Therapists in Loyola, Baltimore, MD

Finding the right “fit” in a therapist can be one of the hardest, and most rewarding, steps in our mental health journeys. I love working with clients who take this step seriously. It tells me they value their healing and growth and they understand how important the relationship at the heart of therapy can be. I'm a dad of two kids and a former Division I athlete. I prioritize honesty, connection, authenticity, compassion, humor, and courage in my work. I connect best with clients who: hold similar priorities, want a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships, and want greater connection, liberation, and joy.

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 and parent coaching, etc.

Navigating life’s ups and downs can be as much a challenge as it is a privilege. The support of a caring presence outside your circle of daily influence can help as you move through the tricky spots. I have professional and/or lived experience with anxiety, depression, trauma (PTSD/ CPTSD), toxic relationships, sexual violence/ harassment, discrimination, implicit bias, career transitions & institutional betrayal. My professional journey affords me nuanced understanding of academia/ higher education, law, human relations/ resources, healthcare, work abroad, social justice & the impact of workplace investigations.

How long has it been since you've felt joy? Have you ever felt empty, as though a part of you is missing? Are you often disappointed in your relationships?

You’d love to stop replaying every convo you’ve ever had—preferably before 3 a.m.
You’re a deep thinker, a deep feeler, and alarmingly good at imagining worst-case scenarios in under five seconds. You’re tired of overanalyzing texts, absorbing everyone else’s emotions, and wondering if you’re “too much” for caring so much. Mostly? You’d like to feel a little less consumed by worry, and a lot more at home in your own brain.

Finding the right therapist can be daunting. There are so many profiles to sift through to find one who seems like they will "get it" quickly enough for you to experience some real change and for laying your vulnerabilities bare to be worth it. You want to feel more confident, more in control of your life, and more fulfilled. You're looking for someone you can trust, with the right professional qualifications, but you also need to know that they are a real human being, with whom you will feel seen and heard, not judged.

Therapy is an opportunity for an individual, a couple or a family to learn about themselves in ways that are ultimately strengthening. It can be hard to be hopeful when you are in crisis, feeling helpless, confused, and in pain. I think these periods of struggle can be useful in identifying how you think, behave, and relate to yourself and others in ways that may be ineffectual. While there are mental health situations that require medical intervention, I believe it is also possible through therapy to develop the self-awareness and skills necessary to feel better, and stay well.

Are you wanting to heal from your past but feeling overwhelmed and stuck by anxiety, depression, and shame? You try to change but wonder if you can and if you deserve it. You’re trying to be a better partner, parent, student, or friend, but it feels like you're failing. You feel alone, exhausted, and both desperate and terrified for someone to actually see you. A part of you wants to give up and shut yourself away, but another part keeps going each day. A part of you knows that there is more to life than this and has hope that things can be different, that you can be different.

Life presents us with a full range of experiences - some we enjoy, some that challenge us, and all with potential for learning and growth. Psychotherapy can be a supportive process that helps us make sense of situations we’re in and find a path forward that’s in line with our values.
Through the therapeutic process, we might increase our self-understanding; develop insight into and improve our relationships; expand our capacity to work with emotions; navigate transitions, loss, or grief; develop skills; grow our self-esteem and sense of effectiveness; and deepen our sense of connection to self, others, and the larger world.

We are all born with eyes, but learn how to see. Our self and worldview are shaped and molded by traumatic experiences, intimate relationships, and occurrences in the greater world around us.

Through the process of therapy, I will collaborate with you to uncover your wisest, most authentic Self and harness your strengths ultimately to learn how to navigate life’s ebbs and flows connected to your values, needs, and desires.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
