrated lifestyle that merges personal, professional, and familial values. I use a family systems lens in individual counseling, where we collaborate on exploring how past and present family systems influence a person’s sense of self. I also work with clients' external systems in family therapy, parent coaching, couples counseling etc.

Being fully seen and fully accepted by one’s life partner is a universal human need, the stuff of spirituality - an experience felt in the soul, not just the mind or the heart. Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) provides a roadmap for how to get there. All of us show up to adult relationships with baggage, echoes of times we felt unsafe in prior relationships. After a decade serving adults individually, I have pivoted to focus on helping couples work through the internal barriers that prevent them from feeling as close to their partners as they deserve to feel. The healing power of secure attachment inspires me; I believe in it.

Are you and/or your child open to the challenging and vulnerable, but beautiful journey that is exploring/bettering overall mental health? If so, you've come to the -not-so- perfect place! I most enjoy working with clients who can appreciate humor and straight-forwardness, as I often approach the therapeutic relationship with authenticity and acceptance as well as the mindset of embracing imperfection. I specialize in individual and family therapy focusing on ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress/trauma for individuals under the age of 30 :)

I believe in your power to transform your life through goal setting and a personal commitment to change. For many people, facing the pain of our childhood and adulthood trauma or experiences is challenging. We often choose to continue avoiding these feelings with hopes they will go away, all in attempt to protect ourselves and to continue pushing through life. In other circumstances, you may have been trying to make a difference, feel like you are not getting anywhere, or do not know where to begin. I’m here to help you navigate through these past and current struggles in a safe, nonjudgmental, and affirming space.

My top three clinical interests include working with individuals practicing consensual non-monogamy and BDSM, creative professionals, and individuals experiencing depression and anxiety, utilizing motivational Interviewing (MI), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). How we think influences the foundations of our behavior. Every person who comes onto my screen or into my office has their freedom, individuality, and autonomy accepted because that is what every person deserves.
