Therapists in Baltimore, MD

If you're wrestling with painful relationships, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, anger, addiction, or a difficult life transition, I'll ensure that you feel safe, understood, and supported. If your teen or child is acting out, not making friends, or doing poorly in school, I can help. If you want to solve a problem, experience less stress or worry, or live with greater meaning and satisfaction, your email or call to me now will start you on that path. I have years of experience with adults, teens, and children. Together, we'll ease you toward feeling balance, peace, and connected with yourself, your loved ones, and the world.

The journey to be your best self is too important to take alone. So it would be my pleasure to help guide you to a better, clearer tomorrow – mentally, physically, and emotionally. My approach as a psychotherapist is one of understanding where you are now, and then working together to reach the place you desire to be. We’ve all walked a unique life path and had different experiences that shaped us, so my approach is not cookie-cutter at all. I believe in hope, inspiration, and the power of the individual. We are stronger than we realize, but the key to mental clarity and emotional well-being sometimes remains elusive.

Everyone experiences loneliness, frustration, anger and discouragement at times - these are normal human emotions. However, when you feel these negative emotions more than occasionally you can spiral downward and your life can feel like it’s “out of control”. You may have been able to work through difficult situations in the past but, everyone needs help at some point. You are already taking the first step by considering therapy which takes some courage in itself. Arranging a free, confidential phone call to discuss your issue is the next step.

I am comfortable working with serious persistent mental health issues, harmful family dynamics, personality disorders, and addiction problems. I also have a straightforward, lifestyle-based approach to issues like mood swings, anxiety, and insomnia.

I bring a knowledge of family systems thinking to consultations to broaden your understanding of the challenges experienced in your social, emotional, and physical functioning, as they are opportunities to evolve and increase our Best Self. One aspect of my role is to challenge automatic thinking and perceptions to promote better thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making by developing: a broader way of thinking about and solving relationship problems, ways of managing Self in anxious situations, principles that can guide you in your actions.

My goal is to help patients learn to be responders and to be in charge of themselves. Throughout treatment, a functional medicine approach is employed. Care collaboration is valued. Patients with cognitive, emotional, and behavioral challenges benefit from a variety of cognitive behavioral, neurobehavioral, and psychophysiological modalities. Patients with such conditions as emotional and physical trauma, chronic pain, addictions, brain injuries and disorders (autism, Asperger's, ADD/ADHD, motor and balance challenges, for example), sleep disorders, anxiety, and depression are treated. Individuals with neurological, autoimmune, metabolic, endocrinological, and other complex medical conditions find that the treatment modalities promote healing.

Ideal clients have tried other treatments and the issue persists. My/our clients may come with anxiety, PTSD, trauma, weight, smoking, sleeping, pain, restless leg and other severe or chronic issues. I have worked with veteran issues, ms, lupus, damaged spine, fibromyalgia, fears, sleep/insomnia, medical compliance, motivation. I have multiple certifications, research and science background and apply the latest methods that produce lasting results

Are you having a difficult time handling the struggles in your life? Could you use an expert opinion on what you’re going through, or a non-judgmental ear just to listen? Do you think you could benefit the most from individualized attention? Are you hesitant to talk to others about your problems? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, then individual therapy could be the solution you’ve been seeking. In addition if you are someone who has struggles with attention difficulties, trauma, anxiety, mood trouble and depression, I may be able to help you.

I am a seasoned psychologist, consultant, clinician who has been practicing in the DC 30 years.

Strengths as an agent of positive change include my personable, collaborative approach and our success in achieving agreed- upon desired results.

My clients see positive results and return on investment relatively quickly. I love this work, and always learning.
