Divorce Therapists in Baltimore, MD

For over 20 years, I have been working with adolescents, young adults and adults. I specialize in issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, divorce , relationships as well as women's issues related to aging, hormones and self care. Today's world is filled with uncertainty and is impacting people's sense of safety and control.

I have a supportive, non-judgemental and direct approach in counseling and psycho-educating clients.

Finding the right psychotherapist can be challenging. It may be uncomfortable to schedule an initial session without obtaining a sense of what the therapist is like.

I'm formally trained in Individual and Couples Psychotherapy, Psychological and Neuropsychological Assessment, and Behavioral Medicine (Mind-Body). Psychotherapeutic treatment of disorders related to Anxiety (including Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Panic, Phobias) Depression, Trauma, and Substance Abuse. Specific emphasis in couples and issues related to intimacy. Trained in Divorce Mediation.

Are you struggling to get back on your feet after a major life setback? Is trauma or abuse from your past affecting your day-to-day life, or do feel like you are coming up against the same obstacles over and over again that are keeping you from living your life fully? Together we can work to help you make meaningful, long-term changes in a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental environment.

I am a European-American psychotherapist with 20+ years in practice. My goal is to help my clients to find the most effective and rewarding ways to negotiate the "labyrinth of life", for resolution, change and growth. With a rich background in different modalities, I will try to find the right approach to my clients' specific needs.

My ideal client(s) are individuals seeking clinical supervision services for advanced licensure purposes and for organizations in need of a licensed clinician to provide in-house supervision services for state and/or university compliance purposes. I am board approved by the Maryland Board of Social Work Examiners and the Maryland Board of Professional Counselors and Therapists to provide clinical supervision services.

Are you in a relationship but feel alone? Are you having problems with sex or intimacy? I help individuals and couples address relationship conflict and create meaningful and lasting connection. Are you dealing with separation or divorce and looking for help co-parenting? I also specialize in helping couples overcome challenges related to divorce , remarriage, and co-parenting.

Selecting a therapist is an important decision. I believe that creating an environment where the client feels that the therapist has listened, shown empathy, and has genuine concern are some of the core conditions for a therapeutic relationship. Providing a client with helpful feedback in this safe, empathic environment promotes change and growth. A client that I work with may have a variety of concerns including having a relationship issue, going through a separation, having parenting concerns, experiencing depression, anxiety, or problems related to alcohol or drug misuse or abuse.

At some point, everyone has experienced some sort of emotional distress whether it be the illness or death of a loved one, the pain of a divorce , a traumatic experience from childhood, or even the demands of everyday life. If you're thinking you may need some help to get through something new or something from the past, you're probably right. I want to help. I am extremely dedicated to helping my clients heal, improve their lives, and reach their own personal goals.

Your story matters and is uniquely your own. Life is a mystery and a privilege. Sometimes, our lives journey through the difficult terrain of hardship and unspeakable challenge. We suffer injustices and pain. Irreplaceable losses leave us slogging through a swamp of heavy sadness and thick, suffocating grief. During those times, it's easy to forget (or perhaps, no one ever told us) the truth that we absolutely matter and are deserving of acceptance and kindness; that we are worthy of respect and love.

You are here because you are feeling unhappy, angry, worried, anxious, panicked, or full of self-doubt. Or you are a couple in need of direction and guidance to work through conflicts. I have found that fear is often the unrealized dynamic that gets in the way of fulfillment and happiness in many areas of life. Are you experiencing a recent transition, stressor or crisis that has brought about pain or confusion, or maybe you are struggling with a longstanding challenge? Therapy is a means to uncovering existing strengths, and to gaining insights and new skills to help overcome the fears that often accompany these challenges.

Welcome! I specialize in working with children, adolescents and young adults coping with anxiety, depression and/or other behavioral difficulties related to life transitions including but not limited to divorce , out of home placement, grief and loss. I work closely with families and focus on the importance of relationships, building self worth and creating/maintaining peace at home. Caregiver involvement is essential in my work with children. I provide parents and/or caregivers with skills to utilize at home as well as provide insight and a better understanding of what your child may be experiencing.

Just as music, art, food, seasons and politics resonate with people on uniquely personal levels, so too does therapy. As a Humanist, I integrate multiple treatment modalities to address metal health challenges including fear, sadness, anger, frustration, trauma, guilt, shame or feeling "stuck." The core of my practice encourages continuous translation of therapeutic insights into personal growth opportunities. Integrated interventions may be insight-oriented, cognitive-behavioral, mindful and/or supportive to help us understand who you are, where you come from, who you want to be and what gets in the way.

I enjoy assisting individuals and couples through their journey toward personal enlightenment, often within a holistic approach. It is my passion to assist with the emotional growth process that comes with therapy. I am skilled at identifying patterns of dysfunction in behavior and thought, and guiding the cognitive processes to ensure positive outcomes. As a result, my ideal client is ready for change and willing to do the work required to embark upon the path toward healing and growth.

Using a psychodynamic and IFS (Parts Work) approach, I provide therapy for individual adults, couples, and families. Patients learn to recognize patterns in their behaviors that are causing them discomfort. Through the therapeutic approach and the therapeutic relationship, patients begin to make meaning of their internal system thus enabling them to utilize new ways of coping with grief, transitions (newly married, divorce , raising children, new job, relocation), anxiety, and past trauma.
