Open Relationships Non-Monogamy Therapists in Loyola, Baltimore, MD

Now Offering Board Approved Supervision and EMDR Consulting! 4/14/22-I am at capacity but please email to seek services from other trauma informed providers at our office. I offer evidenced based trauma treatment while also building a safe and nurturing relationship. I am most suited to treat clients with trauma histories that impact current ability to thrive. I seek to empower clients to own their stories of overcoming. I am best matched with clients who are willing and somewhat ready to work on resolving trauma while seeking day to day recovery from process addictions, substance abuse, or disconnection from others.

There can sometimes be subtle or significant difficulty internally and externally navigating wellness. Disruption in peace and wellness can look like disorganization or even excessive organization. Recognizing and coping with stressors can be difficult for some people; some have learned to cope and sometimes forget or outgrow coping skills. My approach to therapy prioritizes the mind, body, and spirit relationship. Therapy with me includes cultural and ethnic history and practices. I prioritize facilitating brave spaces to support individuals in courageous healing.

Imagine relaxing the grip of the painful past and the scary future. Imagine letting go of limiting stories and habits, and learning to welcome experiences and thoughts with curiosity and appreciation, instead of rigidity and dread. Imagine learning to befriend your feelings, investigate your beliefs, recognize your strengths, and move toward your values, building on what already works. Imagine learning these new skills and attitudes with a compassionate, light-hearted therapist.

At Stony Run Psychology & Wellness, we warmly deliver evidence-based treatment to help patients and families live more meaningfully. We utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). In addition, we offer Behavioral Parent Training and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) to help parents of young children cut through the noise of conflicting advice to shape their child's behavior and promote wellness. Because we aim to empower parents, they determine treatment priorities and turn everyday interactions with their child into therapeutic ones.

Feeling like you struggle to be authentic due to various forms of oppression? I want to help each client unconditionally accept themselves with the use of empathy and understanding in the therapy session. I am not the expert on your story, but rather a co-collaborator and support for your healing. If you are looking to unpack historical or racial trauma I am a safe space for that, as I rely heavily on feminist principles and analyzing the ways marginalization may leave us feeling powerless. I am also a queer affirming provider and have worked with numerous trans and non-binary clients.

Therapy provides a wonderful and unique space to learn, grow, and heal. As a therapist, I tailor my practice and treatment approach to each individual client and family, and work to meet my clients where they are. I believe that providing a safe and welcoming space for my clients is essential to the therapeutic process, and promotes emotional growth and change. As a therapist, I value meaningful relationships and work to provide my clients with a client-therapist relationship built off trust and safety. I do not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, national origin, etc.

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.

My goal is to enable you to make meaningful changes in your life that free you from inner conflict. Difficult relationships can seem insurmountable, however, gaining insight into yourself and others can breathe new light into a relationship. I can teach you breathing, mindfulness exercises, meditation and energy psychology to help reduce your anxiety and nurture yourself in times of stress. I use EMDR therapy to alleviate physical and emotional residuals of personal and family trauma. If interested, we can explore how Buddhist concepts dovetail with psychotherapy.

I personally believe therapy is one of the best gifts you can give yourself. The hardest part can be making the first call to get help. It’s time to put YOU first and start living a more mindful and connected life. I am an individual and family therapist who works with children, adolescents, teenagers, and adults.

You're working to break intergenerational patterns, and show up fully as yourself– that is hard work, especially when there’s no pause button on the rest of life. I help millennials and gen x-ers process the impacts of trauma, including dissociation, in order to navigate relationships in the present with more ease. Together we’ll create more space for you to be your authentic self with yourself and others. When you work with me, we’ll talk about systems of power and oppression and how they’re impacting what you’re feeling and experiencing.

Update: As of 12/1/21 Referrals are being taken by my colleagues Grace Brown LMSW and Sky Koch LMSW. Please follow the link to my website for their contact information. I have been practicing in the Baltimore area for more than thirty years and have extensive training and experience providing psychotherapy for children as young as two years of age through adulthood. Additionally, I am a Board Approved Supervisor and offer clinical supervision to other psychotherapists.

I often support children experiencing behavioral concerns, challenges with independent sleep, and anxiety. I find young child treatment is most exciting and productive when parents participate in live coaching and lead child practice between sessions. I also specialize in supporting teens and adults as they manage life’s transtions and develop skills for addressing anxiety-related challenges. My individual therapy patients learn to identify opportunities for change and flexible frameworks to use in a variety of situations. I enjoy working with teen and adult patients who are eager to take what they learn and make it their own.

I treat children, adolescents, and young adults. I understand that while young children (ages 2-7) are often interested in making a change, they are not yet prepared, from a developmental perspective, to navigate therapy and emotional impulses on their own. I am expert in several treaments that support parents in facilitating child practice of skills both live and between sessions. I also enjoy working with older children, adolescents, and young adults facing life transtions or experiencing anxiety. When providing individual therapy, I especially enjoy working with those who are change-oriented and actively engaged in our sessions.
