Emotionally Focused Therapists in Baltimore, MD
People come to therapy for many reasons: we often think in terms of reducing symptoms, and that can be helpful at times to make sense of what is happening. I also like to look deeper than that, as it sometimes does not serve us well. Deep down, people come to therapy because of deep pain and confusion within their own lives or some harmful way of relating to themselves (and others) that is no longer serving them. I aim to help individuals examine and relate to that inner landscape, have different emotional experiences that foster connection, and help clients build a life worth living.

Many people move through life feeling disconnected from themselves, from others, and from the present moment. My years of clinical experience have shown me how often this disconnection is rooted in emotional weight carried from the past. You might find yourself going through the motions, stuck in patterns formed long ago out of necessity, now keeping you from the connection and emotional depth you long for.

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.

Feeling like you struggle to be authentic due to various forms of oppression? I want to help each client unconditionally accept themselves with the use of empathy and understanding in the therapy session. I am not the expert on your story, but rather a co-collaborator and support for your healing. If you are looking to unpack historical or racial trauma I am a safe space for that, as I rely heavily on feminist principles and analyzing the ways marginalization may leave us feeling powerless. I am also a queer affirming provider and have worked with numerous trans and non-binary clients.

You’re conflicted! The profound weight and pressure to decide to make the right decision is shattering you. Your life, well-being, and sanity remain undetermined while you consider your next move. On the one hand, divorce feels like a defeat, a judgment from others, or humiliation. You think about the effects on your family and consider how it will likely be one of the costliest things that you ever endure. On the other hand though, you feel alone, suffocating, drowning, unable to be yourself in your marriage. It feels like you have given your all. This moment is hard, and you worry that no matter what you choose to do, you’ll lose.
