Personality Disorders Therapists in Baltimore, MD

I practice a relational form of psychodynamic therapy that views the therapeutic relationship as the site of potential transformation. I often have success working with people who have had negative or lackluster experiences in previous therapies and those who are ambivalent about beginning therapy. I specialize in longterm relational work and in working with adult men and athletes.

Do most things in your life feel overwhelming? Do you feel strong, intense, emotions and it's affecting your life? Do you feel like life is happening to you too fast? Therapy is a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore and untangle the different parts of your life. During our time together, we will explore your emotions, thoughts, and experiences to gain insight into the things going on in your life. We will then work to equip you with the tools you need to build a life you envision for yourself and adapt to adversity. I provide a safe space to be seen, heard and to receive support.

I have been a registered supervisor for over 13 years, and have spent most of my career working with vulnerable adults such as people experiencing homelessness and older adults. I have experience working with adults with chronic illness / pain and anxiety, mood, psychotic and personality disorders .

I aim to garden healing so that my clients can more vibrantly and intentionally shape change as their truest selves.

I'm kink/BDSM-affirming, sex and body-positive. I've worked w/artists, professionals, organizers/activists, students, and disabled individuals and couples.

Desiring to progress but feeling stagnant in several areas in your life? Therapy is a relationship, and it is important to me that you feel seen, heard, and understood. I am empathetically direct, and I encourage my clients to express themselves in a way that feels authentic to them. We can create goals and explore past childhood trauma or issues that may impact who you are today. Therapy works best when we work together.

I aim to work supportively and collaboratively with my clients to create a warm, inviting atmosphere that allows us to work towards your goals together. I work with adolescents, young adults, adults, and families who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, oppositional defiant disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, school challenges, family conflict, life transitions, disordered eating, grief and loss, substance abuse, sports performance concerns, personality disorders , and severe mental illness.

----NO LONGER ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS. WILL UPDATE WHEN AVAILABLE.----- Maybe you are suffering, but are not sure why or have trouble speaking about it. Perhaps you've noticed that you keep repeating the same patterns, but are not certain how. I have worked for over eight years with people suffering from a range of symptoms, those who have suffered with trauma and loss, and those dealing with problems in loving and/or working. I enjoy working with those who identify as LGBT+, queer or kinky, with racial, ethnic, and religious minority individuals, and those from a range of socio-economic backgrounds.

I enjoy helping people learn how their minds work. So much of what we do and how we live is driven by our conditioning aka how we were raised and what we've experienced in our lives, as well as endowed temperament and personality traits. I work with folks struggling with a variety of issues including complex mental health disorders, substance abuse, and personality vulnerabilities. Additionally, I facilitate preparation and integration sessions for clients seeking healing through plant medicines.

I am a compassionate therapist with extensive knowledge and experience in mental health and substance abuse management through using a wide range of treatment modalities. My clients range from ages 18 to 65 years with a wide range of mental health concerns. I believe in a positive, supportive approach in working with each individual client to develop their own unique treatment goals for the best possible outcome.

Life is difficult. At times it can feel like we'll never break free of the pain. It is my passion to help clients challenge the negative thoughts that influence the view of ourselves, our world, and the people around us. I truly value being able to connect with my patients over the things that make us feel vulnerable, imperfect, and human and collaborate to radically accept, grow from, and manage these painful experiences while continuing to build a life worth living.
