Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Roland Park-Homewood-Guilford, Baltimore, MD

I believe that a compassionate and safe therapeutic space should be available and accessible to all parents and parents-to-be. While the family-building journey can be full of joy, it also includes losses big and small. Whether you're navigating pregnancy loss or infertility, healing from a traumatic pregnancy or birth, making sense of perinatal anxiety, experiencing identity changes, or working to be a more present and gentle parent, my goal is to help you follow your intuition to feel confident and connected to yourself and your family.

Please note that I have limited availability for new telehealth clients. My work with individuals addresses emotional regulation, relational difficulties, anxiety management, life transitions, and self-esteem. Additionally, I have received specialized training to work with individuals who are planning a pregnancy , have experienced a miscarriage , are currently pregnant, or are in their postpartum period. My work with parents of young children aims to address stress management, respond to specific behavioral concerns, increase effective communication, and improve the parent-child dynamic.

When meeting new clients, I am excited to hear their stories and join them on their journey. I love to support individuals and families who are growing and changing and adjusting, as this is a significant and intense time. Transition in any form is something that I love to focus on, because with transition, comes growth.

I'm here to walk with you on your journey of discovering the more fulfilled life you desire. I specialize in helping parents who are struggling with life changes, anxiety, depression, and balance of responsibilities. Being a mom, dad, or caregiver comes with unique joys and challenges. Maybe you are worrying excessively about your baby, grappling with expectations of parenthood that differ from your reality, having difficulty bonding with your newborn, feeling frustrated by your kids, grieving your loss of independence, coping with a difficult pregnancy or birth experience, or feeling irritable towards your partner.

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.

We all have challenges; sometimes our attempts to solve them on our own aren’t getting the results we’d hoped for. At times like these, it can seem as if we’ve lost our way, and we feel stuck, stressed and alone. You aren't alone – a supportive counseling relationship is powerful and life-changing when you are heard, understood, and accepted. Coming from a strengths-based, client-centered perspective, I use a variety of techniques including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and coaching. We can work together to discover your strengths, learn new coping skills and find ways to bring meaning and direction to your life.

Brainspotting spots available- Do you feel stuck? Do you suffer from anxiety? Do you have a phobia that you want to move past but don't know how? Do you have writers block or feel that you have lost your sense of creativity? Do you want to try something new and find relief from past traumas or daily life stressors? Brainspotting is an effective modality to work on all of the above and more!

Welcome! I provide a safe and non judgmental environment where teens and adults can process their stories, gain insight and work through past and current challenges. I have over ten years experience providing therapy in a variety of treatment settings to adolescents through adulthood in all different stages of life. I work with clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, marital and/or family conflict, low self esteem, difficulty navigating a current or recent change in life experiences, adjustment to parenthood and/or experiencing increased stress managing day to day life.

**Teletherapy Option Available** The decision to come to therapy typically arises when we reach a point where we say "I can't do this alone." The "this" could be anything; maybe you are experiencing significant stressors at work or in your relationship; perhaps you've had years of trying to manage symptoms of trauma, depression or anxiety alone, and you're tired; it could be that your relationship or family has gone through a major change, and you are struggling to adjust. Whatever the issue is, I am happy that you have acknowledged that support is needed, and in that acknowledgment you are on your way to progress already.

Life throws us many challenges, often when we least expect them, but you don't have to face them alone. If you have been searching for a safe, caring, judgment-free space to acknowledge challenges, build on strengths, and align with your values to improve your mental health, then let's work together to reach your personal goals.

Beneath all of our disappointments, losses, and heartbreaks, we all want to be valued for who we are, accepted for how we feel, and respected for what we think. I will encourage you to cultivate present moment awareness and self-compassion for the painful difficulties, challenging life circumstances, and to the inner narrative that keeps you stuck in habitual patterns of reacting. While fear and doubt may obscure your perspective, we will work together to help you develop strength-based skills and capacities for moving through challenges. I will help you access your inner wisdom for cultivating trust, balance, clarity, & connection.
