Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Roland Park-Homewood-Guilford, Baltimore, MD

After working for over 30 years with individuals across all stages of the life span, I have come to believe that we are all wired for health in our relationships with self and others. In keeping with this premise, I employ a collaborative therapeutic style marked by warmth, empathy and respect. My therapeutic approach draws heavily from attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, emotion focused therapy, somatic work and mindfulness . This integration combines current psychological knowledge and techniques with ancient wisdom in order to support clients as they move more fully into health.

Through a collaborative approach, I work with each client to identify strengths and resources. I believe it is also important to increase awareness of unhealthy patterns that may have have lead you to therapy. Building a trusting environment is crucial to the therapeutic process and my goal is to create an atmosphere of understanding, compassion and acceptance. I work with a wide variety of clients on various issues including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, relationship issues, and substance abuse. I strive to help clients increase self-acceptance and cultivate hope that they have the capacity to live healthier lives.

I am currently accepting new clients! I'm a trauma-informed clinician that uses a combination of Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and other modalities.

We'll look at the thoughts and emotions that come up when you're feeling anxious or depressed, and we'll see what drives those emotions, be it past trauma, current worries or something else.

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.

I am a psychologist specializing in CBT for anxiety and depression. CBT is an evidence-based therapy that is proven to help people overcome thinking patterns that cause distress and prevent them from living the life they want. As a scientist-practitioner, I am committed to providing treatment that is proven to work, including CBT, mindfulness , ERP, and PE. However, science can only take us part of the way. Your expertise in your own lived experience is needed to get us to your therapeutic destination. For this reason, I will actively collaborate with you to tailor your therapy experience to your unique challenges, needs, and values.

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.

You are brave, curious and brilliant but feel like you are an imposter and never good enough. You have tried people pleasing and a relentless pursuit of self-improvement strategies but can’t shake off the feeling of not being worthy. You long for true belonging, confidence and to live your most authentic expression by releasing old patterns that no longer serve you. You are not alone. I believe that we all have inherent within us expansive wisdom, and capacity to heal. We can't always access our truest Self because of past trauma, societal pressures and habitual patterns that keep us disengaged from our true nature.
