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 have experience working with individuals, families, and couples across the lifespan. I have worked in multiple settings with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, BPD, PTSD, ADHD, autism, psychosis, addiction, and non-suicidal self-injury. I have the privilege of serving in the mental health field for just over 15 years. As a parent and active member in the autism community, my passion is working with individuals and families on the spectrum.

I have been in the field of social work since 2007, and my approach focuses on healing obstacles to attaining peace and satisfaction in your life. My style of practice is relational, and my aim is to offer expert support as you navigate challenges at your own pace. I specialize in working with individuals and couples who feel disconnected, specifically those who have experienced trauma and contend with its impact on their sense of wellbeing. I often have success working with people who have had unsatisfying therapy experiences, and my clients include therapists, abuse survivors, teachers, and first responders.

Through our dialogue, I work to bring to consciousness the fears, conflicts and inhibitions that prevent you from living a fully realized life. In this way, I hope to help you draw on your own inner wisdom in order to create positive change. The following quotation by Rainer Maria Rilke resonates with my perspective on change: "Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love."

We often do not prioritize giving ourselves the time and space to explore what is going on within us and untangle our emotions. In a fast-paced world, it is important that we create the time to do so and reflect on what parts of the self we're neglecting that need compassionate care. My goal is to create that safe space while helping you tend to your heart, mind, and body on your journey towards healing. I aim to help clients find and build on their inner strengths, while learning to manage intense emotions, grow self-esteem and stronger boundaries, heal wounds, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Are you a young intuitive woman struggling to envision your future? Are you feeling anxious or stuck? Have you been hurt or traumatized? Feel like your full potential is unreachable? Or frustrated with life? Be still. Breathe. Seek deep within, for YOU are the Guru. And you have the power to change things! Are you ready to transform your life, by feeling fulfilled in life and your relationships? Are you ready to explore and journey into your own unique expression of self? Are you ready to tap into your magick and blessings? Become a new radiant you with my support and guidance! All of you is welcome.

Human interaction is powerful - and we often are unaware of the impact of our experiences until we speak them aloud to an understanding ear. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe, affirming space so that we can explore issues and address problems together, working from your perspective. I work with adults and adolescents who have experienced grief and bereavement, childhood trauma, anxiety and depression, chronic illness, identity-based discrimination and life transitions - as well as those who are caregivers, exploring gender and/or sexuality, or are having difficulty at work. I am an EMDR-Certified Therapist.
