Therapists in Baltimore, MD

Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) who uses a client-centered approach when providing counseling services to adults of all backgrounds. I start working with clients where they are in their lives and use a strength-based approach to help clients explore their issues and offer them appropriate strategies and advice targeted to improve these areas of concern. I guide and support clients in implementing the necessary changes to improve peer and family relationships, emotional health, and overall quality of life at home, work, or at school.

Trauma can take on many different forms. you are and to help you move forward to live your happiest, healthiest life. Whether you have never been to therapy before or are continuing your healing journey, I would be honored to be a part of it.

I believe that the power of therapy comes through the understanding of how self defeating patterns of behavior interfere with our ability to have a happy and productive life. I believe that focusing and building on our strengths will enhance our functioning. Examining our behavior is critical to developing healthy options for ourselves and in our relationships. Through an open and respectful process we will examine the areas in your life that have interfered with your ability to make positive, forward thinking choices. As you develop different coping strategies the hope of change will support healing and growth.

In 1987, I started the Life Mastery Center to help people in their journey to find happiness and fulfillment in life. Life is undoubtedly stressful and can bring about feelings of depression and anxiety. These feelings can affect relationships at home, at work, at school. I believe that through the positive therapeutic process, one can get unstuck from negative habits, negative barriers, negative mindsets. The positive therapeutic process helps to identify the problems and build positive life skills that will lead to a happier, healthier, fulfilling life.

My orientation is focused, practical and brief or strategic intervention. When indicated, treatment can be longer-term. Treatment varies from conventional "talking" or cognitive/behavioral therapy to the use of experiential, Gestalt, hypnotic/imagery strategies. Respecting clinical and professional parameters, I use techniques that are flexible, creative, and constructed to match the client, her/his "world" and to meet treatment objectives. At times, I will offer treatment as an adjunct to one's primary therapy in order to expedite progress.
