LGBTQ+ Therapists in Baltimore, MD

I’m passionate about supporting LGBTQIA + people who want to improve their lives, work through deeper issues, and live authentically. As a non-binary and queer clinician, I know exactly how essential it is to have a safe, affirming space to do this work. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and collaborative and my clinical specialties include exploration of gender expression, identity, or transition, sexuality, relationships and attachment, and neurodivergent identities. If you are struggling with feelings of shame, anxiety, depression, overwhelm, or experiencing discrimination or oppression - you are absolutely not alone.

I am a psychotherapist with clinical and academic training in social work and women’s and gender studies. My work stems from an anti-racist, anti-oppressive, and critical social work perspective, and centers on collective relationship building. My approach to therapy is relational at its core and recognizes our need for connectivity with other beings, with ourselves, and with our environments. I have a warm and eclectic approach to therapy and use various methods to help support my clients.

Do you want to develop inner peace and healthier relationships, but worry you will never overcome painful feelings from your past? I help people struggling with anxiety, depression, shame/guilt, low self-esteem, and relationship conflicts. We can work together to uncover and heal the roots of challenging thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so you can find joy in a life that you live according to your values.

Supporting the LGBTQ + community is my therapeutic strength and passion and I provide affirming individual and relationship therapy. Authenticity, congruence, and acceptance are foundations in my work and I am here to help you navigate the concerns that are bringing you to therapy with a warm and open style, sprinkled with humor and compassionate challenge. I can assist you in improving your relationship with yourself, partners, and family by gaining insight into interpersonal patterns, anxieties, and/or trauma responses that may be impacting relationships.

I am a clinical social worker who specializes in working with LGBTQ youth, adolescents, adults and families. I have extensive experience in working with individuals who are navigating their sexuality and/or gender identity, as well as providing family therapy to families of LGBTQ members. I also work with families/partners to help them support their loved ones in their transition, adjust to change, and handle any challenges.

I focus on Queer and Trans individuals, those struggling with depression and anxiety, and people who have endured complex trauma. I like to serve clients who do not see themselves represented in the mainstream, who feel like outsiders, who struggle to fit in, and who endure challenges forming and maintaining enduring relationships with friends and intimate partners. I help sensitive individuals who feel deeply the fear and instability of our current climate find dignity and peace through the easing of suffering and the strengthening of relationships.

I am here to create a safe and trusting environment that allows clients to unload their thoughts and emotions. Empowering them in a genuine, straightforward, and relaxed atmosphere to step into the brave space where they are able to find their truth, speak it, and live it. My integrative approach is tailored to each client. During this process the client learns how to accept where they are in this moment. Then identifying and making changes to get to where they want to be. This allows them to free themselves from the persistent negative thoughts and societal pressures holding them back from living the life they have always wanted.
