Psychodynamic Therapists in Baltimore, MD

I work with clients to develop deeper insights into thought and behavior patterns and to help them find strategies to improve their relationships. My passion lies in helping individuals manage their mental health and helping couples manage mental health struggles, gender transitions, and polyamory. In Towson, I work with my four-legged partner, a samoyed therapy dog named Eir, who provides comfort and support and takes an active role in play therapy with our younger clients. In Bel Air, I work with horses of Bay Meadow Farm to provide equine-assisted psychotherapy.

If you are feeling stuck and wonder if therapy can be helpful, I encourage you to call. I provide a safe environment for individuals to process and integrate traumatic memories while learning ways to regulate emotions and trauma symptoms.

You've decided to try therapy. Good for you! It takes courage and insight to recognize when you need help and to ask for it. How do you choose among the many therapists? Consider making a list of your preferences: gender, age, experience, location, cost. If you have insurance, it makes sense to use an in-network provider but you may also have out of network benefits which a call to your insurance company will clarify. To find a good fit, consider talking with 2-3 therapists about why you are seeking treatment and ask how they could help. Assess your comfort level with each and then make a choice. Trust your gut!

I draw on influences from a number of schools of thought in my style, however I tend to be psychodynamic at heart.
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."

I believe that feeling heard, understood, and validated is the first step to a therapeutic relationship in which growth to one's potential can occur. Recognition and affirmation of strengths is important to my approach. Being sensitive to an individual's life experience is central. I focus on one's feelings, thoughts, stressors and resources, as well as try to understand the individual and cultural history from which issues evolve. I apply a variety of approaches including mindfulness-based, cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and psychodynamic. I have many years of experience working with individuals with a wide array of concerns.
