Therapists in Baltimore, MD

If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or sad, know that reaching out for help is the first step towards healing. I understand that stressors, losses and transitions can easily become overwhelming, and I can help you address the anxiety and negativity brought on during challenging times. My training in trauma, grief & loss, cultural diversity and spirituality provides me with tools to help you explore what may be compounding or affecting your difficulties. I have particular interest in helping women address unique challenges complicated by societal expectations, multiple roles, and life cycle changes.

I offer individual psychotherapy to adolescents and adults in both English and Spanish. Currently, all appointments are virtual (so we can work together no matter where you are in the state of Maryland)! While I have significant experience working with survivors of interpersonal and oppression-based traumas (particularly sexual violence, intimate partner violence, trafficking, and migration), my door is open to all. I use a feminist lens, and an integrative, trauma-informed, approach to therapy. In my practice, I strive to cultivate an affirming space, where you can experience acceptance, empowerment, and relief from suffering.

Although most people will experience anxiety, depression, trauma, self esteem and relationship issues at some point in their life, some issues affect women differently and thus they need a different approach. Women deal with many unique issues like carrying the emotional burden in relationships, having different standards of physical beauty, being discriminated against at work, struggling with fertility issues, and experiencing interesectional racism. Women are often told to "deal with it" or that they are being too emotional, but I am here to tell you that your feelings are completely valid!

Now Accepting New Clients (2023): The stressors of modern living create noisy interference in the “telephone line” to our highest self (often called the soul, spirit, unified field, universal consciousness, etc.). Through my intuitive psychotherapy practice, I cast my mystical gifts through the lens of my expertise as a licensed clinical social worker. Marrying the two allows for optimum balance between divine clarity and therapeutic processing and integration work. Clients benefit on a soul level while remaining anchored in practical application tools for everyday living.

Throughout life, there will always be times when we feel stuck and look for clarity. These times are stressful. Having support that can help you navigate through your thoughts and feelings for a productive outcome, can make the journey easier. You are the strength and key to the solution. Together we can tap into your inner strength to find a productive path and obtain clarity. Life’s challenges can leave us feeling scared, hopeless, frustrated, confused, and angry. You do not need to go through it alone. I can provide a safe space with empathy, care and understanding to walk through your journey with you.
