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

Why does it always feel like my fault? Why can't I let go of the past? What does making a difference even mean when there's so much suffering in the world? These are some of the most difficult questions that plague us; that drive the tightness in our chest, the tension our jaw, the churning in our stomach. However, our minds, bodies, and communities also have incredibly resilient ways of adapting. In therapy, I help clients understand and leverage the ways their minds and bodies react to regain control of their lives.

Feeling like your past experiences get in the way of having fulfilling relationships, staying present, or existing free from anxiety or depression can be scary and isolating; especially for those with marginalized identities. As dedicated as you may be to making positive change in your life, sometimes without the right help it can feel like nothing is working or like no improvement is sticking. These points of stuckness often try to drive us further from feeling encouraged or wanting to be vulnerable, but letting someone in who will treat your vulnerabilities with utmost care can be a life changing and growth inducing experience.

I am a therapist with 13 years experience who recently relocated to Maryland. I have specialized my work in the medical setting with those with chronic illnesses and have also cared for many in the LGBTQI+ community. I enjoy providing counseling to pre-teens, teens and young adults. I have had the privilege to witness the most vulnerable moments with my clients and then observe their growth, healing, and evolution. I would be honored to play a role in your journey too. The idea of therapy is challenging for some. I focus on meeting my clients at their comfort level and prioritize their personal goals and needs.

It takes a village. The Womb Room began out of love in 2015, by a Mom looking to provide space to connect and support pregnant and postpartum people through yoga. To be the village.

In these unsettling times, it can be all too easy to revert to the comfort of the familiar. But before you act reflexively, ask yourself whether you can imagine acting reflectively and with intention. Our work together will encourage you to examine your automatic beliefs and default settings and question whether old patterns are serving you well. Experimenting with fresh approaches to challenging situations often leads to surprising new outcomes and allows you to reshape the narrative you carry about yourself, which in turn may shift your relationships with others.

Let me help you tell your story. Nietzsche famously said, "To live is to suffer; to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering." I believe that we spend our lives looking for answers and meaning in life, and my passion is helping others untangle their darkest fears, their deepest worries, and emerge feeling both freer and more in control of their lives. I will walk beside you in the darkness--not leading, but guiding with a gentle hand as you move toward a brighter future.

Whether it is a codependent relationship, healing from trauma, a major illness, the loss of a loved one or you're not quite sure what "it" is yet, I can support you in gaining a deeper sense of wholeness and well-being. My starting point for all of my work is simple: you matter. Your story matters, your experience matters, your desire to heal, grow, and thrive matters. In all of our lives there are times where we need help making sense of our stories and experiences and I am here to journey with you in that process. I look forward to connecting with you!

I believe that therapy is about hope and choices. I know that when a person begins to feel supported and understood, change can happen rapidly. I provide highly individualized treatment that combines the best of evidence-based practices with mindfulness and movement awareness.

Making the choice to see a mental health professional is a wonderful first step. It comes with an acknowledgment that something might be holding you back from living your life fully to feel happier and to achieve your goals. Perhaps you want to see a therapist because you are experiencing anxiety, grief, or relationship issues that prevent you from feeling fulfilled. Maybe you are experiencing a transition in your life that feels stressful. You may want to explore how to make a change in your life. I can help you wherever you are in your journey.

Congratulations on taking the first step in your journey towards healing. Whether you are struggling with issues related to career or school, relationships, family, parenting, anxiety, depression, trauma, and more, I am here to help you navigate the challenges of everyday life.

As a queer and trans identified therapist, I personally understand how painful it can be to go to someone for support and be met with microaggressions, rejection, or outright hostility because of your marginalized identity. Therapy can be a transformative tool of self-discovery and a place to collaboratively develop a roadmap to a life filled with deep meaning and joy. But if your therapist does not understand or accept crucial parts of who you are, it can be deeply damaging and disheartening. If you have had experiences like these, I may be a good fit to provide you with the culturally competent therapy you deserve.

Do you often feel stuck in repetitive thought patterns or behaviors? Are you often anxious, nervous, reactive or frozen/unable to make changes that allow you to be more present to yourself and your life? I offer a safe and nurturing space for those seeking to understand and integrate the symptoms of heightened stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma recovery. I strive to help my clients understand the effects trauma and stress can have on the mind and body. We work together to help you recover from past and present difficult experiences to find more meaning, sense of contentment, and ability to create the life that you are seeking.

Please note I am only seeing clients via telehealth. I have convenient evening hours, available 3pm to 8pm, Monday through Thursday. My ideal client is motivated to change and build a deeper understanding of self. They may be feeling stuck or lost and need an external push. I provide compassion, humor, and insight, and tailored strategies to empower you to finding your way. I have a lot of experience working with college students and post-grads, but love working with teenagers and adults of any age.

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.

My therapeutic style focuses on being trauma informed and using various therapeutic modalities to create a client-centered setting to achieve maximum growth and self-empowerment.

Are you struggling with shaking old habits, to manage strong emotions, to make sense of past experiences, or with relationship conflicts? Do you feel stuck and unsure how to move forward? I will work with you to manage the challenges you are facing so that you can re-focus on what is important to you and the strengths you bring to the world.

I have been in the field of social work since 2007, and my approach focuses on healing obstacles to attaining peace and satisfaction in your life. My style of practice is relational, and my aim is to offer expert support as you navigate challenges at your own pace. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who feel disconnected, specifically those who have experienced trauma and contend with its impact on their sense of wellbeing. I often have success working with people who have had unsatisfying therapy experiences, and my clients include therapists, abuse survivors, teachers, and first responders.
