Therapists in Roland Park-Homewood-Guilford, Baltimore, MD

You've been feeling constantly on edge. You’re not even sure what life would be like without anxiety. Perhaps you can’t stop thinking about a life-threatening event you experienced; perhaps you can’t shake the nagging doubt that everyone is about to discover that you have no idea what you’re doing; perhaps you’re a therapist or other helping professional who cannot seem to prioritize self-care; or perhaps, though others tell you that you seem like you have it all together, you can't seem to live up to your own high standards. You have somehow lost touch with the things that bring you meaning and purpose.

Accepting new clients. Welcome! Congratulations on taking the courageous first step of seeking out a therapist. It is an act of bravery and courage to explore what is impacting you or your child. A main focus of my approach is to create a safe and welcoming environment where each individual feels comfortable being themselves as we maneuver the therapeutic process together. Contacting a therapist can feel intimidating and overwhelming, but I hope you will take a minute (and maybe a few deep breaths) to email or call and see how I can help.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy has the capacity to change us deeply. But it can also be subtle: allowing for a sense of "staying the same while changing," as we hold onto the parts of ourselves we value, while better understanding those parts that may be getting in the way. I work from the belief that meaningful and lasting change occurs in the context of relationships - including the relationship between therapist and patient. People come to me with painful relationships, difficult family dynamics, uncomfortable mood or anxiety symptoms, a general feeling that something isn't right, or the desire to simply know themselves better.

I have a collaborative and integrative approach to therapy that builds on each individual's inherent strengths, respecting self-determination, and being mindful of the impact of intersectional identities on mental health. I work to provide affirming and generative care with warmth and humor.

I believe that therapy is an opportunity for deep and lasting transformation. I work with clients to build insight and skills that allow for fulfilling relationships, satisfying work, and deep joy in all aspects of life. I provide psychotherapy for adults experiencing depression, anxiety, family and relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, and life transitions. I have a particular interest in working with folks who identify as neurodivergent, and frequently work with partners of neurodivergent folks who identify as neurotypical.

Is your child currently struggling socially, emotionally, or behaviorally, and you, the parent, are feeling stuck with what to do? It can be difficult to feel vulnerable to take the first step in seeking help, but you're in the right place! By using a child-centered approach and creating a compassionate, warm, and non-judgmental environment, I hope to build a strong, trusting relationship with you and your child, where we can explore the current and/or past issues you're facing. My primary focus is working with children, adolescents, & parents, incorporating child-center play therapy, parent-child play therapy, & attachment theory.

Choosing to engage in therapy is a courageous choice (even when it doesn’t feel that way). In working with children, teens, and adults, I have appreciated and valued the concept of healing the whole person on all levels - body, mind, and spirit. I feel it also important to acknowledge systems that have impacted your life, am socially conscious in my work with clients— all identities, cultures, and types of relationships are welcome.

I use mindfulness based therapy to help women & couples learn how to ease stress and anxiety, all while strengthening self trust and confidence. Your tendency towards sensitivity and empathy is wonderful, but sometimes those qualities can lead to anxiety and self doubt.

As a queer, Latinx cisgender man, it is my passion to support my LGBTQIA+ and POC community in our own collective liberation. Too often counseling can feel like a non-inclusive space, and my work has focused on providing a healing space where clients feel comfortable being their genuine selves, free from judgment and guilt. Sometimes it feels like many of us move through our day wearing a mask to “fit in,” which is a heavy burden to bear. Together we can work towards removing this mask by helping you tap into what already lies within you - a bit of authenticity, a splash of self-compassion, and a healthy dose of empowerment.

I am a licensed psychologist with years of experience working with men and women of all ages: adolescents, adults, and seniors. I work with people struggling with major life challenges, such as substance abuse, trauma, behavior problems, and personal crises. I also work with people who need some help getting through a difficult time, or who are interested in better understanding themselves, and improving the quality of their lives and relationships. My approach is supportive and insight-oriented, while keeping a focus on the choices that you are making that may impact your situation.

I am a pre-licensed psychology associate specializing in psychological assessment. It is my belief that psychological assessment is a powerful tool that can be used to pinpoint specific areas of strength, as well as challenges. Psychological assessment provides data that can allow us to better understand ourselves, how we operate in the world, and what barriers we may have in maximizing our potential. However, assessment can only go so far without the active involvement of the individual being assessed, as your expertise on your lived experience is crucial to ensuring that the assessment process targets your specific questions.

People reach out to therapists for many reasons – to help them recover from pain and loss, to decrease emotional distress, to gain insight about thoughts and feelings, to enhance skills needed to improve relationships, and to navigate challenges. Therapy provides a collaborative space for healing and positive change.

With extensive knowledge and experience working with neurodiverse couples, I offer relationship coaching for the unique issues that arise for couples in which one or both partners have Asperger's or autism. Coaching can be done individually, with a couple, or in groups.

Are you tired of repeating the same old patterns and feel ready to heal the wounds beneath them? Reach out to me. I specialize in early trauma and recovery from IPV, anxiety disorders, and adult ADHD using IFS (internal family systems), mindfulness, and EF skills training. I do NOT specialize in depression, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, or addictions, BUT other clinicians do. If any of those issues are part of your experience, include them in your search to find a better match.

We're here to help you build a life that is true to you. We want you to feel supported and seen for who you are. We want you to be challenged. We aim to provide the right conditions for growth.
