Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Baltimore, MD

I am currently accepting new patients. What do you need right now? It can be hard to identify our feelings and to sit with our emotions. It can be challenging to move forward when we feel trapped by our past.

Sex, desires, attraction can sometimes be complicated and confusing. I'm here to help you move to a place of finding those topics exciting, fun, fulfilling! We get so many limiting and restrictive messages about sex and relationships that can cause shame or frustration. Let's unpack some of those messages to learn how you might experience more acceptance and joy in your sexuality and sexual or romantic relationships. Whether you're a single person, couple, or polycule there's so much we can work on together to improve things! You can be yourself and have the relationships and encounters you long for.

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.

I believe we all need connection, kindness, and a non-judgmental space to show up in all our complexity. Many people look to therapy because we want something to be different: our moods, health, relationships with ourselves, others, and/or substances. Perhaps you’re looking to therapy because you need a little extra support in getting by, navigating a change like pregnancy or gender transition, or a loss. I believe change, growth, and fulfillment can happen when we feel seen and affirmed. As a therapist, I am collaborative, curious, thoughtful, eclectic. Above all, I trust you as the best expert in your own life.

I am a licensed clinical professional counselor who has over 15 years of experience working with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, complicated grief, relationship stressors, self-esteem issues, and more. My priority is the therapeutic relationship. I am a compassionate listener and have an easy way of connecting with others. I pull from a variety of modalities, including CBT, DBT, and ACT psychotherapies. I am currently providing in-person and virtual therapy sessions.

Feeling “stuck,” is often the reason for seeking therapy: feeling stuck in relationships or relational patterns, in grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions and more. You may be feeling overwhelmed, misunderstood or unseen. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, compassionate, and affirming space for individuals who are looking to create change or find a sense of peace in their lives.

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.

The decision to begin therapy and the process of finding a therapist can be challenging, but ultimately extremely rewarding. I am an experienced therapist who understands that the most powerful things in life are often the simplest: to listen attentively, whole-heartedly, and with openness and compassion. I am committed to creating a safe, comforting space where you feel free to be yourself.

I believe every woman should have access to quality mental health care, at every stage of her life. I’m honored to walk with my clients on their journey. Through trauma-informed care and a mind-body approach to wellness, I offer a space where my clients can both heal and grow.
