Veterans Therapists in Baltimore, MD
You feel stuck in patterns you can’t think your way out of—racing thoughts, intrusive fears, relationship disconnection, or the lingering impact of past experiences. I work with teens, adults, and couples navigating OCD, anxiety, and trauma, helping you move out of fear-based cycles and toward a life that feels more grounded, flexible, and fully yours. My approach is active and tailored to how your brain and nervous system work. I use EMDR to reprocess trauma, ACT to build flexibility, and exposure-based strategies for OCD and anxiety. In couples work, we focus on breaking stuck patterns and rebuilding safe connection.

Are you at your wits end from carrying too much for too long? Have you been juggling responsibilities, trying to push through, feeling drained by stress, anxiety, or burnout? Many of the people I work with long for relief, clarity, and peace but aren't sure how to get there. You've probably tried other things, but by now, you know that you need support in this process. You want to quiet your mind, breathe easier, and feel more grounded in daily life. I see you. Together, we’ll create space to release the weight you’re carrying and rediscover the calm, balance, and guiding voice already within you.

Modern relationships are HARD. It’s a struggle to find the right person OR to wonder if your current partner is possibly the wrong person. It’s tough when you feel burned by or totally confused about your path. Maybe you’ve even made choices or overlooked things you now regret. Or, maybe it’s a relationship with a boss or coworkers who undervalue you or play favorites with others. Your work ethic and good ideas have long taken a backseat to putting out fires or just avoiding things way more than you should. You’re past thinking that life’s fair. But, you never thought that things could go THIS wrong or get under your skin THIS much.

Growing up as a child, with a parent being diagnosed with a mental health disorder, I experienced at first hand some of the problems that both individuals and family members are faced with. I watched as my parent was admitted over and over into mental health facilities. Not understanding why so many. I only knew that it was affecting my parent in a bad way as well as the family. This experience lead me into the field with the hope of lending a helping hand and a caring heart to help individuals like my parent obtain a sense of wellness.

My name is Michelle. As both a therapist and a person, I understand how people can quietly carry overwhelming experiences while still trying to function normally day to day. Illness, grief, caregiving, anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes can leave people feeling emotionally exhausted and alone.
I offer a grounded, and compassionate space for adults navigating these experiences. Before starting Compass Counseling I spent over a decade working in oncology and palliative care at Johns Hopkins. That work deeply shaped my understanding of grief, resilience and the emotional weight people often carry quietly.

I work with adults and teens navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, and major life transitions, particularly helpers, service members, veterans, first responders, and their families who are often carrying a great deal of responsibility while having little space to process their own experiences.
I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for your story. Together we’ll explore how your thoughts, emotions, and nervous system interact, helping you understand patterns that may be keeping you feeling stuck. My work integrates talk therapy, mind body awareness, and art therapy when helpful, no art experience is required.

My therapeutic approach is integrative and holistic, supporting the whole person. I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients compassionately understand and integrate different parts of themselves, alongside Somatic Experiencing to reconnect with the body’s wisdom and process stored experiences. I also draw from attachment-based frameworks to explore how early relational patterns shape present relationships. I work with anxiety, mood disorders, complex PTSD, ADHD, queer individuals, poly/mono couples, and kink/BDSM dynamics.

You’re not broken — you’re searching. Maybe you’ve found success in your life, but something still feels hollow. Maybe you’re overwhelmed by a loss, a transition, or the steady pressure of being human in a world that doesn’t stop moving. Or maybe you’ve started asking big questions about life: Who am I now? What really matters to me? How do I live fully knowing life is fragile and uncertain? These questions can shake your foundations — but also open the door to deeper meaning, clarity, and freedom. I get it: as an adult with ADHD, I know what it is like to yearn for answers to these questions, too.
