Family Therapy in Reservoir Hill-Bolton Hill Area, Baltimore, MD

My main areas of focus are marital difficulties, emotional dysregulation, parenting, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and social relationship difficulties.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and unable to balance your work, personal and family life? Are you concerned that your relationship with your spouse/partner is stagnant or full of conflict? Are trust and communication issues ruining your relationship? Do you feel unmotivated or sad all the time? Do you find yourself wanting to be happy, but unable to find the key to happiness? As an individual, couples and family therapist, I work with clients through different stages of their lives to help them find the right balance to happiness and success.

Most people contemplate therapy at a point where life's stressors have become so intense that talking about these things can be very difficult and even embarrassing. However, making a decision to seek therapy is an act that reflects a great deal of humility and self-love. If you or your family have been experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or grief, my practice is well experienced in helping you during this healing process. Additionally, we have worked with families who were experiencing conflict due to separation, divorce, child welfare involvement, exposure to trauma, or just non-compliant/defiant behavior.

Thank you for choosing to begin your wellness journey with Birthstone. Here, therapy is an inviting place where every single part of you is welcome, most importantly, the parts that are uncomfortable to share. As a therapist, I am honored that you chose this process as your path to healing!

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.

Hey there! I feel so fortunate to have a specialty working with diverse sexualities, gender identities, and relationship structures over the past 18 years. Whether I am supporting individuals and their families with the coming-out process, assisting clients with social and/or medical transition, helping folx design relationships that actually work or creating a space where you can simply fall apart.. my hope for all of my clients is to learn how to love themselves and each other better and resolve differences more directly and fairly. I am extremely interpersonal in my work and if you'd like more clarity around that - just ask :)

Are you feeling stuck? Maybe it's due to anxiety, a change in life circumstances, or relationship issues. Or maybe you've reached the limits of what you can figure out on your own. If you’re willing to show up, I’m here to help.

Congratulations on taking the first step to becoming the best version of yourself, happy, healed and whole! Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, distracted, off balance? Are you struggling with balance? Do you feel like you are losing control, or simply just need someone to talk to? I know exactly what your feeling. These emotions and feelings can be scary and challenging to manage. You don't have to suffer anymore. Talk therapy, meditation and mindfulness can reduce these feelings tremendously. I provide a safe and comfortable space for you to share. I look forward to teaching you tools to take your life back!

As a licensed clinical mental health therapist authorized to practice in both the District of Columbia and Maryland, I employ a diverse range of interventions aimed at assisting clients in redefining their problem-solving strategies, recognizing and managing their emotions, and acquiring tangible skills for mitigating stress and navigating conflicts. My professional journey spans multiple disciplines, enabling me to offer my services to individuals in private practice, outpatient mental health facilities, and correctional institutions.

I feel honored to work with people navigating challenging life transitions, working through trauma, and coping with depression and anxiety.

It is my personal belief that everyone deserves a safe, non-judgmental space to unravel their thoughts and be present in the moment. With all of the aspects of day-to-day life that keep us occupied, I hope that I can help you take a moment (or several moments) for yourself that you very much deserve. My goal is to listen to my client's personal experiences and use that to shape the person you want to be- or the person you already are, just the most authentic version of yourself. Everyone's experience that brings a client to therapy is unique and our goals together will always be unique to your growth.

As you encounter life and its many hurdles, you can be presented with challenging situations, transitions in life, and unforeseen circumstances. If you are struggling with the weight of anxiety, depression, burnout, or traumatic memories, it can be helpful to have the space and a person at your side to walk with you in navigating these challenges. Some of my specific clinical interests include processing and healing from religious-based trauma and coming out as LGBTQIA. I am licensed in both Maryland and the District of Columbia.

I work from a strengths-based framework utilizing a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to your own assets. My work with adults and teens is trauma-informed and skills-based utilizing EMDR and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I also specialize in substance abuse and know the difficulty that can arise when struggling with a mental health condition.
